Together with SAP, the Mercedes EQ Formula E team will make its debut at the start of the 2019 season. Formula E is a racing series for formula cars with electric motors.

SAP will support the Mercedes EQ factory team with back-office solutions and innovations based on SAP technology. SAP and the Mercedes EQ Formula E team engineers plan to develop technology solutions based on Hana that will help the crew analyze big data and monitor overall performance.

As part of the joint development, engineers can also take advantage of other features and functions of the SAP Cloud Platform and Leonardo, the system for digital innovation.

These include, for example, functions for the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning, as well as forecasting functions.

"Sustainability is an essential element of SAP's vision to improve the operations of the global economy and the lives of people. And sustainable mobility is an important step on our path to climate-neutral business operations.

Accordingly, we are aiming for a 20 percent share of electric vehicles in SAP's fleet by 2020 and are driving forward the development of innovative IT solutions for e-mobility."

explained Bernd Leukert, SAP Executive Board member responsible for Products and Innovation.
