Formula E has signed a sustainability-focused deal with global energy solutions provider Aggreko.
Contract:
- Aggreko becomes an official provider of Formula E
- The company will ensure events are powered via renewable energy such as biofuel generators, solar arrays, and the latest battery technology
- Formula E is targeting an emissions reductions target of 45 per cent across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2030
Context:
Aggreko will be supplying six 300kVA batteries to charge all Formula E cars, as well as varying battery sizes to power the overall circuit at race locations. These are backed up via Stage V Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) powered generators, which emit 90 per cent less CO2 emissions.
Comment:
Tiziana di Gioia, chief revenue officer of Formula E, said: “Aggreko is a trusted supplier and expert in forward thinking and sustainable temporary energy solutions, so we’re thrilled to have it on board as an official provider of the championship. It is vital to us in not just having the correct power to deliver our unique events, but done so in the most sustainable methods possible; something that Aggreko is a true leader and pioneer in.”
