Jaguar joins forces with Envision
Jaguar and the British-based Formula E team, Envision Racing, have announced a new multi-year customer supply relationship which will start at the launch of the 2022 FIA Formula E World Championship season. The agreement will see Jaguar supply its successful powertrain technology to Envision Racing for Formula E’s highly-anticipated Gen3 era. The new generation of Formula E is the sport’s third-generation all-electric racing car and will set the benchmark for performance, efficiency and sustainability in high-performance vehicles.
Jaguar’s customer supply agreement with Envision Racing is in addition to its own race-winning factory team, Jaguar Racing. From the start of next season, and for the new Gen3 era of Formula E, there will be four Jaguar-powered Formula E race cars fighting for points, podiums and wins. Together, the teams have 15 wins and more than 40 podiums between them so collaborating and sharing the technical expertise of both camps is set to be a winning formula. As the sport continues to grow its reach, the impact of the technology developed is leading the way for the future of clean mobility from race to the road. Jaguar, via its long-term Formula E technical partner Williams Advanced Engineering, will supply Envision Racing with its new high-voltage electric motor, inverter, transmission, cooling system, casing and suspension. Envision Racing secured its first choice with Jaguar after identifying the British manufacturer as its ideal partner, because of its innovation, race-winning performance and a shared ambition to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles.
“We are pleased to announce that we will supply Envision Racing with our Jaguar Formula E powertrain in Gen3,” said James Barclay, managing director at Jaguar Land RoverMotorsport. “They are one of the most competitive teams in Formula E and it’s an honour that they want to use Jaguar’s powertrain technology in this new era of FIA Formula E.We look forward to working and achieving further successes together in the future.We have a huge amount of respect for all of the Envision Racing team – they are an ideal customer team for Jaguar.
“Envision Racing will be able to optimise their own performance so we remain rivals on track. We race to innovate together and I’m excited to see four Jaguar powered Formula E race cars line up on the grid alongside each other next season.”
