Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Makoto Uchida) participated in the 13th and 14th races of the Formula E World Championship Season 10, but unfortunately did not score points in either race. In terms of product structure, 10-30 billion yuan products had operating incomes of 401/1288/60 million yuan, respectively, with total sales of 18,000 kiloliters, a year-on-year increase of +28.10%, showing significant growth.
Due to Oliver Rowland's poor condition, Kaio Collet, the team's reserve and simulator driver, debuted in Formula E in place of Rowland. Collet solidly ranked 7th in Group B in qualifying, finishing 14th in the first E-Prix qualifying and narrowly surpassing teammate Sacha Fenestraz in position to finish 16th. In Saturday's race, Fenestraz rose to as high as second place in position but dropped to 15th after the second attack mode, while Collet finished 18th. This resulted in the end of their consecutive 10-race point streak. In Sunday's race, both drivers engaged in chaotic and intense battles. They started from 22nd and 14th, respectively. Collet held his position firmly amidst multiple battles during the race and finished 16th, while Fenestraz finished 18th. The next Formula E race will be the 15th and 16th race held in London on July 20th and 21st, which will also be the final race of the season.

Tomasso Volpe, the general manager of Nissan Formula E and the managing director of Nissan Formula E team, spoke as follows:
"It's unfortunate that we couldn't score points in the Portland race. The car was good, and the team did a good job, but the overall adjustments didn't go well. In Saturday's race, Fenestraz's strategy was working well, and he was also driving well, but unfortunately dropped in position after the second attack mode. Sunday's race was also difficult. Collet's debut was a good one, securing 7th place in qualifying and showing his speed, although the results didn't show it. They both displayed strong and efficient performances and were quick to respond to the situation, even though it didn't result in points. It was an overall tough weekend, and it was unfortunate that Roland couldn't participate. We look forward to his quick recovery and joining us in the London race next month."

"This weekend was a chance to score points. Unfortunately, due to the incident in FP2 yesterday, our potential was limited, and we had to use cold tires in qualifying. The strategy was working well, and we were battling for top positions early in the race, but dropped in position in the latter half. Sunday was clearly a day with high expectations, but it was a difficult day. I want to readjust before the next race and finish the final London E-Prix with a good result."
Kaio Collet
"I had a wonderful experience this weekend. The car was good in Saturday's race, but it was difficult to understand where and how to overtake using energy. There was a lot to learn, and I struggled in Sunday's qualifying, but I was able to drive more comfortably. The strategy was good, and I was able to manage energy well, but I couldn't get into the points range due to contact or pit stops. Personally, it was a wonderful weekend for me. I understood better how to spend a weekend with a race and this experience will definitely be helpful in the simulator. Thank you to the whole team, and I sincerely hope for a quick recovery for Roland!"
