Jaguar has signed a new multi-year customer deal with Envision Racing to supply its new powertrain technology

Jaguar has signed a new multi-year customer supply deal with Envision Racing which will begin at the launch of the 2022/23 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season. As per the agreement, Jaguar will supply Envision Racing with its new powertrain technology for the lighter, more powerful and more efficient Gen3 Formula E race car. For those asking, the new generation of Formula E is the sport’s third-generation all-electric racing car. Jaguar also has its own race winning factory team, Jaguar TCS 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. James Barclay, Managing Director at Jaguar Land Rover Motorsport said: “We are pleased to announce that we will supply Envision Racing with our Jaguar Formula E powertrain in Gen3. 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 Sylvain and all of the Envision Racing team - they are an ideal customer team for Jaguar."

Together, Envision Racing and Jaguar TCS Racing have 15 wins and more than 40 podiums between them so collaborating and sharing technical expertise of both camps is seen to be a winning formula. Jaguar will become an all-electric luxury brand from 2025 as part of the company’s Reimagine strategy. 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 will be able to optimize 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,” added Barclay.
