Formula E official appreciates govt’s efforts to host Formula E

Hyderabad: Formula E’s sustainability director Julia Palle was all praise for the Telangana government’s assistance in maintaining the sustainability quotient of the event.

Speaking with Deccan Chronicle, the Formula E official said, “The local government organised the first Motor E show coinciding with the Formula E signalling strong support to us.”

“They gathered and welcomed all the e-mobility ecosystem stakeholders to make sure our event will benefit beyond the racing and fans,” she stated, adding that Hyderabad already housed a very strong innovation hub.

Formula E, being an all electric motor sport, bets big on sustainability which was the essence and soul of the sport world over. Julia Palle said that the most amazing part of Formula E was that teams and suppliers were bringing sustainability into the picture.

“Right from the design phase, the cars are sustainable. Twenty-five per cent of the car’s tyres are made from sustainable materials, chassis of the cars have for the first time embraced recycled carbon fiber and linen, the lithium and other minerals used to make the batteries are mined using the highest standard Grade-A mining,” Palle added.
