Since it arrived to motorsport, the ABB FIA Formula E (FE) started a sustainable revolution that has spread throughout the world today, after consolidating a strictly necessary project to make a significant contribution to carbon reduction. In fact, a year ago, it became the first division to be certified as zero-emission.
This has been possible thanks to the three-step plan that the 100% electric single-seater category strictly follows. Effectively measuring carbon output, reducing the footprint of the championship and offsetting emissions that cannot be avoided, as this is how the FE plays a fundamental role in green sports.
Quantis has been part of this process during the seven seasons of existence in motorsport. The company is in charge of specifically monitoring the carbon emissions under the responsibility of the championship. According to FE figures, there was a 55% reduction between the fifth and sixth seasons.
The measures implemented inside and outside the E Prix were enough to receive the international standard for sustainability in events. Optimizing transportation, collecting plastic bottles and recycling lithium-ion batteries are part of the green activities and practices carried out at every circuit visited by the category.

“Formula E was created with the primary goal of accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles and promoting sustainable practice, raising awareness of the benefits from driving electrified cars and how clean mobility can counteract climate change,” said Julia Pallé, FE Sustainability Director.

Formula E revealed how it is making the smallest possible impact on the planet. Pooling maritime cargo to reduce carbon, making as few trips as possible, preferably by water or train.
Work directly with suppliers to have low-impact solutions in terms of food logistics. Also, not having public parking lots encourages fans to use sustainable means of transportation to attend circuits to enjoy the races.
