BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC) – Barbadian driver Zane Maloney will represent Nissan at the 2026/2027 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship after making the switch from Lola Yamaha ABT.
The 22-year-old will join forces with Oliver Rowland, who had an impressive 2025/2026 season, where he earned six podiums, including a victory on the streets of Monaco on his way to finishing fourth in the Drivers’ World Championship to maintain his record of top four finishes in every season since his return three years ago.
Maloney will be entering his third season in Formula E, having gained valuable experience across his first two campaigns, securing top 10 finishes in São Paulo, Monaco and Tokyo last season.
Maloney, who placed 20th in the Driver’s World Championship last season with Lola Yamaha ABT, said he was excited to be joining forces with Nissan.
“I’m very excited to join Nissan. When I came into Formula E, the team was winning the championship with Oli, so it’s a great chance for me to now join a top manufacturer.
“I’ve spent the last two seasons with a new team, developing my skills and trying to get the best results we could, so I’m really looking forward to taking this next step in my career,” Maloney said.
“It’s also a great opportunity to be teammates with Oli. He’s a World Champion and someone I watched when I was growing up, first winning races in Formula 2 and then in Formula E, so to be alongside him and learn from him will be really valuable.
“GEN4 is a big opportunity for everyone to develop quickly, and I’ll be doing everything I can to prepare well and hit the ground running from the first race. A big thank you to Nissan for the trust in me. I’m really looking forward to getting started and achieving some very good results together,” he added.
