Pirelli ‘P Zero Elect’ tire will come OE on the all-electric BMW iX

Pirelli will supply its P Zero Elect tires as original equipment to the new BMW iX, a 100% electric SUV. Pirelli says P Zero Elect tires are available for the BMW iX xDrive50 version in 255/50R21 109Y XL and 275/40R22 107Y XL sizes, with the latter size also available for the sportier M60 version. All of these tires are marked with a star on the side to indicate that they have been specially developed for BMW as part of Pirelli’s “perfect fit” philosophy.

Pirelli says these products are created from the beginning to enhance the individual characteristics of electric cars, as denoted by the “Elect” marking on the sidewall of the tire itself.

ZF announced it developed an electric motor that does not require magnets. In contrast to the magnet-free concepts of separately excited synchronous motors (SESM) already available today, ZF said its I2SM (In-Rotor Inductive-Excited Synchronous Motor) transmits the energy for the magnetic field via an inductive exciter inside the rotor shaft. This makes the motor uniquely compact with maximum power and torque density.
