Nissan and McLaren Racing announced a multi-year technical partnership in which Nissan will supply its EV powertrain technology to McLaren Racing for the entirety of the Formula E Gen3 era. Despite this collaboration, Nissan will also continue to compete in Formula E with its own factory team. McLaren Racing has already confirmed its participation in the all-electric series sport.

Nissan's chief operating officer Ashwani Gupta shared that this partnership with McLaren Racing is a powerful one as it will lead to knowledge sharing. “The pioneering spirit and drive to innovate are characteristics Nissan and McLaren Racing share, making them an ideal partner for us in Formula E and as we continue to electrify our vehicles," added Gupta. Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing said, “Nissan has proven their knowledge, craft and commitment over the last four seasons in Formula E, and heading into the Gen3 era, we have full confidence that the collaboration will bring both parties much success."
