Pirelli car tyre technologies include ‘Elect’ range for electric vehicles

Pirelli tyres tuned for electric vehicles are signified by the manufacturer’s ‘Elect’ branding, joining a range of other innovations increasingly demanded by car manufacturers and drivers.

With the engine no longer the primary source of noise, combatting sound frequencies produced by tyres is vital to capitalise on a key advantage of the new wave of electric cars, Pirelli states.
