In this way, Bosch Motorsport will supply key elements of the hybrid system, starting with the electric motor (MGU), the inverter, and the hybrid control unit: “We are pleased to continue our fruitful collaboration with the FIA World Endurance Championship for the 2026 and 2027 seasons – said Ingo Mauel, Head of Bosch Motorsport – this collaboration is driven by our deep passion for developing cutting-edge technologies and highlights our shared ambition, together with FIA WEC and ACO, to shape the future of endurance racing. The championship represents the ideal testing ground for our advanced hybrid systems, allowing us to push performance and efficiency to the limit under the most extreme conditions. We are proud to continue transferring this pioneering spirit from the track to the road.”
Satisfaction for the agreement reached was also expressed by Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest: “Bosch is much more than a partner: it is a cornerstone of the Hypercar era. Their engineering expertise, particularly in hybrid technology, has been decisive in shaping a competitive, efficient, and cost-contained framework, to the benefit of the entire grid. Renewing this partnership for 2026 and 2027 is a natural step and a strong signal that the most innovative industrial players see the FIA WEC and the 24 Hours of Le Mans as the ideal stage to demonstrate what technology can achieve.”
