About a week ago, Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpleta announced its partnership with Enel as the official title sponsor for the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, as well as being the Sustainable Power Partner of MotoGP. Along with the exciting news is the unveiling of the race-spec Energica EgoGP in Rome.
The EgoGP has a maximum 110kW and 147.5lb/ft of torque. It is able to recharge from zero up to 85% in just under 20 minutes, via the integrated DC fast charging technology developed by CCS Combo.
The World Cup is set to take place sometime next year, with five 10-lap races held during European MotoGP events. The first official test for riders and teams is scheduled to take place at Spain’s Circuito de Jerez in February 2019.
18 Energica EgoGP bikes will be taking on the eCup with seven MotoGP independent teams such as Angel Nieto, Avintia, Gresini, LCR, Marc VDS, Pramac, and Tech 3 receiving two bikes each. The rest of the bikes will be given to Moto2 and Moto3 teams and Michelin will be the sole tire supplier.
Italy-based Enel is an Italian multinational manufacturer and distributor of electricity and gas and was founded by Livia and Franco Cevolini in 2014, employing 62,000 with an annual revenue of approximately $86 billion.
