Renault Sport Racing and DuPont have teamed up to develop new technology for Renault’s Formula 1 racing team and other racing programs. The two brands will collaborate on materials solutions for hybrid and electric powertrain systems as part of a multi-year strategic technical partnership.
Dupont is one of the biggest chemical companies in the world, and will develop new materials that can impact the design of a car’s power system, fabrication, and communications. One specific area of collaboration involves creating battery adhesives that improve thermal management, according to a press release.
“Our multi-year technical development partnership will enable ongoing collaboration to advance hybrid technology and chassis solutions, which we believe will ultimately result in improved efficiencies and on-track competitiveness,” said Cyril Abiteboul, Managing Director of Renault Sport Racing, in the press release.
