Shell, Nissan Formula E Team renew technical partnership

MANILA: The Nissan Formula E Team and Shell have renewed their long-standing technical partnership to further develop bespoke fluids for on-track and on-road electric vehicles (EV). 

The partnership, which began in 2018, has resulted in the development and eventual deployment of Shell EV-Plus E-Transmission and E-Thermal fluids for the previous Formula E Seasons 11 and 12. The aforementioned line of EV fluids was also launched by the lubricants company back in 2019 for passenger vehicles. 

“We are proud to renew our partnership with Nissan Formula E team as its strategic technical partner and exclusive supplier of lubricants. This technical partnership with Nissan Formula E Team is a testament to Shell’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of EV performance,” Shell Lubricants Vice President of New Business Development and Global Key Accounts Aysus Akik said. 

“This partnership embodies our shared commitment to decarbonization and push the limit of efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. The development of our Shell EV-Plus fluids has been driven by the extreme demands of Formula E, allowing us to innovate and deliver cutting-edge lubricant technology that enhances both on-track performance and the development of electrified mobility solutions for the road,” Akik added. 

According to Nissan, the renewed technical collaboration between its Formula E team and Shell will further enhance research and development efforts to make EV fluids more efficient and sustainable. 

The all-electric racing series, as pointed out by Aysus Akik, after all, is the perfect ground to test the latest advancements in lubricant solutions, where wheel-to-wheel racing pushes thermal management to its extreme limits.
