Apple Supplier TDK Partners With McLaren Racing To Boost Formula E Presence
"Formula E technology is always at the cutting edge of EVs and we want them to utilise our components so we can sharpen our technology," said TDK Corp. (OTC:TTDKY), a key supplier of Apple has entered into a strategic partnership with McLaren Racing to enhance its presence in the Formula E electric motor racing series.
TDk公司（場外交易：TTDKY）, 作爲蘋果的主要供應商，已與邁凱輪賽車達成戰略合作伙伴關係，以增強其在一級方程式電動賽車賽事中的影響力。
What Happened: The Japanese electronics company, renowned for its smartphone batteries, aims to supply components such as inverters and sensors for McLaren's Nissan e-4ORCE 05 cars, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
事件經過：據路透社週二報道，這家以智能手機電池聞名的日本電子公司旨在爲邁凱倫的日產e-4ORCE 05汽車提供逆變器和傳感器等元件。
TDK is a prominent player in passive components and sensors and is leveraging the advanced technology of Formula E to improve its product offerings.
TDk是被動元器件和傳感器領域的重要參與者，正在利用一級方程式的先進技術來改善其產品系列。
"Formula E technology is always at the cutting edge of EVs and we want them to utilise our components so we can sharpen our technology," said Taro Ikushima, CEO of TDK's Electronic Components Business Company, in an interview with Reuters.
"一級方程式的技術始終處於電動汽車的前沿，我們希望他們能利用我們的元件，以便我們可以提升我們的技術，" TDk的電子元器件業務公司CEO Taro Ikushima在接受路透社採訪時表示。
Automotive products make up nearly 25% of TDK's sales. The company is a leading supplier of ceramic capacitors and temperature sensors. Despite debates on the speed of transition from gasoline vehicles, TDK sees vast opportunities in the EV market, as plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles require significantly more multilayer ceramic chip capacitors than traditional gasoline cars.
汽車產品佔TDk銷售額的近25%。該公司是陶瓷電容器和溫度傳感器的主要供應商。儘管有關從汽油汽車過渡的速度的爭論，TDk看到在電動汽車市場上巨大的機會，因爲插電式混合動力車和純電動汽車需要比傳統汽油車更多的多層陶瓷芯片電容器。
Why It Matters: The partnership between TDK and McLaren Racing is a significant move in the context of the growing focus on electric motorsports. Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which owns a majority stake in Lucid Group Inc., (NASDAQ:LCID) announced a multi-year partnership with Formula E, Extreme E, and E1 to support the growth of electric motorsports. This initiative, known as Electric 360, aims to foster leadership events, STEM initiatives, and community apprenticeship programs.
爲什麼重要：TDk與邁凱輪賽車之間的合作是在電動賽車領域日益關注的背景下邁出的重要一步。今年早些時候，沙特阿拉伯的公共投資基金，擁有Lucid Group Inc.（納斯達克：LCID）的大部分股份，宣佈與一級方程式、Extreme E和E1達成多年合作伙伴關係，以支持電動賽車的增長。這一舉措，即Electric 360，旨在促進領導活動、STEm項目和社區學徒計劃。
Additionally, the motorsports industry is witnessing a shift towards electrification. In July, NASCAR unveiled a new electric vehicle prototype and launched an electrification innovation partnership, signaling a significant transformation in racing leagues. This move underscores the potential for diversification with electric vehicles in the motorsports sector.
此外，賽車行業正在向電動化轉變。今年7月，NASCAR推出了一款新的電動汽車原型，並啓動了一個電動化創新夥伴關係，標誌着賽車聯賽的重大轉變。這一舉措突顯了在賽車領域以電動汽車進行多元化的潛力。
