Standard Supply Power Unit Components Definition

Chapter: C18

In Simple Terms

Standard Supply Power Unit Components (SSPUCs) are specific F1 engine parts that are made by an official FIA supplier and given to all teams on exactly the same terms. This ensures fair competition by preventing any team from getting better components than others.

  • SSPUCs are manufactured by an FIA-appointed supplier, not by individual teams
  • All Power Unit manufacturers receive identical components on the same technical and commercial basis
  • This standardization rule promotes competitive fairness across all teams
  • Teams cannot modify or source these standard components from elsewhere
Official FIA Text
