“The decades of steadfast loyalty to the Pau Grand Prix from Elf, then Total and now TotalEnergies is naturally anchored in our legitimacy in motor sports, and our passion for competitions, which raise our brands as go-to references for both the general public, and the most demanding of professionals.
For many, many years now, this open event has contributed to putting Pau on the map - which is to our advantage too, as we want to attract high-profile employees to our different sites in the Béarn region, in Pau at the Scientific and Technical Center, home to 2,500 employees, and on our sites in the Lacq Basin,” explains Thierry Renard, Director of the TotalEnergies Site in Pau.
Our teams were all mobilized to present the innovations available in terms of electric propulsion, hydrogen solutions and new fuels, as well as innovative compounds and materials.
