The Formula E World Championship is a clean energy car event promoted by the FIA. It will take part in a total of 20 drivers from 10 teams. It will kick off for the first time in September this year.

As the official partner and tire supplier of the FIA Formula Electric Championship, Michelin also designed and developed a new product specifically for this event. All participating teams will use this tire to compete on the track in the first two seasons.Its biggest innovation is to have radio frequency identificationRFID chipIt is implanted in the sidewall of the tire to track and collect the temperature and pressure of the tire during testing and competitions, which can be used as a basis for analyzing the performance of the car and vehicle tuning.
In fact, before this event, Michelin had already begun to install RFID chips on some mass-produced car and truck tires to track tire production, sales and usage records. In 2013, Michelin and its partners established a global standard for tire RFID, hoping to integrate tires with RFID electronic identification technology and promote them to more mass-produced and race tires.
The implantation of RFID chips in the tires of this Formula E car will also help the event organizers to introduce new rules to limit the number of tires used by participating teams in the race, because the racers in each race (including free practice, qualifying Only one set of tires is allowed in the race), which has an immediate effect in terms of tire cost saving and life extension.
