Founder Of The Game Changing Vehicle Maintenance Startup RoboTire, Victor Darolfi

Victor Darolfi is the CEO & Founder at RoboTire which automates vehicle maintenance for today’s and tomorrow’s driverless cars. Instead of taking 60 minutes, a shop using Robotire can change a set of four tires in under 15 minutes.

With 11 years of experience developing, producing, and building robots and automation equipment, Victor Darolfi is a seasoned entrepreneur and dedicated roboticist. Tesla, SpaceX, Zume Pizza, Space System Loral, Zee Aero, Intel, and Lam Research are among the organisations that have his technology installed and working.

Cost-per-mile and uptime are all that count in a fleet-centric world where everything is delivered to someone’s home. Vehicles will travel longer distances, and the reduced complexity of electric motors will transform the automotive repair industry. RoboTire will automate car maintenance to the level of production. Because tyres are future-proof and scale from luxury personal autos to freight-centric big-rigs, they are the ideal vertical to tackle initially. The contemporary tyre changing industry has an ageing workforce but nevertheless has healthy profit margins.

With RoboTire in future, Victor plans to develop and deploy a robotic tyre changing container that can change tyres in under ten minutes. RoboTire containers, which are fully integrated, can be placed within existing stores, Walmart parking lots, or in the midst of a fleet servicing area hundreds of miles from a big metropolis.

In the medium term, they will expand to include brakes, oil, batteries, and other components, transforming into an uptime assembly line that keeps fleets on the road 24 hours a day, seven days a week at a fraction of the current maintenance cost per mile.
