Alliance Driving Clean Mobility

Since January 2018, Swiss industrial group ABB has been engaged as Title Partner of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the world’s first all-electric single-seater racing series sanctioned by the FIA. This marked a global first in the history of motorsport.


A Partnership Rooted in a Shared Vision:
ABB, a global leader in electrification, automation, and digital technologies, and Formula E, a high-level electric racing platform, share a clear ambition: to accelerate the transition toward clean and sustainable mobility.
• Electrification & innovation: The championship serves as a real-world technology testbed, enabling solutions developed on the track to be transferred to everyday applications—from transport infrastructure to smart cities.
• Global engagement: With races held in iconic cities around the world, Formula E provides ABB with a unique platform to demonstrate the power, reliability, and efficiency of its electrification technologies in demanding environments.


Charging Solutions for Electric Race Cars over the seasons, the collaboration has evolved well beyond sponsorship:
• Official Charging Partner: Since Season 9, ABB has been the Official Charging Partner of the championship.
• Cutting-edge technology for Gen3 cars: ABB designs robust, portable charging units capable of charging two cars simultaneously at up to 160 kW, tailored to the needs of a global, traveling championship.
• Partnership extended to 2030: The agreement has recently been renewed, confirming ABB’s long-term commitment to delivering charging solutions and supporting the technical evolution of the series.


A Platform for Sustainability and Social Impact beyond technology, ABB and Formula E collaborate on broader social initiatives:
• “FIA Girls on Track – ABB Formula E” program: ABB is a global partner of this initiative, which aims to inspire young women to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and to engage with the worlds of electric mobility and engineering.


Strategic Value for ABB, this partnership represents far more than sporting visibility:
• A global technology showcase: Formula E highlights the real-world application of ABB’s technologies in a high-performance, low-carbon environment.
• Brand positioning and leadership: Through innovative marketing activations and compelling stories around electrification, ABB strengthens its global brand strategy and reinforces its leadership in clean technology.


The partnership between ABB and the FIA Formula E World Championship is a long-term strategic alliance built on shared values: technological innovation, transport electrification, environmental sustainability, and social engagement. It is not merely a motorsport sponsorship, but a global technology platform helping to shape the future of electric mobility while reinforcing ABB’s position as a world leader in intelligent electrification.
