“Electric cars are very different from traditional internal combustion vehicles, so require specific tyres. The number of homologations obtained from major manufacturers confirms the validity of the path we have chosen to follow, which is to offer technology that can be adapted to vehicles, tyres, and seasons,” said Piero Misani, Chief Technical Officer of Pirelli.
Pirelli Elect technology is integrated into multiple product families, including the P Zero, Scorpion, and Cinturato ranges, covering all seasons. This comprehensive approach ensures that BEVs and PHEVs benefit from high performance, comfort, and efficiency across various driving conditions.
