Nissan have confirmed that they will provide powertrains to Andretti across Gen4 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
The multi-year deal unites two of the championship’s most established teams to build a powerful technical alliance for the sport’s next generation.
Andretti confirmed in May that they would be concluding their relationship with Porsche going into the Gen4 era, but did not provide more information on which powertrains would be taking their place as Formula E prepares for an exciting new generation.
Launched at the start of the 2022/23 season, the Andretti-Porsche alliance quickly became one of Formula E’s most formidable and rewarding partnerships. Together they helped Jake Dennis win his first drivers’ title.
We’re delighted to welcome Andretti Formula E as our customer team for the GEN4 era. Formula E is an increasingly competitive championship, and having a strong partner is an important part of maximizing both performance and technical development. Andretti is one of the most successful names in motorsport, including Formula E, where it has established itself as one of the leading teams in the sport, consistently competing at the front and securing a Drivers’ World Championship. We look forward to working closely together and building a strong partnership.
Tommaso Volpe, Nissan’s Team Principal and Managing Director.
With a motorsports legacy lasting over 80 years and multiple wins and championships across a diverse range of categories including the current Formula E World Drivers’ Championship, Nissan has more than proven its pedigree at the highest echelons of the sport. As an early pioneer of electric vehicles, Nissan has developed vast knowledge in this category and through their time in Formula E have shown how immensely competitive they can be. It’s these characteristics that align so well with the approach of Andretti Formula E and why we are extremely proud to be aligned with the Japanese manufacturer entering the highly anticipated GEN4 era in Formula E.
Roger Griffiths, Team Principal of Andretti Formula E.
