Marelli has joined the Nissan Formula E team as a technical partner in an initial two-year agreement. Marelli branding will appear on the rear wing of both Nissan e-4ORCE 05 cars, the team’s garage walls and marketing platforms.
Thanks to Marelli Motorsport’s extensive exposure, the partnership gives the Nissan Formula E team the opportunity to explore ways to support car development for future seasons. The company has an established track record in innovation and manufacturing and is looking to leverage its technical expertise in electrified motorsport.
Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal of the Nissan Formula E team, said, “We’re very proud to be teaming up with Marelli Motorsport, a leader in the industry. It’s fantastic to have them on board and we look forward to investigating areas for potential collaboration on control systems development. The championship is extremely competitive, so it is important for us to ensure we are partnering with the best companies, and we believe Marelli Motorsport fits this perfectly.”
Riccardo De Filippi, head of Marelli Motorsport, added, “We’re excited to expand our long-term technical partnership with Nissan Motor Company into its Formula E program, also proudly displaying the Marelli logo on the rear wing of both cars. We’re looking forward to working closely with the team, strengthening our relationship with Nissan in both the motorsport and road car markets, and we’re eager to enhance our technical contributions moving forward.”
