Dow has announced the extension of its partnership with Jaguar TCS Racing, reinforcing its commitment to advancing sustainable mobility through materials science innovation. The announcement came ahead of Jaguar TCS Racing’s milestone 100th race in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship at the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix on March 30, showcasing the team’s shared commitment and passion with Dow for pursuing electric vehicle (EV) innovation from the race track to the road.
The two teams began collaborating in 2020 with Dow becoming the team’s Official Materials Science Partner shortly thereafter. Through the extended partnership, Dow MobilityScience™ and Jaguar TCS Racing engineers will continue to work together to integrate next-gen materials that will advance the performance and efficiency of the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 electric race car. Dow continues to work with Jaguar TCS Racing on several primary areas of focus including Thermal Management, Adhesion and EMI (electromagnetic interference).
“Collaboration stands as the cornerstone for forging a sustainable automotive future. From our partnership with Jaguar TCS Racing, to our growing number of technical partnerships with OEMs beyond the sporting arena, it’s evident that aligning with the entire automotive supply chain is the fastest way to realizing a future where mobility is safer, smarter and more efficient.” – JON PENRICE, DOW MOBILITYSCIENCE™ PRESIDENT
