MotoGP is set for major technical regulation changes in 2027, bringing a significant transformation to the bikes, including a reduction in engine displacement to 850cc.
Among these changes, noise levels will be reduced, and one key innovation will be the adoption of sustainable fuel. Steps are already being taken to implement this environmentally friendly solution.
FIM President Jorge Viegas, speaking to SportTV, revealed that during a recent meeting in Barcelona, discussions focused on this new fuel. He mentioned that the MotoGP fuel could be ‘possibly the same as the one the FIA introduced in Formula 1, 100% sustainable’.
The challenge, however, lies in its cost, as such fuel is currently expensive. The FIM is collaborating with an independent laboratory and several major oil companies to address this issue.
Viegas further explained: ‘We are trying to reach a consensus among all fuel companies on a specification for MotoGP fuel, which will then also apply to Superbike, endurance racing, and all classes – working together with the manufacturers’.
