YEREVAN, OCTOBER 22, ARMENPRESS. Formula E is thrilled that award-winning actor and global environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio will chair the organization’s newly-created Formula E Sustainability Committee. This body will focus on Formula E’s contributions to promoting the mass use of electric vehicles, focusing particularly on urban mobility. The long term imprint of Formula E on the cities where it races, in both infrastructure and education terms, will be also a focus point of the committee. “Armenpress” reports about this, citing official website of automobile sports.

Formula E, officially the FIA Formula E Championship, is a class of auto racing, using only electric-powered cars. The series was conceived in 2012, and the inaugural championship started in Beijing on 13 September 2014.

Mr DiCaprio will be joined on the committee by the CEOs of the Championship Partners and Shareholders, as well as Alejandro Agag, CEO of Formula E Holdings.
