The Jeddah E-Prix just concluded with a resounding success, giving yet another opportunity to SABIC — as principal and innovation partner — to demonstrate its ability to support the world’s transition to electric vehicles and a more sustainable future.
The Jeddah E-Prix was held on a new track at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, offering fans an electrifying experience and a platform for SABIC to showcase its expertise in automotive technologies, which have the potential to directly contribute to the evolving needs of EV manufacturers.
Since initiating the partnership in 2022, SABIC has worked closely with Formula E, officially the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, to drive innovation across the sport. It is collaborating closely with Formula E to integrate its sustainable solutions across their race cars and the whole ecosystem.
One such example is that of the GENBETA car development program — a live development platform created with Formula E to push the boundaries of EV technology. SABIC’s materials were used in the applications of GENBETA, contributing directly to the car’s achievement of hitting a top speed of 218 kph at the London E-Prix — setting a new Guinness World Record.
Being an innovative science and technology company, SABIC has materials and capabilities to take advantage of the enormous growth opportunity that electrification represents. At the same time, SABIC’s initiatives to advance electrification align fully with its broader sustainability strategy, which supports a circular carbon economy vision.
As Formula E continues to make waves globally as a premier motorsport championship for electric cars, SABIC’s ongoing work with commercial EV makers and their partners is contributing to the development of breakthrough solutions to help increase efficiency and performance — perfectly aligned with its mission to provide innovative solutions to automakers and help them enhance the performance of EVs.
