Panasonic Jaguar Racing has been awarded the first Climate Champion Award at the end of season ABB FIA Formula E Championship awards ceremony which took place in New York last night.
The judges highlighted that Panasonic Jaguar Racing has shown a clear race‑to‑road technological transfer with the official support series to the championship, the Jaguar I‑PACE eTROPHY. The game‑changing all‑electric performance SUV has been modified specifically for the track, but those watching from the grandstands and on TV can purchase the Jaguar I‑PACE, demonstrating the rapid advancements of electric vehicle technology.
The Jaguar I‑PACE pioneered the move to a vision of a clean, safe and sustainable future and is at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution. What the Panasonic Jaguar Racing team learn on the track will directly benefit Jaguar’s future electric vehicles. They will feature innovative technologies, improved performance and be even more efficient. Jaguar’s move towards Destination Zero (zero emissions, zero accidents and zero congestion) will safeguard the future of motorsport, mobility and the planet. We are incredibly proud to be the first recipient of the Climate Champion Award.
