Extreme E Extends Bosch Partnership

Extreme E has announced a partnership extension with Bosch, that will see the company continue as the Championship’s official power tool supplier for Season 2 of the electric off-road racing series.

Under terms of the agreement, the German brand will continue to provide its professional equipment to service Extreme E’s electric SUV, the ODYSSEY 21.

Bosch provides mainly cordless tools that are critical to the sport-for-purpose championship and can withstand the toughest Extreme E racing locations. As part of the partnership extension, Bosch tools will specifically be used to assist in construction of X Prix event sites, which are held in the most remote corners of the planet to highlight the climate crisis.

Alongside providing support on race weekends, Bosch will be committing resources to Extreme E’s Senegal legacy project. It aims to educate the local community of Lac Rose on how to use their tools in addition to leaving the equipment behind for their use in Senegal when Extreme E leaves. The German brand’s tools will be utilised to aid the Lac Rose citizens to rebuild schools and houses.

Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme E, said, “I’m thrilled to extend the partnership with Bosch. Continuing our hard work from Season 1, Bosch provided us with the essential tools that helped us deliver Extreme E’s inaugural campaign and I look forward to building upon this relationship for Season 2, especially through our first legacy project collaboration together in Senegal.”

Henk Becker, CEO of Bosch Power Tools, added, “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Extreme E. Our professional power tools are made for the toughest applications – very similar to those conditions and challenges Extreme E is taking on. We fully support the championship’s purpose to raise awareness for climate change and share its dedication towards innovation and performance.”

Extreme E is a new racing series, which sees electric SUVs competing in extreme environments around the world which have already been damaged or affected by climate and environmental issues. The five-race global tour highlights the impact of climate change and human interference in some of the world’s most remote locations and promotes the adoption of electric vehicles in the quest for a lower carbon future for the planet.  

Season 2 of Extreme E kicked off in NEOM, Saudi Arabia in February 2022 and will head to Sardinia for a double-header Island X Prix event in July.
