Jaguar Land Rover commits to Gen3 era of Formula E

Jaguar Racing’s race-winning motorsport operation will help Jaguar Land Rover develop new sustainable technologies and set new benchmarks in quality with its partners, and support Jaguar’s renaissance as an all-electric luxury brand from 2025.

The Formula E programme will contribute to Jaguar Land Rover’s Reimagine strategy - a commitment to achieve zero tailpipe emissions by 2036, and net zero status across supply chain, operators, and products by 2039.

Jaguar Racing will also extend its successful long-term technical partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering into the Gen3 era of Formula E.
