Mouser Electronics, Molex, TTI and Kyocera AVX are gearing up to sponsor the 2024 DS Penske Formula E racing team as they begin Season 10 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez track in Mexico City on January 13.
In collaboration with TTI and manufacturers Molex and Kyocera AVX, Mouser is sponsoring the team throughout the 2024 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship racing season.
The Formula E series features cars that are powered solely by electricity and represent a vision for the future of the motorsports industry, serving as a framework for research and development around zero-emission motoring.
Racing is all about speed and endurance, and racing partnerships are an innovative way for Mouser, Molex, TTI and Kyocera AVX to promote the newest technologies.
"Mouser is thrilled to continue our support of the DS Penske Formula E team," said Todd McAtee, senior vice president, business development, for Mouser Electronics. "This exciting sport is paving the way for technological advancements in the transportation industry. Racing is all about speed and endurance, and racing partnerships are an innovative way for us to communicate our performance-driven business model."
TTI is equally excited. "TTI is pleased to team up again with Mouser to support DS Penske and promote this dynamic sport and its focus on sustainable automotive technologies of tomorrow," said Mike Morton, TTI chief executive officer. "We will be cheering on the team and watching with anticipation."
Fred Bell, Molex’s vice president of global distribution is anticipating a season of excitement. "Mouser and Molex have been proud supporters since the inception of Formula E, and we wish the DS Penske team a successful season. Looking forward to a winning year ahead," he said.
"What an outstanding partnership," said Alex Schenkel, Kyocera AVX's senior vice president of global sales. “We're hoping for another exciting season and look forward to collaborating with Mouser and TTI in our support of the DS Penske Formula E racing team for 2024.”
The DS Penske team will be racing the third-generation Formula E DS E-TENSE FE23, which combines high performance with efficiency and stability. The all-electric cars feature a top speed of 280 kph and are 60 kg lighter than previous generations.
Mexico City is one of the fastest tracks on the racing calendar, featuring a combination of long and fast straights with a technical infield section through Foro Sol stadium. The 2024 Formula E racing schedule includes visits to Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Japan, Italy, Monaco, Germany, China, United States and United Kingdom.
The team has two past Formula E champions driving its cars: 2022 world champion Stoffel Vandoorne and the only two-time Formula E champion, Jean-Éric Vergne.
