Artificial intelligence: Peugeot Sport joins forces with Capgemini to accelerate and optimize the development of its hybrid Hypercar

#artificialintelligence

Peugeot Sport has signed a multi-year partnership with the global leader in digital transformation Capgemini to provide the Peugeot 9X8's FIA World Endurance Championship programme team with advanced digital tools. Peugeot Sport is poised to make its return to topflight endurance racing this summer and will capitalise on Capgemini's data and AI applications expertise to take the performance of its revolutionary hybrid Hypercar forward, both in the simulator and on the racetrack. This new partnership also embodies the commitment of both companies to the energy transition. Pooling the capacity of Peugeot Sport and Capgemini's digital tools will enable the team's engineers, drivers and mechanics to deepen their understanding of the 9X8, while also accelerating and boosting its competitive potential as software development becomes a key factor given that the car's hardware specification will be frozen for a period of four years in keeping with the FIA World Endurance Championship's Hypercar regulations. With Peugeot Sport at a crucial stage in the car's development, this fundamental technological support is a sign of how motor racing is evolving.
