Per Nissan, its partnership with Alpine Tech has been a key factor in the squad's journey across the GEN3 era.

The Boulogne-Billancourt-headquartered company assisted the development of the Nissan e‑4ORCE 05 Formula E powertrain through a very synergetic partnership and has helped the Nissan Formula E Team to win six races and the Season 11 Drivers' World Championship with the British driver Rowland.

Further, the two companies have also collaborated closely in the development of young racers, with several of Nissan Formula E Team’s rookie drivers having a pre-existing relationship with Alpine.

“At Alpine Tech, we continue to build on the expertise developed through many years at the highest level of motorsport, including Formula 1 and endurance racing. Together with Nissan Formula E Team, we have exceptional engineering ability, and applying our know-how to new projects through consultancy and technology services is a key priority for us. This partnership with the Nissan Formula E Team is a perfect example of the optimization of talent and expertise. It showcases how two highly competitive organizations like Alpine Tech and Nissan Formula E Team can combine their efforts to push the boundaries of efficiency and power density, developing the highest-performing electric powertrains in the world,” Alpine Tech Vice President Axel Plasse commented.
