NISSAN has announced its commitment to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship until at least 2030, reinforcing its Ambition 2030 electrification plans.
From Season 13 (2026/27) to Season 16 (2029/30), FE’s GEN4 technology will be the most advanced yet, cementing the series’ status as the world’s most innovative laboratory for electric mobility solutions.
Nissan Formula E Team managing director and team principal Tommaso Volpe signed the official registration document for car manufacturers in the FIA Formula E World Championship for Seasons 13 (2026/27) to 16 (2029/30).
He was present with FIA Senior Circuit Sport Director Marek Nawarecki and FE Chief Executive Officer Jeff Dodds.
The agreement ratifies Nissan’s commitment as a manufacturer to GEN4 of the sport, becoming the first constructor confirmed to take part in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship until 2030.
“We’re extremely pleased to continue our involvement in Formula E until 2030. In addition to bringing excitement and an on-track spectacle to our fans, our participation in the series will make a significant contribution to our electrification goals set out in our Ambition 2030 plans,” said Makoto Uchida, CEO, Nissan Motor Corporation.
“The technological breakthroughs that we make on the track will provide great insights to the development of our future products. We’re excited to see the future of electric racing unfold and to keep working towards a sustainable world for everyone.”

“I’m delighted to confirm our long-term future in Formula E as a manufacturer. We’re also proud to be the first company to sign up until 2030, which is a big year for Nissan as we aim to match or exceed the targets set out in our Ambition 2030 pledge,” said Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team.

It not only helps us promote the series to a wider and more diverse audience but also contributes enormously to promote EV technology worldwide,” Dodds said.
