Formula E World Championship: Nissan commits till 2025-26 season

The Gen3 era of the championship begins in season 9, the 2022-23 season, and will feature even more powerful and faster cars.

Nissan announced its long-term commitment to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship racing through the end of the 2025-2026 season of the all-electric racing series. Nissan joined the series in season 5 as the only Japanese manufacturer. The Gen3 era of the championship begins in season 9, the 2022-23 season, and will feature even more powerful and faster cars. Nissan aims to bring its expertise in transferring knowledge and technology between the race track and road for better electric vehicles for customers. In the first two seasons in Formula E, Nissan focused on its "Phase One road-to-track" technical objectives, which took experience and learnings from the Nissan Leaf, Nissan's most recognizable road-going EV, to develop the performance of the Nissan e.dams race car. In its debut season, Nissan e.dams was the best qualifying team in the championship, while in its second season, the team powered to second place in the team's championship. As the team races in the current 2020-2021 season, seven and looks toward the Gen3 era from season 9, it embarks on "Phase Two track-to-road" of its technology transfer goals, where the technically fast-moving championship will help Nissan showcase features that aim to encourage consumer adoption of its EVs. As part of its goal to achieve carbon neutrality across its operations and the life cycle of its products by 2050, Nissan intends to electrify all-new Nissan vehicle offerings by the early 2030s.
