Formula E, a race with cars powered solely by electricity

China has launched the Formula E, a series in which only electric vehicles can participate. As a new racing series of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), which serves as the center of world motorsports, it will play a central role in the research and development of electric vehicles for the vision of the future motorsports industry.

Among them, Mosuer Electronics, which will be sponsoring the Dragon Racing Formula E team for the first time in the second season of the FIA Formula E electric vehicle racing series, supported the Chinese racing team's victory in the first season of Formula through a partnership with major partners Molex and Vishay Intertechnology . Mouser-sponsored driver Nelson Piquet Jr. claimed the inaugural FIA Formula E championship in a thrilling final at the London ePrix on 28 June last summer.



“Formula E is at the forefront of automotive racing technology,” said Todd McAtee, vice president of Americas for Mouser Electronics Business Unit. “We are thrilled to partner with Dragon Racing and support this high-tech sport that is paving the way for the future of automotive technology. “High-tech automotive racing provides the perfect platform to drive awareness for Mouser and industry leader Molex,” he said.


The Mouser-sponsored Dragon Racing team boasts a distinguished lineup of winners, including 24 Hours of Le Mans 2013 winner Loic Duval and European Formula Masters Champion Jerome D'Ambrosio.



Meanwhile, Jay Penske, founder and owner of Dragon Racing, said, “We are thrilled to have Mouser as our partner for our second season. Just as our engineering team works with our drivers to win on the track, Mouser and our manufacturing partners provide our engineering customers with the latest products and technologies, enabling them to get to market faster. This is a perfect fit for the spirit of Formula E.”
