THE GEN3 EVO
The introduction of the GEN3 EVO race car , which boasts breathtaking acceleration and enhanced sustainability features , promises to elevate the competition and reaffirm Formula E ’ s commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility . The GEN3 EVO was unveiled in Monaco in April 2024 .
“ The GEN3 EVO can travel at 320km ( 200 mph ),” explains Julia Pallé , VP of Sustainability at Formula E . “ It was the first car designed with a sustainability KPI based on the lifecycle assessment lessons we got from generation two . The lessons learnt managed to reduce the carbon footprint . However , it was important to ensure that there would be a clear end of life for the tyres , batteries , chassis and more .”
ABB supports the rollout of ultra-fast charging infrastructure and advanced technologies for the mass market , while DHL manages freight emissions , which constitute 70-75 % of Formula E ’ s Scope 3 carbon emissions , and has seen a reduction of 41 %.
The strategic synergy highlights their shared commitment to achieving science-based targets and underscores the significant impact of their collaborative sustainability efforts .
As freight generates approximately two-thirds of Formula E ’ s Scope 3 emissions , measures to support efficient logistics with DHL include using biofuels , clustering races geographically and employing modular logistics .
