Electric and hybrid powertrains have been making their mark on the racing scene for years and are redefining the future of motorsport. Formula E engines are a prime example of how powerful and sustainable electric powertrains can be.
Forecasts for 2030 suggest that up to 80% of all new cars produced worldwide will be electrified, with a significant proportion being fully electric or hybrid. The traditional internal combustion engine is expected to recede further into the background.

 

In motorsport, the continuous optimisation of electric motors is crucial. High efficiency and maximum performance are key requirements, supported by advanced power electronics systems. In addition to high-performance battery technology, thermal management is a key component. Controlling heat flows ensures that electric motors, such as those inspired by the Formula E engine, can deliver consistent top performance even under extreme conditions. Innovations and technologies developed in motorsport – tested and refined in Formula E and hybrid electric applications such as Formula 1 – are directly influencing the design of electric vehicles for the mass market.
