After a brief hiatus, ABT re-joined the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship grid in 2023 for Season 9 alongside CUPRA as its partner, equipped with a Mahindra Racing powertrain.  ABT now embraces a fresh alliance, partnering with the legendary motorsport brand Lola Cars, with Yamaha Motor serving as its technical collaborator for powertrain and software development.

This development coincides with Lola Cars' recent announcement of their return to global motorsport through a long-term technical collaboration with Yamaha Motor Company, commencing from Season 11. 

With a shared heritage deeply rooted in track racing, this technological union not only paves the way for their participation in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as it transitions to the GEN3 Evo platform for the 2024/25 season, but also sets ABT on a new trajectory for powertrain excellence. The 2024 season opener in Mexico was the 100th race for ABT, and with 47 podium finishes and more than 1,400 points, the team is one of the most successful on the grid.

Thomas Biermaier, CEO and Team Principal of ABT:

“We are delighted to have found two renowned partners for our future in Formula E. Of course, it will be a big challenge for a new manufacturer to enter and establish itself in a world championship. But during our discussions and negotiations over the past few months, we have clearly sensed how skilled, motivated and determined Lola and Yamaha are to make this project a success – just like every member of our team. In the meantime, we are fully focused on the current season. Our goal is to achieve as many sporting highlights as possible in the coming weeks.”
