Iron Horse Acquisition II Corp. (Nasdaq: IRHO) disclosed on October 13, 2026, that Electra AI has been selected as the Official Battery Intelligence Partner for Westbrook Racing by Visit Angola. The racing team competes in the UIM E1 World Championship, a global platform for electric marine racing. Under the three-year agreement, Electra will deploy its AI Brain for Batteries platform and its Race Boost Optimizer module beginning with the 2026 season.
The partnership aims to enhance the team's understanding of battery health and performance. The software analyzes post-race telemetry data—including boat speed, position, power demand, voltage, current, and temperature—to estimate State of Health (SoH), State of Charge (SoC), State of Power (SoP), and Remaining Useful Life (RUL). Electra states that the system is designed to complement human expertise rather than replace it, providing data-driven insights to optimize race strategy without modifying the existing battery management system.
Electra AI is an AI-driven cleantech company that develops a unified intelligence layer for battery systems. The company entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Iron Horse Acquisition II Corp. in April 2026. The combined entity is expected to list on Nasdaq in the second half of 2026 under the ticker symbol AIBR. Iron Horse Acquisition II Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, completed its initial public offering in December 2025, raising approximately $230 million.
