TotalEnergies and Formula E
Launched in 2014, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is now a top-tier series in global motorsports. Since the 2020–2021 season, this championship for 100% electric vehicles has held FIA World Championship status. For TotalEnergies, which is committed to addressing the challenges of sustainable mobility, Formula E is an ideal testing ground for developing the solutions of tomorrow. For the 2026–2027 season, TotalEnergies is partnering with Citroën Racing and the Citroën Racing Formula E Team.
TotalEnergies and Citroën Team up in Formula E
TotalEnergies has been competing in the Formula E championship since 2016. Following a long and successful partnership with DS Automobiles—crowned by two championship titles in 2018–2019 and 2019–2020—TotalEnergies is teaming up with another Stellantis Group brand for the 2026–2027 season: Citroën and the Citroën Racing Formula E Team.
TotalEnergies and Citroën have been partners in motorsports for nearly 60 years. Beginning in the late 1960s, the TotalEnergies Group supported Citroën in its motorsports programs. A few years later, the Citroën ZX Rallye-Raid, winner of four Dakar Rallies, bore Total’s colors. In the late 1990s, the Citroën Xsara WRC claimed its first victory in the World Rally Championship with Total. Citroën and Total have won eight World Manufacturers’ titles and nine Drivers’ titles with Sébastien Loeb.
After more than half a century and hundreds of victories in “internal combustion” races, TotalEnergies and Citroën are teaming up again in a championship reserved for electric vehicles. Jean-Eric Vergne, a two-time Formula E champion, and Nick Cassidy, a two-time runner-up, will represent Citroën and TotalEnergies during the 2026–2027 season.

Formula E offers an outstanding test environment for technologies that are being developed. The E-Prix races are very intense and often held in hot countries, providing extreme conditions that must be imitated in our laboratory.
This has enabled us to collect valuable data that has been used to create our Quartz EV Fluid lubricant range, which is perfectly aligned with the needs of electrified vehicles, whether they are hybrids, plug-in hybrids or electric.
Driving progress in this segment, these pioneering products illustrate our commitment to meeting the challenges of today’s and tomorrow’s mobility, while offering energy solutions in line with the environmental and climate challenges faced.
TotalEnergies has organised itself so that its product range designed for electric vehicles, Quartz EV Fluid, can benefit from its latest discoveries in FE within a matter of months. This applies both to electric motor cooling fluid as well as gearbox and differential coolant.
At TotalEnergies, the same engineers work on racing products and TotalEnergies’ consumer range, thus ensuring technical developments can be rolled out quickly. Once the prototype designed for DS PENSKE has been approved, it is then a matter of adapting the technology to the requirements of production vehicles. This particularly involves ensuring a longer lifespan for products, with specific tests conducted in conjunction with car and gearbox manufacturers so that the link between racing and production vehicles is effective.
