AUBURN HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PHINIA, a global leader in premium fuel systems, electrical systems, and aftermarket products, today announces two partnerships with sports car and motor racing company Alpine. It is supporting Alpine in the development of its Alpenglow hydrogen-powered prototype, as well as renewing and expanding its multi-year partnership with BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team.
PHINIA equips Alpenglow's hydrogen racing future
PHINIA is pleased to announce its technical partnership with Alpine to support the development of the Alpenglow hydrogen-powered concept car. For this project, PHINIA supplied its innovative DI-CHG direct hydrogen injectors and associated driver technology, which will help power Alpine's vision for a zero-emission future.
The DI-CHG injectors are designed for high-performance internal combustion engines using hydrogen, offering powerful features such as precise fuel delivery, multiple injection capabilities, and compatibility with both compressed natural gases (CNG) and hydrogen gases. These injectors are an essential part of Alpenglow's hydrogen combustion system, ensuring optimal performance while promoting zero-emission mobility.
Alpenglow represents the future of motorsport design and sustainable propulsion, aligning with PHINIA's strategic vision to advance sustainability today to power a cleaner tomorrow. The brand new 6-cylinder vehicle, Alpenglow Hy6, was debuted at last year's Paris Motor Show after the 4-cylinder version was showcased at the Total Energies 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps in May 2024. Alpenglow's hydrogen-powered capabilities were also demonstrated on track at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with French football legend, Zinedine Zidane, as a passenger.
On the collaboration, Pierre-Jean Tardy, Chief Engineer, Hydrogen, at Alpine Racing, said: "We are thrilled to have PHINIA as our technical partner on this exciting journey into hydrogen mobility. Their expertise in fuel systems and advanced injector technology is critical to making Alpenglow a reality, and together we are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in motorsport."
Delphi renews partnership with BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team
PHINIA, under its leading aftermarket brand, Delphi, is set to build on its existing 3-year partnership with BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team. Having previously been present on the cars at selected race events, the Delphi logo will now feature on the team's single-seaters and associated commercial assets, maintaining a strong presence throughout the global F1 calendar.
This renewed partnership cements Delphi's renowned reputation within the competitive aftermarket space.
Advancing innovation in motorsport and beyond
"We are excited to continue our partnership with Alpine Racing and BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team," said Neil Fryer, Vice President and General Manager of PHINIA's Global Aftermarket business. "The close collaboration between PHINIA and Alpine Racing reflects Delphi's position as a high-performing technical leader which, through this partnership, is helping to develop more sustainable combustion technologies in high performance vehicles.
"Partnering with Alpine on these two fronts enables us to showcase the versatility and performance of our technology," added Fryer. "From the reliability and durability of our Delphi aftermarket parts to the precise DI-CHG injectors in hydrogen racing, we're excited to contribute to the next generation of automotive performance."
