Bridgestone amongst tender winners for Formula E Gen4 car
Following a World Motor Sport Council meeting, the FIA announced the approved companies responsible for producing the chassis, battery, and tires for the Gen4 cars in Formula E. Bridgestone will return to single-seater competition, providing tires for Formula E after its association with Formula 1 ended in 2010. Bridgestone will replace Hankook as the sole tire supplier and produce two types of tires for the Gen4 machines, including an all-weather tire and a heavy rain tire. This will be the first time in nine seasons that two different types of tires will be available in Formula E. Podium Advanced Technologies will provide the battery, Marelli will supply the front powertrain, and Spark Racing Technologies will continue to supply the chassis for the Gen4 machines. The Gen4 car will have a significant increase in power and focus on aerodynamics, with a wider and heavier construction compared to the current Gen3 car.
