NASCAR announced new efforts to promote a transition toward electric vehicles, as well as electrify their operations and achieve net-zero carbon emissions within the next decade.

The motorsports organization revealed in a press release that they will partner with ABB, a company based in Sweden and Switzerland that helps businesses “optimize, electrify, and decarbonize their operations,” in order to advance their sustainability objectives. The release insisted that NASCAR remains “committed to the historic role of the combustion engine in racing” but is still “committed to decarbonizing its operations” by 2035.

“ABB is an industry leader and will help in efforts to decarbonize our operations as we pursue achieving net-zero operating emissions over the next decade,” NASCAR senior vice president and chief impact officer Eric Nyquist commented in a statement about the initiative.

NASCAR said they will increase waste diversion efforts, install electric vehicle charging stations at their facilities, and implement renewable energy at owned race tracks by 2028.

The announcement comes as NASCAR revealed a new electric vehicle prototype this week at the annual Chicago Street Race. The vehicle first debuted two years ago and was developed with the assistance of car manufacturers such as Chevrolet, Ford, and Toyota.

NASCAR asserted that the creation of the electric vehicle marks a “rededication to product relevance” and aligns with the objective that their “race cars match production cars on the street as much as possible.” Both state and federal lawmakers have heavily promoted electric vehicles and claimed that they will rapidly replace cars with internal combustion engines, even as a substantial share of American consumers remain hesitant toward the nascent technology.
