Spark Racing Technology

founded in october 2012 by renowned engineer frédéric vasseur, spark racing technology specialises in the design and build of hybrid and fully electric systems. a motorsport veteran of 20 years, vasseur created the company to coincide with the arrival of the fia formula e championship, a revolutionary and entirely electric series that begins in september. in late-2015, spark will relocate to a new 1,500-square-metre headquarters, where it will have access to ultra-modern engine dynamometers and battery test beds. in november 2012 formula e holdings ceo alejandro agag appointed srt to produce 40 electric single-seaters, ensuring the promoters a proficient and reliable partner. it would prove key to showing investors, the media and general public that the project was in safe hands. on 28 june 2013, the federation internationale de l’automobile (fia) officially appointed spark racing technology as car supplier for the championship.
