Involved in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with DS Automobiles since 2015 and Maserati since 2022, Stellantis Motorsport is constantly seeking innovation in electric technology.
To accelerate the development of technologies specific to Formula E and continue its success in the electric series, the Stellantis Group’s racing division has decided to collaborate with Intel Automotive.
Recognizing the expertise of Intel Automotive in high-performance semiconductor solutions, Stellantis Motorsport selected Intel as a key technical partner to develop this next-generation inverter control – a critical component of the GEN3 Evo single-seaters of DS Automobiles (DS E-TENSE FE25 ) and Maserati (MASERATI TIPO FOLGORE). In charge of controlling the electric motor using energy from the battery, but also of recovering energy during braking phases, the inverter plays a crucial role during a FE race, where any gain in efficiency is transformed into a precious competitive advantage. This new inverter control leverages Intel’s advanced semiconductor technology and software expertise to optimize power delivery and enhance overall vehicle performance.
The collaboration underscores Stellantis Motorsport’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle technology and reinforces the importance of motorsports as a testing ground for future mobility solutions.
