Nissan Leads The Way in Formula E
Since the beginning of time, speed has captivated the human imagination. The thrill of raw power and velocity is an irresistible draw. Nissan understands this fascination with power and speed and is preparing to embrace the electric era with a steadfast commitment to fast e-cars.
In a bold move at a press conference held in Tokyo, just before the first-ever Formula E race in Japan, Nissan announced that it is the first manufacturer to pledge allegiance to the Gen4 era of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
Nissan has committed to the electric racing series from Seasons 13 (2026/27) to 16 (2029/30). This signals a huge step towards the future of electric racing.
Move Towards Electrification Goals
For speed enthusiasts, this decision promises an exhilarating spectacle. Formula E: Gen4 will introduce cutting-edge advancements in energy efficiency, race performance, and safety.
Imagine regeneration capabilities of up to 700kW, power output reaching a mind-blowing 600kW, and groundbreaking safety innovations, packed into sleek, electric race cars.
Makoto Uchida, CEO of Nissan Motor Corporation, understands the significance of this move, stating: “Our participation in the series will significantly contribute to our electrification goals in our Ambition 2030 plans. The technological breakthroughs we make on the track will provide great insights into developing our future products.”
Towards this goal, Nissan will introduce 34 electrified models between fiscal year 2024 and 2030 to cover all segments, with the model mix of electrified vehicles expected to account for 40% globally by fiscal year 2026 and rise to 60% by the end of the decade.
