YOKOHAMA, Japan – Nissan Formula E Team is delighted to announce a renewal of its sponsorship agreement with long-standing partner Alpine Tech for the remainder of Season 12 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, to include branding on the Japanese outfit's racecars and drivers' overalls.
Nissan Formula E Team's existing partnership with Alpine Tech has been a key factor in the squad's journey across the GEN3 era. The French manufacturer has assisted the development of the Nissan e‑4ORCE 05 Formula E powertrain through a very synergetic partnership and has helped Nissan Formula E Team to win six races and the Season 11 Drivers' World Championship with Oliver Rowland. In addition, the two companies have also collaborated closely in the development of young racers, with several of Nissan Formula E Team's rookie drivers having a pre-existing relationship with Alpine.
To celebrate this long-lasting collaboration, the Alpine Tech logo will appear on the inside of the rear wing end plates on both the #1 and #23 Nissan e‑4ORCE 05 cars from this weekend's Madrid E-Prix. The brand's logo will also feature on the drivers' race suits.
Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: "We're very happy to showcase the Alpine Tech brand for the remainder of the GEN3 season, as our partnership and collaboration has been key to our success in this era of Formula E. We're excited to continue working with Alpine Tech, our relationship is a broad one with several different touchpoints, making their support very valuable."
Axel Plasse, VP Alpine Tech: "At Alpine Tech, we continue to build on the expertise developed through many years at the highest level of motorsport including Formula 1 and endurance racing. Together with Nissan Formula E Team, we have exceptional engineering ability and applying our know-how to new projects through consultancy and technology services is a key priority for us. This partnership with Nissan Formula E Team is a perfect example of optimization of talent and expertise. It showcases how two highly competitive organizations like Alpine Tech and Nissan Formula E Team can combine their efforts to push the boundaries of efficiency and power density, developing the highest-performing electric powertrains in the world."
