Bosch and Pirelli have formed a strategic partnership to develop intelligent tire technology, combining Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre with Bosch’s advanced hardware, software, and sensor expertise. This collaboration is set to enhance driving safety, comfort, and vehicle dynamics through real-time data transmission from tire sensors to the vehicle’s control systems. Together, these two industry leaders aim to shape the future of mobility by delivering greater control, efficiency, and sustainability to drivers.
Key Highlights:
- Pirelli Cyber Tyre technology integrates sensors into tires to gather real-time data for enhanced driving experiences.
- Bosch’s expertise in MEMS sensors and software will optimize tire data processing for vehicle dynamics control.
- The partnership focuses on developing software-based solutions for improving driving safety, comfort, and performance.
- Bosch’s low-energy Bluetooth technology enables efficient data transmission from tires to vehicles.
- Initial collaboration with Pagani Automobili demonstrates successful implementation in high-performance vehicles.
Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre system stands as the world’s first tire solution with integrated sensors that collect and transmit real-time data to the vehicle. This innovative technology allows drivers to experience improved vehicle handling and performance through more accurate tire information processed by Bosch’s electronic stability control (ESP) systems. The first application of this technology was seen in Pagani Automobili’s hypercar, enhancing control for an optimized driving experience.
Bosch, a global technology leader, contributes its MEMS sensor technology, known for precision and efficiency, to this collaboration. By using low-power Bluetooth communication, data from the in-tire sensors is transferred to the vehicle’s control unit, enabling better performance with minimal energy consumption. Both companies are focused on expanding this technology to bring safer and more sustainable mobility solutions to the automotive industry.
