Nissan is to replace Renault at the e.dams outfit for the fifth season of Formula E in 2018/19.
Nissan confirmed on Wednesday that it would join the championship in 2018/19, when a new chassis and a revised battery system are used, and the marque will take the place of Renault.
Nissan and Renault, which has won the Teams' title in all three seasons, have held a strategic alliance for several years and the manufacturers will ensure that there is a smooth transition with the e.dams outfit.
"To have a name like Nissan coming on board is a momentous day for the series," said Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag.
"Not only is it great to welcome a new manufacturer to the Formula E family – it’s great to see our first Japanese manufacturer entering the frame, showing truly how global the electric revolution is.
"Japan is a country at the forefront of new technologies with one of the biggest followings of Formula E. The shift towards sustainable mobility is in motion and it’s unstoppable.
"I look forward to seeing the Nissan logo adorned on the new-look cars for Season Five."
