IndyCar: Yazaki Innovations Extends its Partnership with Andretti

After making their INDYCAR debut at the 108th Running at the Indianapolis 500, Yazaki Innovations, Inc. (YII), the tech-disrupting subsidiary of Yazaki North America, has renewed its technical collaboration and sponsorship with Andretti INDYCAR for the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season.

Yazaki Innovations’ new PreFab Home Wiring™ branding will be proudly displayed on the front wings of both the No. 27 Honda, driven by Kyle Kirkwood, and the No. 28 Honda, piloted by Marcus Ericsson starting at the season opener on the Streets of St. Petersburg. 

“Bringing Yazaki Innovations into the Andretti family of partners during the month of May last year was a great way to gear up for the Indianapolis 500, and we’re thrilled that they’ll be back with us for the 2025 INDYCAR season,” said Doug Bresnahan, Chief Commercial Officer at Andretti Global. “At Andretti, we strive to bring in partners that not only mirror our passion for innovation and our winning spirit but also boost our performance both and off the track, and it’s obvious that Yazaki Innovations does just that.” 

To celebrate the extension of the partnership, the No. 28 Delaware Life show car was featured earlier this month at the Yazaki Innovations booth at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, an annual tradeshow that welcomes over 141,000 attendees with four days of product launches, networking opportunities and expert talks.  

“Our company thrives on being fast and agile and finding new ways to push boundaries and achieving peak performance,” said Erik Fleming, CEO & President at Yazaki Innovations. “The entire Andretti organization shares these core values of innovation, teamwork, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Just as the drivers strive for podiums, we strive for continuous improvement in all aspects of our business. This partnership provides a dynamic platform to showcase our brand, engage with passionate and inspiring engineers and innovators.” 

Yazaki Innovations and Andretti INDYCAR will explore “Race-to-Road” technologies that will be tested in extreme race environments. Not only will these developments help Andretti INDYCAR perform on the track but will also enhance Yazaki’s product portfolio to be ahead of its competition on the road.
