GKN plans to offer design, manufacturing and consultancy services to the Panasonic Jaguar Racing Formula E team over the next few years.
‘Formula E is a competitive showcase for electric car technology, and is therefore an excellent arena for GKN to continue its activities in global motorsport,’ said Phil Swash, GKN Driveline CEO. ‘As a world leader in advanced drivelines, lightweight structures and state-of-the-art electrified systems, GKN is proud to join Panasonic Jaguar Racing in its race to innovate and inspire on the world stage.’
GKN says that it supplies every Jaguar model on the market with a range of driveline technologies, including CV Joints and all-wheel drive systems. GKN driveshafts have reportedly featured on almost every Jaguar road and race cars.
