Stellantis N.V., a major player in the automotive industry, has recently announced a strategic collaboration through its racing division, Stellantis Motorsport, with Intel Automotive—an affiliate of the renowned chip manufacturer, Intel Corp. This partnership is focused on advancing Formula E technologies within the electric motorsport arena.
The agreement outlines a joint effort to hasten the development of key technologies tailored to Formula E, a prominent series in electric racing. Stellantis Motorsport, which has been actively participating in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship alongside DS Automobiles since 2015 and Maserati since 2022, aims to drive innovation in electric technology.
Stellantis has chosen Intel as a pivotal technical partner to aid in the creation of their next-generation inverter control system. This critical component is essential for the performance of GEN3 Evo single-seaters from DS Automobiles and Maserati.
The inverter's role is vital during a Formula E race, as enhancing its efficiency can provide a significant competitive edge. Responsible for regulating the electric motor using the battery's energy, it also plays a key part in energy recovery during braking.
According to Stellantis, the new inverter control system utilizes Intel’s cutting-edge semiconductor technology and software proficiency, thereby optimizing power delivery and improving overall vehicle performance.
Jack Weast, an Intel Fellow and Vice President/General Manager of Intel Automotive, expressed that, "Formula E serves as a highly competitive testing ground for electric vehicle technology. Our collaboration with Stellantis Motorsport enables us to push the boundaries of performance and efficiency within a challenging real-world setting. This effort ultimately fosters innovation that will benefit the future of electric vehicles on a broader scale."
