UNINTERRUPTED POWER IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ABB

The Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY has announced that it is ABB's Official Charging Partner. ABB will offer custom-built compact Terra fast chargers for the series. The eTROPHY series will begin in December 2018 to become the main supporter of this season's ten races in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship.

 Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY has announced that it has signed with leading technology leader ABB to serve as the Official Charging Partner of the new Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY series. As part of this partnership, ABB will provide custom-made compact fast chargers to each of the participating teams in this new electric racing series. Terra DC fast chargers are specifically designed for the series and can quickly charge Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY race cars during warm-ups, qualifying and short breaks between races. The compact design allows chargers to be easily transported for 10 races and that shipping costs are kept to a minimum. The partnership supports ABB's role as the main sponsor of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. It is a key indicator of the company's vision to support and expand the future of e-mobility.

 The Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY is the world's first fully electric, production-based racing series. It will take place on the same weekends as the ABB FIA Formula E racing series and on the same city streets. The series, which includes 20 Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY race cars, will offer participating teams the chance to demonstrate their racing skills and performance, as well as the opportunity to compete on the zero-emission motorsport world stage.

 Marion Barnaby, Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY Championship Manager, said: "We are excited to announce ABB as the Official Charging Partner of the Championship at the opening ceremony of the fast-approaching Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY season. ABB's ability to bring innovation and technology leadership into the racing series will be treasured by making history by supporting the world's first all-electric production car infrastructure."

Tarak Mehta, head of ABB's Electrification Products division, said: "At ABB, we are proud to guide and support e-mobility pioneers. The partnership with the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY supports our position at the top of the top of the latest electrification and digital technologies. Our groundbreaking pioneering charging solutions, including Terra HP that can charge a car in minutes, are helping to shape the exciting future of e-mobility."

 ABB's groundbreaking Terra HP fast charger fills the electric vehicle in eight minutes, enabling a 200 km (125 mi) uninterrupted ride, which is approximately equal to the time it takes to fill a tank at a gas station. ABB, the world leader in electric vehicle infrastructure, provides complete charging solutions for electric cars and electric and hybrid buses, as well as for ships and railways electrification solutions. ABB entered the EV charging market in 2010. Today, it has over 8000 products, including high-power chargers up to 350 kW installed in 68 countries. Fortune Magazine recently ranked ABB #8 on its list of companies that are "changing the world" for their advances in e-mobility and electric vehicle (EV) charging.
