DHL extends record partnership with F1 beyond 20 years
DHL is a long-standing sponsor of Formula 1, having first signed up during Bernie Ecclestone’s leadership and continuing through the Liberty Media era. Ecclestone had a special affinity for DHL, allowing them a motorhome slot in the paddock. DHL has contributed to F1’s sustainability efforts by introducing biofuel-powered trucks, resulting in an 83% reduction in emissions last year, expanding the fleet to 37 vehicles for the current season. Additionally, the use of more fuel-efficient Boeing 777s for flyaway events has led to a 17% reduction in emissions. In 2024, DHL will upgrade its paddock motorhome with solar panels and other sustainable features, transported by a biofuel-powered truck. Both F1 and DHL are committed to sustainability goals and look forward to further positive innovations in the future.
