Japanese OEM to compete in the all-electric FIA World Championship until at least 2030
Nissan announced its commitment to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship until at least 2030, reinforcing its Ambition 2030 electrification plans. Running from Season 13 (2026/27) to Season 16 (2029/30), Formula E’s GEN4 technology will be the most advanced yet, and is set to continue the series’ status as the world’s most innovative laboratory for electric mobility solutions.
During a press conference held in Tokyo ahead of the first ever Formula E race in Japan, Nissan Formula E Team managing director and team principal Tommaso Volpe signed the official registration document for car manufacturers in the FIA Formula E World Championship for Seasons 13 (2026/27) to 16 (2029/30), together with FIA Senior Circuit Sport Director Marek Nawarecki and in the presence of Formula E Chief Executive Officer Jeff Dodds. The agreement ratifies Nissan’s commitment as a manufacturer to GEN4 of the sport, becoming the first constructor confirmed to take part in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship until 2030.
This decision will see Nissan’s involvement in Formula E stretch to at least 12 years, making it the company’s longest ever motorsport commitment to an FIA World Championship.
포뮬러 E는 닛산이 전기차 기술을 개발하고 가장 치열한 경쟁에서 자신을 시험할 수 있는 완벽한 환경을 제공하므로, 이번 계약은 진정한 전기 자동차 제조업체가 되기 위한 장기 계획인 닛산의 앰비션 2030을 향한 또 하나의 이정표가 될 것입니다. 이 프로그램은 전기화를 회사의 장기 전략의 핵심으로 삼고 있으며, 닛산은 2024 회계연도와 2030 회계연도 사이에 모든 세그먼트를 아우르는 34개의 전기화 모델을 출시할 예정이며, 전기화 차량의 모델 구성은 2026 회계연도까지 전 세계적으로 40%를 차지하고 10년 말까지 60%로 늘어날 것으로 예상됩니다.
Nissan’s involvement in the next generation of Formula E reaffirms its commitment to pioneering sustainable racing, aligning with its broader environmental goals. GEN4 technology will include cutting-edge features, such as enhanced energy efficiency with a regeneration capacity up to 700kW, an increased power output up to 600kW, and safety innovations, representing a significant step forward in electric vehicle racing technology. Nissan, the FIA and Formula E share the same vision regarding electrification, making this agreement a significant milestone and a natural next step for the future of electric motorsport.
Since joining the sport ahead of Season 5, Nissan has been dedicated to continuously growing its Formula E operations as it strives for further success. This includes the recent move of the Nissan Formula E Team headquarters to the Paris area, which has allowed access to the best facilities possible.
As a global brand, Nissan operates in every country on the current Formula E calendar and uses the series to promote EV technology across the world. In addition, Nissan also has several Research & Development centers across 16 markets, multiple production plants in 13 markets, and design studios in 5 markets, supporting the major presence the brand has in the territories visited by the series. Committing to Formula E until 2030 is proof of how important this FIA World Championship is to Nissan worldwide and the role it plays in the company’s commitment to make electric vehicles accessible to everyone, everywhere, and to a cleaner, safer, and more inclusive world.
Makoto Uchida, CEO, Nissan Motor Corporation: “We’re extremely pleased to continue our involvement in Formula E until 2030. In addition to bringing excitement and an on-track spectacle to our fans, our participation in the series will make a significant contribution to our electrification goals set out in our Ambition 2030 plans. The technological breakthroughs that we make on the track will provide great insights to the development of our future products. We’re excited to see the future of electric racing unfold and to keep working towards a sustainable world for everyone.”
토마소 볼페, 닛산 포뮬러 E 팀 매니징 디렉터 겸 팀장: "포뮬러 E에서 제조업체로서 우리의 장기적인 미래를 확인하게 되어 기쁩니다. 또한, 닛산에게 중요한 해인 2030년까지 참가하는 첫 번째 기업이 된 것을 자랑스럽게 생각하며, 이는 앰비션 2030 서약에 명시된 목표와 일치하거나 초과하는 것을 목표로 하는 닛산에게 매우 중요한 해입니다. 포뮬러 E는 새로운 전기 기술을 위한 놀라운 시험대이며, 적어도 시즌 16이 끝날 때까지 계속해서 개발하고 경쟁할 수 있기를 기대합니다. 팀은 상승세를 타고 있으며, 새로운 본사는 향후 시즌을 위한 차량 개발에 도움이 되는 첨단 시설을 갖추고 있어 미래 성장에 크게 기여할 것입니다. 포뮬러 E 오퍼레이션과 FIA의 지원에 큰 감사를 드리며, 앞으로도 함께 일할 수 있게 되어 매우 기쁩니다."
Jeff Dodds, CEO, Formula E: “We’re very happy at Formula E to see Nissan extending their involvement in the series until 2030. Nissan shares our values of promoting sustainability around the world, striving for the best automotive performance through electric solutions. Having a truly global brand like Nissan, with great presence in every country we visit and beyond, is vital for us as a truly global championship. It not only helps us promote the series to a wider and more diverse audience, but also contributes enormously to promote EV technology worldwide. Nissan is a highly respected manufacturer that is perfectly aligned with our goals and values, and we’re excited to see the role the marque will play in the bright future ahead of us.”
Marek Nawarecki, FIA Senior Circuit Sport Director: “We’re delighted to have Nissan on board as a manufacturer in Formula E until 2030. We’re very excited for the next phase of our only all-electric FIA World Championship. The technology involved in Formula E is developing quickly, and we’re proud to see the championship growing. This is testament to the enduring relevance for manufacturers of the road map implemented, and we are confident that this commitment heralds a bright new era of Formula E.”
