Citroën has now confirmed its commitment to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as the series prepares to enter the GEN4 era. A new era that will mark a turning-point in Formula E history.

The announcement was made by CEO Xavier Chardon on Saturday of 20th March in Madrid, ahead of Round 6 of the Championship.

This decision reinforces Formula E as a central pillar of Citroën’s electrification and performance strategy.

Xavier Chardon, CEO of Citroën, said:

“At Citroën, innovation must serve real life. Formula E — and now GEN4 — is how we turn electric performance into everyday progress. Motorsport has always been part of our DNA. We are proud to be fully involved in this new chapter.”

Madrid hosted Round 6 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on March 21, marking the first European race of Season 12. The event was supported by a series of activations highlighting the importance of the Spanish market for Citroën.

Key highlights include:

  • A Citroën Racing show car on display at the Circuito del Jarama to promote the Madrid E-Prix.
  • A show run on Calle del Doctor Esquerdo, one of Madrid’s main streets, with Tatiana Calderón at the wheel, attracting more than 8,600 spectators and over 300,000 views on Marca’s livestream.
  • An exclusive event at one of Spain’s oldest Citroën dealerships, attended by Citroën Racing drivers Jean-Éric Vergne and Nick Cassidy.
  • The presence of more than 50 invited international journalists during race weekend, strengthening global media engagement.
  • A strong Citroën presence in the Fan Village with the Formula E show car, alongside a fully branded Citroën Race Suite hosting partners, media and guests throughout the event.
  • A dedicated Citroën grandstand welcoming 700 invited guests, including dealers, factory colleagues, fans and Citroën teams.

As Formula E moves towards the GEN4 era, Citroën will continue to build on the expertise developed through its racing activities to support its ambitions in both motorsport and electrification.
