Hop on board as we catch a ride with Gunnlaugur Erlendsson, Founder and CEO of Enso

Gunnlaugur, or “G,” provides a window into the future of the automotive industry, where our tires are as efficient as our EVs. While our cars are producing less emissions, the tire industry continues to be a primary contributor to microplastics and pollution. Durable, efficient and cost-effective, ENSO is paving the way for cleaner roads. Grab a coffee, maybe with a splash of Kahlúa, as G takes us to the moon and back in the world of tires.
