Pirelli CTO, Pierangelo Misani, on the tyremaker’s ‘Eco Safety’ philosophy

Last year, Pirelli released the Pirelli P Zero E, which not only features top-level performance in terms of rolling resistance, wet grip and pass-by noise (a collection of outcomes that make the tyre a triple-A product in terms of label performance) but is also a flagship product in terms of sustainability. With sustainability increasingly a mark of premium quality, Tyres & Accessories interviewed Pirelli Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Pierangelo Misani, during the recent The Tire Cologne event in Germany
Sustainability was writ large across Pirelli’s Tire Cologne exhibit, so it was no surprise to hear Pierangelo Misani describe sustainability as “the most important value we are looking for”, adding that “we don’t want to be driven by the rules on sustainability, but to be ahead of the rules, to anticipate…sustainability matters.”
