DHL has been selected as the official global logistics partner for the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the organization responsible for overseeing international motorsport and promoting mobility worldwide. The new partnership will see DHL managing key logistical operations for Formula 1, Formula 2, and Formula 3 events, including the transportation and setup of mobile office spaces, garages, and racetrack equipment.
In this role, DHL will be responsible for ensuring the smooth delivery and installation of essential infrastructure at race venues. The company’s expertise in motorsport logistics will be crucial in maintaining the high standards required for elite racing events. This includes handling sensitive equipment used in timing, safety, and race management.
A central theme of the partnership is environmental responsibility. DHL will be integrating sustainable practices into its operations by deploying trucks powered by hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) for races across Europe. The use of alternative fuels reflects both organizations' shared goals to reduce emissions and promote cleaner technologies in motorsport logistics.
FIA's chief commercial officer, Craig Edmondson, emphasized the importance of aligning with partners who prioritize sustainability. He noted that this collaboration offers not only operational support at racing events but also a chance to further embed eco-conscious practices throughout the motorsport ecosystem.
