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.
Formula E’s Gen4 era is fast approaching, and ahead of the start of the 2026/27 Formula E season, Porsche and Kiro Race Co have confirmed the continuation of their technical relationship into the next season and beyond.
Since the start of the partnership at the beginning of the 2024/25 season, the CUPRA Kiro team have been able to utilise the highly efficient, championship-winning Porsche 99X Electric powertrain package. This has seen the small but mighty team put in some impressive results over the last few seasons, including a race win and two pole positions.
Heading into Gen4, both manufacturer and customer are faced with an all-new challenge. The Gen4 car will be an average of 10 seconds faster per lap than the Gen3 car in qualifying mode, Gen4 produces up to 600kW of power, a 71% increase in base output over Gen3 Evo, delivering performance that pushes the limits of electric racing, Gen4 is the only single seater race car with permanent all-wheel drive.
Andretti has become the first Formula E team to confirm their line-up for the 2026/27 season, with both Jake Dennis and Felipe Drugovich set to continue with the team.
The Brazilian born racer joined Andretti at the start of the 2025/26 season, having already made a name for himself in single seater racing as 2022 FIA Formula 2 champion, and reserve driver for the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team (2022-2025).
After a challenging start to the season, Drugovich has found his footing in recent rounds, scoring his first podium at the 2026 Monaco E-Prix. Starting fifth, his best qualifying result at that point in the season, he produced a calm and controlled drive around the principality.
The podium marked an important turning point for the Andretti driver, after admitting in Berlin that he was still learning how to fully adapt to Formula E’s all-electric machinery.
For Andretti, maintaining stability in their driver line-up has been important, especially as the championship looks to enter unchartered territory with the start of the Gen4 era, Formula E’s most exciting chapter yet.
Establishing a relationship in the form of fitting into the bigger picture was always the plan. When we brought Felipe into the team, we centered our relationship as a long-term commitment from both sides with him playing an important part in our future. He’s shown strong speed, great professionalism and has already achieved his first podium in his rookie season, demonstrating his capability of integrating quickly into the team. Roger Griffiths, Andretti Formula E Team Principal.
I’m very happy to continue this journey with Andretti Formula E. From the moment I joined the team, the goal was always to build something that could carry into the future and I’m excited to be part of the team as we enter the GEN4 era. Felipe Drugovich, Andretti Formula E Team.
