The new tire is futuristic, transparent and literally green, because it's filled with moss.
这款新型轮胎很有未来感，它是透明的，而且也确实是绿色的，因为整个轮胎充满苔藓。
This concept tire called Oxygene would be for megacity of ten million plus inhabitants
这个名为“Oxygene”的概念轮胎将用于居住人口超过一千万的大城市，
where you would have about two million five hundred cars in this city.
在这样一座城市里将拥有大约250万辆汽车。
Looking at these trends you see urban greening coming.
按照这些趋势，你会看到城市绿化的到来。
The moss inside the tire absorbs CO2 through tiny holes in the rim which it converts to oxygen.
轮胎内部的苔藓会通过边缘的小孔吸收二氧化碳，并将其转化为氧气。
That process photosynthesis requires sunlight, which explains why Oxygene uses a transparent wheel.
光合作用需要阳光，这就解释了为什么“Oxygene”要使用透明的轮子。
The tread pattern allows the tire to absorb water which moss needs.
胎面花纹使轮胎能吸收苔藓所需的水分。
Combine sunlight, CO2 and moss and you get oxygen.
把阳光，二氧化碳和苔藓结合起来，就能得到氧气。
Besides reducing pollution, Oxygene generates its own electricity by harnessing the energy created during photosynthesis.
除了减少污染，“Oxygene”利用光合作用过程中产生的能量为自己提供电力。
The new tire is made with rubber from recycled tires, which also reduces waste.
新轮胎由回收轮胎的橡胶制成，这也减少了浪费。
We've traditionally struggled to dispose of all recycled tires, so how do you get round that?
我们很难处理掉所有回收的轮胎，所以你如何解决这个问题呢？
And that they are looking at it that they're trying to find solutions.
同时这也是他们所关注的，并且也一直致力于寻找解决方法。
You know, it has to be a holistic approach. It can't just be the car makers worrying about the engine in the car.
这必须从全盘着眼，不能像汽车制造商只关心汽车引擎。
There are all sorts of environmental challenges through car production and through running a car. And Goodyear are trying to address that.
从生产汽车到驾驶汽车，我们会遇到许多环境问题，“Goodyear”正着手解决这些问题。
Oxygene must still undergo extensive field testing before the concept tire comes to life.
在概念轮胎问世之前，“Oxygene”必须进行广泛的实地测试。
But Goodyear says that should happen in the coming months.
但“Goodyear”说未来几个月内新型轮胎就会面世。
