Dow and Jaguar TCS Racing bring the power of MobilityScience to Season 9 of ABB FIA Formula E World Championship

Midland, MI – Dow and partner Jaguar TCS Racing are geared up for the Mexico City E-Prix to kick-off Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

Dow has been the Official Materials Science Partner to the team since 2021, with initial collaborations beginning in 2020, helping Jaguar TCS Racing push the boundaries of electric vehicle (EV) innovation through collaboration. The 2023 season is pushing the pedal down on that innovation with the introduction of the Gen3 racecar, which made its Formula E race debut in Mexico City this past weekend.

“With every new generation of the Formula E racecar, the sport is engineering beyond the boundaries of what we consider possible for electric vehicles, especially in terms of power,” said Tim Boven, Commercial Vice President, Dow MobilityScience™. “The same goes for our materials. Our MobilityScience™ team is committed to engineering solutions that drive low carbon mobility, and the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 racecar provides the perfect testbed to develop innovative solutions.”

Dow’s partnership with Jaguar TCS Racing provides a high-throughput laboratory to continually test and perfect the mobility solutions that will help unlock new levels of sustainability and performance for automotive customers around the world.

Dow will welcomed key stakeholders to the storied Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez track, as well as parallel events, to catalyze conversations on the future of low carbon mobility – a topic the Latin American region is intently focused on. From 2021 to 2022, electric vehicle sales in Mexico increased by about 204%, and there is still huge growth potential, as Mexico globally ranks seventh overall in vehicle manufacturers and fifth in auto parts manufacturers.

“Dow is in pursuit of being the most innovative, inclusive, sustainable, and customer-centric materials science company in the world, and collaborations with like-minded partners are crucial to that effort,” said Verónica Pérez, Dow North Region of Latin America President. “Our partnership with Jaguar TCS Racing is helping us not only to further our commitment to sustainability but also to advance conversations around EV innovation in Latin America and share the power and possibilities of MobilityScience™ solutions.”

Dow builds on 100+ years of transportation experience and expertise in application development to deliver innovative, cutting-edge solutions that keep the world moving. Its MobilityScience™ team provides OEMs and Tiers with a seamless and collaborative global partner for materials innovation through access to world-class technical capabilities and a broad portfolio of materials science solutions for the industry. Dow is committed to the future of mobility and is addressing the most pressing mobility challenges like de-carbonization and improving EV performance.
