"A wheel equipped with Michelin's active wheel technology appears from the outside to be a standard wheel and tire package. But on the inside, there are springs and electric motors and other electromechanical components and connections, all packaged within the circumference of the wheel and tire.
Electric motors not only turn the wheels, but can be used to slow and stop them, so traditional disc or drum brakes might eventually be eliminated, or at least reduced to smaller, redundant systems. And by using electric motors to turn the wheels, large and heavy transmissions and differentials become obsolete.
With Michelin's active wheel system, vehicle designers could become more creative because suspension components that now intrude on interior space would be repackaged within each of the vehicle's four wheels, creating more room for people and cargo."
