Development for the powertrain that the Trulli Formula E team will run in season two is on track, says Jarno Trulli.

Talking to Autosport, the Italian who took pole position in Berlin sounds confident that next season will be a very different story for his team.

The 2004 Monaco Grand Prix winner has endured a difficult season, but having partnered with Italian technology company Tecnomatica to form Motormatica, one of eight manufacturers approved to produce motors, inverters and gearboxes for the 2015/16 season, he is more optimistic.

“We are now running the engine on the dyno,” Trulli told Autosport. “The gearbox has now been machined, so we should be on schedule and it’s looking pretty good. It will be different compared to this year because for the first season we didn’t have any information about the engine and gearbox. We are running what we are given and that has caused a lot of reliability and performance issues. We should be more in control of next year’s project and have a better understanding of the car and problems.”
