FIA selects Siemens as Official Sustainability PLM Software Supplier
The FIA will begin implementing the Siemens
Xcelerator portfolio to enable the design of vehicles and regulations that reduce
energy consumption and emissions. Through this collaboration, Siemens will
support the FIA in achieving its sustainability goals through innovative
thinking, pioneering approaches in motor sport and new technological advances
that could be impactful across the automotive industry.
“As innovation and sustainability are two of
the most important guiding principles of the FIA, we are pleased to welcome
Siemens as an official supplier and to adopt their sustainable software
solutions across our work on Formula 1 and other motorsport activities,” said
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, FIA President. ”Innovative collaborations such as this
underline our commitment to becoming net zero carbon by 2030.”
“Motorsport and sustainability sound like a
contradiction. But it can be done using the right technologies. If motorsport
achieves carbon neutrality, any industry can. With this collaboration, we plan
to influence public perceptions and promote sustainable mobility. We are
delighted to be selected as an official supplier to help the FIA meet its
sustainability goals,” said Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board of
Siemens AG and CEO Digital Industries.
Having achieved carbon neutrality and obtaining
the ISO14001:2015 certification in 2021, the FIA is continuing to explore new
areas for development. This new initiative expands Siemens’ relationship with
the FIA and builds on previous collaborations and projects driving digital transformation
at the FIA and applying Siemens’ expertise and innovation to help improve urban
mobility, safety, efficiency, affordability, accessibility and reliability.
In 2019, the FIA and Siemens worked together
to improve rally safety by exploring how autonomous vehicle pedestrian
detection technology could be used to identify dangerous locations for rally
spectators. Then in 2020, Siemens helped FIA Member Clubs provide an
evidence-based approach to advocate for the implementation of mobility policies.
