DHL has been named the Global Logistics Partner for the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the governing body for world motorsport and the federation for mobility organisations globally. The partnership covers transport, set-up, and maintenance of the FIA’s mobile office units, garages, and racetrack signalling equipment for Formula 1, Formula 2, and Formula 3 events worldwide.
In Europe, DHL will operate seven trucks powered by hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) as part of a shared commitment to sustainability. The collaboration will focus on implementing sustainable practices and reducing emissions, while ensuring the seamless delivery of critical race infrastructure.
DHL also continues as the Official Logistics Partner of Formula 1, Formula E, and the World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Paul Fowler, Head of Global Motorsports Logistics at DHL, said: “The FIA is a long-standing pillar of the motorsport community, so taking the role as its Global Logistics Partner is a great match for us. Our connection extends beyond the track. We share essential values such as safety, quality, speed, and precision, and we are both deeply committed to sustainability. Together, we champion alternative power sources and groundbreaking drive technologies that help reduce emissions along with regionalisation of racing calendars.”
FIA Chief Commercial Officer, Craig Edmondson, added: “This partnership with DHL is a great opportunity to collaborate not only on the vital behind-the-scenes work that goes on at any track event, but also to drive sustainable practices across our industry. Pushing for greater sustainability across both motor sport and mobility is a priority for the FIA, and we are constantly seeking to embed this ethos into our ways of working, including our relationships with commercial partners.”
