Panasonic Jaguar Racing and Castrol partner on electric vehicle technology

With the Formula E season about to start, the Panasonic Jaguar Racing Formula E Team has been working closely with Castrol's engineers to put e-fluids to the test on the track to help find breakthroughs for the electric vehicles of tomorrow.

Castrol's advanced e-fluid products are supplied to the Panasonic Jaguar Racing Formula E Team for use in the Jaguar I-TYPE 4 and the cars are already showing pre-season performance benefits. Partnering together in the demanding race environment of Formula E is the perfect way to jointly develop, monitor and test the e-fluids for both race cars and the road cars of the future.

Jaguar and Castrol's on-track relationship builds on a long and successful partnership in motorsport dating back to the 1980s and includes prestigious wins such as Le Mans 24 Hours in 1988 and 24 Hours of Daytona in 1990.

This partnership was expanded to road cars in 2001 when Jaguar Land Rover chose Castrol to be its preferred global strategic partner for lubricants technology, factory fill and aftermarket. This close partnership continues today both on and off the track, delivering technology that unlocks fuel savings, reduces CO² emissions, as well as developing e-fluids for electric vehicles. 

As drivers look to transition to electric vehicles, Jaguar and Castrol's engineers are pioneering new testing and monitoring methods to help drive efficiency and economy.
