From racing cars, to road cars
We have a long history of harnessing the fast-paced nature of motorsport, and its extreme technological demands, to help drive innovation in technologies for cars on the road.
Our history in motorsport
We started working in motorsport over 70 years ago, supplying driveline components, technical expertise and software technology. From rally cars to Formula E, we have a long history of working with racing teams to bring winning solutions to the track.
Solving the range anxiety problem
Range anxiety is a common concern for drivers as the world increasingly transitions to electrified vehicles. We have worked with Jaguar TCS Racing to develop more efficient powertrains that enable drivers to build and maintain high speeds for a longer period of time. Our work here has helped to accelerate our development of these technologies for road cars.
Putting vehicles to the test
Our testing facilities enable us to test and develop eDrive systems up to 1000V and 250kW, simulating realistic on-track driving conditions. Using these in-house developed facilities, we have supported Jaguar TCS Racing with complete powertrain testing, and thoroughly tested bespoke technologies for vehicles on the road.
Driving our technology roadmap through motorsport
We are focused on developing state-of-the-art technology that drives a more sustainable future. Our Innovation Centre in Abingdon, UK, plays a vital role in driving our innovation roadmap via key university partnerships and through our involvement in motorsports that helps us to push boundaries and transfer these learnings to road cars.
