Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
- One of Formula E’s founding teams, Mahindra #racing has been on the grid since the inaugural race in 2014 and now becomes the first team and manufacturer to commit to Gen3 from 2022.
- Indian manufacturer Mahindra endorses Gen3 as proving ground for future race-to-road electric vehicle and sustainable mobility technologies.
- Gen3 marks new era of #abbfiaformulaeworldchampionship with performance and efficiency advances including more powerful, lighter cars, faster charging and cost controls.
Valencia, #spain (November 30, 2020) - Mahindra #racing today announced its commitment to the Gen3 era of the #abbfiaformulaeworldchampionship, becoming the first #automotive manufacturer to sign up for the generation that commences with the 2022/23 season.
As #formulae begins its first season as an FIA World Championship, Indian manufacturer Mahindra has reaffirmed its strong, long-term relationship by committing to the #formulae Gen3 era, starting in 2022. The Mahindra Group aims to put half a million electric vehicles on Indian roads by 2025 and believes in Formula E’s ongoing role as an essential proving ground for future race-to-road electric vehicle and sustainable mobility technologies.
One of Formula E’s founding teams - and the only Indian manufacturer - Mahindra #racing has so far claimed four E-Prix victories, 18 podiums, and 690 championship points, making them one of the most consistent and respected outfits on the grid. The team is committed to pushing the limits of technology and innovation in the electric vehicle space and addressing the impact of climate change. Mahindra #racing was the first #formulae team to be awarded the FIA Environmental Accreditation Three-Star rating, demonstrating excellence in sustainability practices.
Gen3 marks a new era of performance and efficiency benefits including more powerful, lighter cars, faster charging and cost controls, all with the aim of increasing the intense and unpredictable #racing #formulae has become known for.
The first and only sport to be net zero carbon from inception, #formulae exists to accelerate sustainable human progress through the power of electric #racing. Electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure have evolved significantly since Gen1 took to the streets of the world’s most iconic cities. This rapid development highlights how quickly the sustainable mobility technologies critical to counteracting climate change are advancing.
The work that #formulae and the FIA have done together to shape the Gen3 era focuses on delivering a new generation of progress, reaffirming Formula E’s position as the pinnacle of electric #racing while increasing road relevance for manufacturers even further. Gen3 will bring with it performance and efficiency advances including more powerful, lighter cars, faster charging and cost controls.
The #abbfiaformulaeworldchampionship is currently testing in #valencia ahead of its Season Seven debut in Santiago, Chile in January with two races each staged at 19:00 CET (15:00 local time) on January 16 and 17.

We are confident that Mahindra Racing’s work on and off track with the Gen3 car will resonate and provide thrilling experiences to fans and consumers alike."
CEO AND TEAM PRINCIPAL OF MAHINDRA #racing - DILBAGH GILL
"By committing early to Gen3 Mahindra #racing is continuing its journey, which it started by becoming the first OEM to sign up to the championship back in 2013. As the greenest team in motorsport, #formulae is the perfect home for us; a place where we can demonstrate our performance and sustainability credentials both on and off the track. Our future focus is on race winning performances that we can all be proud of and some exciting new projects in the engineering services space.
