Bridgestone to supply next generation of Formula E tires
Bridgestone has been named by the FIA as the tire supplier for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship starting with the 2026-27 season that will mark the series’s revised GEN4 cars and continuing through 2030. The Japanese brand will replace Hankook as the all-electric series’ sole tire supplier.
Bridgestone intends to make its Formula E involvement a cornerstone of the company’s sustainable global motorsports strategy, helping it to continue to develop and refine sustainable technology and accelerate innovation to deliver value where it “produces” and “uses” tires, and then “renews” them to raw materials.
“Motorsports is Bridgestone’s passion. Always has been, and always will be. I am delighted to be able to announce our return to an FIA world championship this year as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of our motorsports activities,” said Shu Ishibashi, Global CEO and Representative Executive Officer, Bridgestone Corporation. “As we face our next stage, Bridgestone aims to evolve sustainable global premium motorsports products with our enduring passion to embrace the ultimate challenge and to pursue excellence in every moment. The core of our supply arrangement with the FIA will be the expansion and enhancement of ‘ENLITEN’ tire product technology, enabling ‘ultimate customization’ that we define our ‘new premium in the EV era.’”
