Introducing our new Potenza Sport A, Bridgestone’s first mass-produced tyre to source 55% recycled and renewable materials in its production, following certification from the globally recognised International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS. The ultra-high performance tyre has been developed with our ENLITEN Technology to improve its sustainability characteristics and make it fully EV-ready, without any compromise on safety or performance. And, Bridgestone’s Potenza Sport A premium tyre is not a concept or a pilot project. It has been carefully chosen by AUDI AG as original equipment for their new Audi e-tron GT. Demonstrating Bridgestone’s innovative capabilities to combine sustainability and performance, the new Potenza Sport A marks another key milestone on our journey toward using 100% sustainable materials by 2050.

Today we’re announcing the start of a new chapter in our work to reduce tyre waste. We’re launching a new collaboration with Grupo BB&G and Versalis to establish a closed-loop ecosystem to transform end-of-life tyres into new tyres. The collaboration will see ELTs transformed into tyre pyrolysis oil, which will be used to create high-quality elastomers for the production of new tyres.

Bridgestone EMEA is in the top 1% of the 130,000 companies assessed globally by leading business sustainability ratings provider, EcoVadis. We've received EcoVadis' top Platinum rating for three consecutive years since 2021, having climbed from receiving a Silver rating back in 2015. Our EcoVadis rating is a great proof point for the progress we've made in recent years. It reflects our ongoing commitment to all areas of sustainability as we evolve into a sustainable solutions company, guided by the Bridgestone E8 Commitment. We may be among the top EcoVadis performers globally, but as ever, there are still a lot of positive steps that need to be made on the road to 2050 and beyond!

Our ultimate aim is carbon neutrality (Scope 1 & 2) by 2050, and this is another major step on the road to that goal as we help shape a more sustainable future for all.

We’re happy to share that Bridgestone has been chosen by Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. as their exclusive tyre partner for the new Lamborghini Temerario super sportscar. As Lamborghini’s ‘Official Technical Partner’, we've custom-engineered three tyre fitments for the new Lamborghini Temerario, helping the Hybrid High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) achieve its best performance on and off the track, as well as in tough winter conditions. Bridgestone has delivered bespoke Potenza Sport and Potenza Race tyres for the Temerario’s summer and track fitments, and a custom-developed Blizzak LM005 tyre for its winter fitment to answer all drivers’ needs. All three premium tyres were developed using our proprietary Virtual Tyre Development technology for additional benefits in terms of sustainability and efficiency.

Earlier this year, the Aspark SP600, with custom-engineered Bridgestone tyres, became the fastest electric vehicle in the world! Designed by Manifattura Automobili Torino, the electric hypercar hit a top speed of 438.7 kph on bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Race tyres, a unique fitment based on our flagship ultra-high performance tyre. For its record-breaking run, the prototype SP600 demanded tyres not only capable of reaching such a high speed, but also able to handle the specific demands of the Aspark’s vehicle weight and driving dynamics. With a pattern application that maximises high speed performance, this unique Potenza Race tyre also provided the safety and robustness required for a new EV world record. As we work to advance a new era of sustainable motorsports, this was another brilliant milestone. Congratulations to all the teams involved!
