Following on from the news that Gérry Hughes joins the team as team principal, NextEV Nio have continued to add to their team with the appointment Silk, who has previously worked in senior roles in the Renault, Marussia and Williams Formula One teams.

Silk spent eleven years at the Renault F1 team, including eight years as Chief Test Engineer. He then took project engineering roles at Marussia, followed by Williams.

Silk said that he was excited to continue the development of electric cars through the Formula E championship:

“I am obviously delighted to join the NextEV NIO Formula E team and am really looking forwards to working with such a talented team. As anyone who knows me will testify, I have always been very environmentally aware, and joining a team that is working so hard to improve the technology that will improve all our futures is a real privilege. Motor racing is always about pushing the boundaries of new technologies and in this aspect Formula E really excels. I can’t wait for Buenos Aires!”

Team principal Gérry Hughes added:

I am delighted to welcome him to the team and look forward to working with him closely.”

Both Nelson Piquet and Oliver Turvey will compete for NextEV NIO at this weekend’s Buenos Aires ePrix, which is round three of the current season.
