JAGUAR RETURNS TO RACING

JAGUAR RETURNS TO RACING

Date: 2015-12-25
Jaguar recently announced its return to global motorsport. In the autumn of 2016, Jaguar will enter the third season of the exciting FIA Formula EChampionship as a manufacturer with its own team. FIA Formula E is the world's first global single-seater championship for electric powered cars.

FIA Formula E offers a unique opportunity for Jaguar Land Rover to further the development of future EV powertrain including motor and battery technology.

"I am proud to announce Jaguar's return to racing with an entry into the innovative FIA Formula E championship," said Nick Rogers, Group Engineering Director for Jaguar Land Rover. "Electric vehicles will absolutely play a role in Jaguar Land Rover's future product portfolio and Formula E will give us a unique opportunity to further our development of electrification technologies. The Championship willenable us to engineer and test our advanced technologies under extreme performance conditions."

"It is my belief that overthe next five years we will see more changes in the automotive world than in the last three decades. The future is about being more connected and more sustainable; electrification and lightweight technologies are becoming more important than ever as urbanisation continues to increase. Formula E has recognised and reacted to these trends and the championship's exciting and pioneering approach is the perfect fit for our brand," said Rogers.

Jaguar Land Rover employs over 8,000 engineers and is the UK's largest investor in research and development across any business sector. Jaguar's Formula E team will be able to draw upon this industry leading resource with Jaguar Land Rover engineers working closely with the race operations team.
