It has been confirmed that Brembo will be Formula E's sole brake supplier until the end of the 2020/21 season.
Brembo was appointed by Spark Racing Technology, the exclusive supplier of the 'Gen 2' chassis which will be used from season five to seven in the all-electric single seater series, after the chassis was officially unveiled on Tuesday at the Geneva Auto Show.
This deal between Brembo and Spark will see the Italian brake manufacturer supply the whole braking system, including carbon pads and rotors.
“I am particularly satisfied for this achievement because it represents the final crowning of Brembo’s strong and continued commitment, and in particular of the Racing and R&D teams, to the development and production of the system selected by SRT, which I personally thank for the trust granted to Brembo, said Alberto Bombassei, the Chairman of Brembo.
"For a company that has always been focused on continuous innovation like Brembo, the Spark’s single seater for the FIA Formula E series represents an incomparable ‘mobile lab’ for the development of technology applied to the electric car, which is the real future – if not already present – challenge to the automotive sector.
"In such perspective we are also glad to sharing and supporting FIA’s vision and commitment to the sustainability of motorsports and road safety,” he added.
