Southwire to join Envision Racing in the Race Against Climate
Change. North America's leading
wire and cable company is playing a starring role in electrifying
the planet and has joined up with one of Formula E's leading teams
to continue powering that transformation.
CARROLLTON, Ga., June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Envision Racing is thrilled to
announce a multi-year alliance with North
America's leading wire and cable company, Southwire.
Southwire's vision - We Deliver Power… Responsibly® -
is rooted in their sustainability credentials and makes them a
perfect fit for Envision Racing as the greenest team on the
greenest grid.
As the Wire & Cable Provider to the ABB FIA Formula E World
Championship, Southwire has been actively supporting grid
modernization throughout North
America, helping navigate the complexities that exist with
building a sustainable EV charging infrastructure in North America.
Collaborating with a team in the all-electric championship gives
Southwire scope to go further, working with US-based OEMs and
associated suppliers to develop innovative systems and solutions
directly for its domestic market, as the need for sustainable
mobility solutions becomes ever more important in our daily
lives.
A family business to this day, Southwire wire and cable can be
found in almost 50% of houses built in the United States, and they produce half of
the cable used to transmit and distribute electricity throughout
the nation. Southwire's products play a key role in the
manufacturing of other products across the automotive sector too,
offering exceptional quality, and innovative solutions.
Franz Jung, President AESC Europe
and UK; VP of Envision Energy; and Chairman of the Board, Envision
Racing said, "I am delighted to welcome Southwire as an Official
Partner to our team. We look forward to working with them as they
revolutionise and build the infrastructure required for the future
of electric vehicle adoption."
Sylvain Filippi, Managing
Director and CTO added "We look forward to supporting them as they
develop solutions and products that can accelerate the transition
to clean, secure and affordable renewable energy and speed up the
mass adoption of e-mobility."
"As Southwire continues to pursue our commitment to remain
generationally-sustainable for the next 100 years and beyond, we
are inspired by Envision Racing and the broader Envision Group's
passion and dedication to create a world of beautiful energy," said
Burt Fealing, Southwire's Executive
Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Sustainability Officer,
"Southwire and Envision Racing are working toward a common goal -
to reduce our carbon footprints and create solutions that allow us
to better connect in a more electrified world. We are thrilled to
announce this alliance and look forward to driving positive change
together."
