Five Innovations of Pirelli Tire Technology

Coping with the development of automobile industry

At this forum, Lu Mingcheng shared with the guests "Innovative tire technology to cope with the development of automobile industry".

In the new era, the demand of automobile manufacturers for tire performance is constantly changing and differentiated, which brings a series of challenges to tire manufacturers.

Lu Mingcheng said that Pirelli has been adhering to the concept of "tailor-made" for a long time, providing original tires for world-renowned automobile manufacturers and providing consumers with higher performance and safer products.

At the same time, the application of the latest technology and continuous research and development have continuously enriched Pirelli's customized product matrix with professional technology and super-professional technology. It is understood that Pirelli provides original tires for world-renowned high-end and prestigious automobile manufacturers, and currently has more than 4,000 original factory certifications.

In this forum, Lu Mingcheng also showed us five core technologies of Pirelli's response to the changes in the automobile industry: Pirelli RUN FLATTM tire technology, Pirelli SEAL INSIDETM tread dynamic instant self-repair technology, Pirelli PNCSTM silencing system, Pirelli ELECTTM electric vehicle tire technology, Pirelli CYBER? Intelligent tire system, with tailor-made strategy, fully adapts to the ever-changing and differentiated requirements of automobile manufacturers for tire performance, which demonstrates Pirelli's determination to take root in China market and its unremitting pursuit of creating excellent products.

1, Pirelli flat tire technology

Pirelli's flat tire technology gives consideration to driving safety and driving pleasure. When the tire is flat or deflated, it can provide continuous driving maneuverability and ensure the stability of the vehicle. It can continue to drive safely at a top speed of 80 kilometers per hour for less than 80 kilometers, without temporarily replacing the spare tire or worrying about the vehicle breaking down in the countryside or dangerous environment.

2. Pirelli SEAL INSIDETM tread dynamic instant self-repair technology.

Pirelli SEAL INSIDETM tread dynamic instant self-repair technology is a brand-new tire construction technology, which can ensure that tires punctured by foreign objects can continue driving without air leakage. When a tire burst occurs, the rubber sealant inside the tire will form a sealing isolation ring around the external foreign body at the moment of tire burst to prevent the loss of tire pressure caused by air leakage. When the foreign matter is removed, the sealant will be sucked into the pores left by the foreign matter to seal the holes.

It is worth mentioning that Pirelli tread dynamic instant self-repair technology can deal with most puncture situations without affecting tire integrity. Moreover, this kind of tire does not need to be equipped with a specific rim, which can provide users with safer, worry-free and reassuring quality products and driving experience. Up to now, Pirelli has a number of original factory certifications for dynamic real-time self-repair technology of tread 1 10.

3. Pirelli PNCSTM noise elimination system

Pirelli PNCSTM noise elimination system is the best solution to reduce tire cavity noise during vehicle driving. The noise generated by gas standing wave, wheel direction and vehicle vibration in tire cavity is called cavity noise. Pirelli noise elimination system can effectively alleviate this noise, thus improving driving comfort.

Pirelli PNCSTM noise elimination system can reduce the vibration amplitude of gas in tire cavity, and reduce the detectable noise by about 50% on average according to different models, thus improving driving comfort.

4. Pirelli electric vehicle tire technology

Pirelli ELECTTM electric vehicle tire technology is a technology specially developed by Pirelli for pure electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, with a series of specific innovative technologies.

Pirelli ELECTTM electric vehicle tire technology has the characteristics of low rolling resistance, low noise emission and maximum tire grip. It also has the advantages of "improving battery life, improving driving comfort, enhancing vehicle traction and reducing tire wear".

Lu Mingcheng said that Pirelli ELECTTM electric vehicle tire technology has obtained more than 250 original certifications so far. On the basis of ensuring safety and handling, it can also make electric vehicles achieve longer cruising range, improve driving comfort and meet the environmental protection travel needs of consumers.

5. Pirelli Cyber? Intelligent tire system

Pirelli Cyber? Intelligent tire system, namely Pirelli intelligent tire with sensor. The system represents the future of tires: based on the complete integration with the vehicle electronic system, the system can help vehicles identify or predict potential dangerous situations, which is equivalent to providing "touch" for vehicles and facilitating their timely intervention. Future, Pirelli Cyber? The intelligent tire system will be interconnected with other vehicles and surrounding infrastructure through the network to improve the safety of autonomous driving and protect consumers.

Lu Mingcheng said Pirelli Cyber? At present, the smart tire system has been equipped with the original factory and assembled with the McLaren Artura model. Pirelli Cyber? Intelligent tire system provides a lot of information for vehicles and drivers through sensors embedded in tires, including tire type (summer tires or winter tires), specified tire pressure, load index, speed level and information during driving, such as temperature and tire pressure, so as to provide valuable help for drivers in defensive safe driving, vehicle performance improvement and environmental protection emission. Its specific functions are selected and defined by automobile manufacturers for different models.

Pirelli's innovative technology leads the industry development.

As one of the important carriers of automobile performance, tires will undoubtedly have a broader development space in the future when the China automobile market is more mature and diversified, and will also be an unavoidable option for automobile enterprises in the process of strengthening quality.

Pirelli can maintain the leading position in the world's advanced tire production technology because Pirelli maintains cooperative relations with major automobile manufacturers, has leading innovative technologies and environmentally-friendly materials, creates cutting-edge designs, develops flexible and efficient manufacturing processes, and invests heavily in research and development.

Among many markets, China is undoubtedly one of the markets that Pirelli attaches great importance to. Facing the market trend of rapid development, digitalization and electrification in China, Pirelli has made a forward-looking layout, and will continue to increase investment in innovative R&D under the guidance of high-value strategy and tailor-made strategy, and work closely with partners to provide high-quality and all-round solutions for the China market and customers.
