Over the past eight seasons, the title partnership has provided a growth platform for ABB to showcase how technology can help industries outrun, engage with customers around the world, and implement its own solutions into the series to improve reliability and efficiency.
This will now be built upon to ensure the partnership provides a year-round opportunity for brand-building and activation, communicating ABB and its technology solutions to new global audiences, including Formula E’s global fanbase.

ABB and Formula E will also work together to engage a new generation of fans, collaborating with unexpected influencers and content creators to tell compelling stories which make advanced electrification and automation technologies tangible and exciting.

“Formula E is increasingly working with content creators, influencers and celebrities, with initiatives such as the Evo Sessions making an impact through digital channels beyond the racing itself, which is also an essential part of ABB’s new brand strategy.
“Going forwards, we will be enhancing the way we harness the benefits of this collaboration, ensuring the focus is on delivering content and activations which reinforce our new messaging, build familiarity, and tell the “Engineered to Outrun” story.”

“This next chapter elevates the partnership even further. With ABB’s new positioning, we are co-creating opportunities across content, digital storytelling, and market engagement, transforming a title partnership into a year-round, value-generating relationship. It’s a model of how modern sponsorships should evolve, rooted in purpose and cultural alignment, but measured by impact.”
Since the partnership began in January 2018, the series has repeatedly demonstrated its capacity to showcase the benefits of significant technological development. The end of the mid-race car swap, a 150kW increase in power, top speeds that are 43 percent higher, and energy recovery increasing from 15 to 50 percent all being indicative of the extent to which Formula E technology has continued to outperform on-and off-track.
During this period, ABB has also continued to build on its technical involvement in the series, supplying the race chargers from Season 9, and introducing its ABB Ability OPTIMAX® energy management software (Season 9) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) technology (Season 5) to the sport.
