YOKOHAMA, Japan – Nissan Formula E Team is delighted to announce a renewal of its sponsorship agreement with long-standing partner Alpine Tech for the remainder of Season 12 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, to include branding on the Japanese outfit's racecars and drivers' overalls.

To celebrate this long-lasting collaboration, the Alpine Tech logo will appear on the inside of the rear wing end plates on both the #1 and #23 Nissan e‑4ORCE 05 cars from this weekend's Madrid E-Prix. The brand's logo will also feature on the drivers' race suits.
Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: "We're very happy to showcase the Alpine Tech brand for the remainder of the GEN3 season, as our partnership and collaboration has been key to our success in this era of Formula E. We're excited to continue working with Alpine Tech, our relationship is a broad one with several different touchpoints, making their support very valuable."
