马勒进军电动方程式

• 马勒是HWA RACELAB团队的正式合作伙伴和赞助商，而后者是著名的梅赛德斯AMG赛车部德国房车大师赛车队背后的推动力量
• 双方的合作凸显和巩固了马勒在电动交通领域的领先地位

The fusion of experience and pioneering development is something MAHLE and HWA have in common: HWA is the most successful team in the history of the German Touring Masters (DTM) and a promising newcomer to Formula E. MAHLE plays a major role as a forerunner in efficient combustion engines and is an enabler and innovation driver in the area of e-mobility.

“Through our commitment to Formula E, we are also applying MAHLE’s dual corporate strategy to motorsports. We want to offer sustainable solutions and innovations in the area of e-mobility,” explains Dr. Jörg Stratmann, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of the MAHLE Group. MAHLE develops and produces solutions for electrically powered vehicles worldwide, with a broad product portfolio that covers the powertrain, thermal management, power electronics, filtration, and interior air conditioning.

MAHLE Motorsports has been a developer and systems partner on the international motorsports scene—including Formula 1, DTM, MotoGP, and NASCAR—for many decades. MAHLE is now continuing this success story with its entry into Formula E. “MAHLE Motorsports has been well known in the industry as a strong development partner since the very beginning of motorsports. We consider ourselves active drivers of innovation—at the highest level,” states Fred Türk, Vice President MAHLE Motorsports.
