Pirelli and Bosch have signed a joint agreement to develop new software based products and driving functions thanks to sensors integrated into tyres, also known as in tyre sensors.
The two companies intend to explore together enhanced tyre signal computing logic as potential input for enhanced vehicle dynamic controllers.

Pirelli Cyber Tyre is claimed to be the world’s first system based on tyres with integrated sensors that collect data and transmit it to the vehicle to be processed in real time.
Bosch has already developed an ESP application specifically adapted to Pirelli tyres in an initial joint project with the hypercar manufacturer Pagani Automobili. The Pirelli Cyber Tyre technology on the Pagani Utopia Roadster transmits key tyre information to the ESP control unit. This enables optimal use of the individual properties and performance of the tyres, providing enhanced greatest safety and tailored driving conditions.
Bosch contributes its system level hardware and software expertise to the development cooperation and also claims to be a leader in MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensor technology and develops and manufactures tyre pressure sensors using the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) standard.
By merging this expertise with Pirelli’s in tyre devices technology, both hardware and software, algorithms, and tyre modeling, it will be possible to collect, process, and transmit real time tyre data to provide parameters for the vehicle’s electronic control system, using BLE with very low power consumption.
