F1 cuts European travel emissions by over 80%
In partnership with DHL, Formula 1 has significantly reduced emissions during travel in European countries for the 2023 season. DHL utilized biofuel in its fleet of trucks that transported equipment, resulting in an average 83% cut in carbon emissions compared to fuel-driven trucks. Throughout the nine European rounds, 18 trucks used HV0100 drop-in fuel, covering a distance of over 10,600km and transporting an average of 300 tonnes of freight per race. F1 ensures that these biofuel-powered trucks maintain the performance level of their diesel counterparts, equipped with GPS to monitor fuel consumption and optimize efficient routes. By 2030, FIA regulations require every World Championship to be net zero, and in 2016, F1 plans to transition to advanced sustainable fuels. Additionally, feeder series F2 and F3 currently operate on 55% sustainable fuel. F1 teams have already achieved FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation, signifying the highest level of environmental sustainability recognized by the governing body. F1 aims to continue building upon these reductions and make them the norm for carbon emissions in their 2024 season, with transport and logistics being a significant contributor to their overall carbon footprint.
