The agreement, announced during a global premiere in Rome, will begin with the 2026/27 season and span four seasons through the 2029/2030 period. The partnership coincides with the introduction of the Gen4 era, which features high-performance vehicles with significant upgrades, including a peak power of 600kW and permanent active all-wheel drive. These vehicles are expected to reach top speeds of 335km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 1.8 seconds. To support these cars, Bridgestone is developing POTENZA Gen4 tires, including a specialized variant designed for heavy rain called the ‘POTENZA GEN4 for TYPHOON TYRE’. Sustainability is a core element of the deal, as the tires will be composed of 65% recycled and renewable materials, such as silica from rice husks and carbon black from pyrolysis oil or end-of-life tires. Furthermore, the manufacturing processes for these tires will utilize 100% renewable energy. Bridgestone has also secured naming rights for four e-Prix events during the 2026/2027 season in Mexico City, Berlin, Shanghai, and Tokyo. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-02: Bridgestone to become sole tire supplier for Formula E Bridgestone will become the sole tire supplier for Formula E starting in the 2026/27 season, debuting new POTENZA GEN4 tires designed for high-performance, sustainable electric racing. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bridgestone-to-become-sole-tire-supplier-for-formula-e-from-2026 ### 2026-09-30: Bridgestone named exclusive tire supplier for Formula E Bridgestone will become the exclusive tire supplier for Formula E through the 2029/2030 season, introducing sustainable Potenza Gen4 tires designed for the category's new high-performance era. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bridgestone-named-exclusive-tire-supplier-for-formula-e --- Cite as: Bridgestone Formula E tire supply partnership.
