Mahindra Racing is pleased to announce Rockfort Engineering has joined as an official supplier to the team after a long-term technical relationship which has existed since the start of season two of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. The squad together with Rockfort Engineering are committed to supporting the development of zero carbon technology and next-generation powertrain systems.
Rockfort Engineering has collaborated very closely with Mahindra Racing to spearhead all aspects of the leading edge technologies in the powertrain, electronics and software on the race car in additional to supporting the team’s tools and systems at E-Prix races and its Race to Road program.
Motorsport has promoted the acceleration and showcase of new technologies, and Formula E is the most recent example where electric technologies developed for race cars can be adapted for day-to-day automotive use. Rockfort Engineering has extensive experience in Formula 1, Formula E, WRC and LMP race championships. The company’s founder, Angus Lyon, has successfully delivered a number of road, commercial and motorsport projects for over 20 years including the complete drivetrain for the Drayson B12/69EV which currently holds a world land speed record.
