Starting with the new 2016 season, Infiniti will be a technical partner of the new Renault Sport Formula One team.

Leveraging its expertise in performance hybrids, Infiniti will contribute engineering resources to the Renault Energy F1 Power Unit's Energy Recovery System (ERS), which incorporates two motor generator units and a battery.

Infiniti's strong expertise will be used by the Renault Sport Formula One team in France, with a team of Infiniti hybrid specialists moving from Infiniti's technical center in Atsugi, Japan, to support development of the Renault Energy power unit. At the same time, Infiniti will use the experience from the F1 ERS system to further enhance its hybrid powertrains for road cars. 

This new and enhanced involvement strengthens the Renault Nissan Alliance and at the same time leverages the opportunities the Alliance provides by creating powerful industrial synergies for its members
