DHL extends record partnership with F1 beyond 20 years
DHL has been a key sponsor of Formula 1 since the days of former boss Bernie Ecclestone, and the partnership has continued under Liberty Media’s ownership. The company has been given special privileges, such as a motorhome slot in the paddock alongside the teams and tyre companies. DHL has helped F1 reach its sustainability goals by introducing biofuel-powered trucks for European events, resulting in an 83% decrease in emissions. The fleet of biofuel trucks will be expanded to 37 vehicles for the upcoming season. DHL will also upgrade its paddock motorhome to a new unit equipped with solar panels and recycling stations later in the 2024 European season. Both F1 and DHL are committed to sustainability, and their partnership has been crucial to the sport’s growth and transformation.
