The two CEOs of the companies, Dilbagh Gill and Thomas Biermaier, have now signed the corresponding contract and at the same time agreed to work closely together on development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are looking forward to this new Allg\u00e4u-India connection and are grateful that Mahindra Racing and its partners are supporting us in our comeback in Formula E,\u201d says Thomas Biermaier. \u201cMahindra Racing and ABT have a long history together: both brands were founding members of Formula E almost a decade ago, have had many great battles and have jointly driven the development of the series off the track. Now we are continuing our journey within an intense technical collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dilbagh Gill, CEO and Team Principal at Mahindra Racing, commented: \u201cABT is one of the top-level race outfits in the world and we\u2019ve long-enjoyed racing competitively against them. It\u2019s an honour to be able to take our powertrain, developed in partnership with ZF, and support the team in its return to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Both Mahindra Racing and ABT Sportsline were championship founding teams and its absence in the paddock has been felt hugely. We look forward to seeing the team back winning races from 2023 and we are committed to supporting them with whatever they need to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CEOs_Thomas_Biermaier_ABT_and_Dilbagh_Gill_Mahindara_1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CEOs_Thomas_Biermaier_ABT_and_Dilbagh_Gill_Mahindara_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CEOs_Thomas_Biermaier_ABT_and_Dilbagh_Gill_Mahindara_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CEOs_Thomas_Biermaier_ABT_and_Dilbagh_Gill_Mahindara_1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CEOs_Thomas_Biermaier_ABT_and_Dilbagh_Gill_Mahindara_1.jpg 1134w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>|Driver: Dilbagh Gill|Team: Mahindra Racing|Keyword: team principal|\r\r|Photographer: Lou Johnson|Event: Berlin ePrix|Circuit: Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit|Location: Berlin|Series: FIA Formula E|Season: 2021-2022|Country: Germany|Keyword: season 8|Keyword: season eight|Keyword: S8|Keyword: motorsport|Keyword: electric racing|Keyword: single seater|Keyword: open wheel|Keyword: 2022|Keyword: May|<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mahindra is the only Indian team in Formula E and the first to receive the FIA\u2019s three-star environmental accreditation.
