The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motorsports and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, has announced a comprehensive partnership with the logistics company DHL. The collaboration is designed to l enhance operational efficiency across FIA events while reducing emissions over the racing season.

As Global Logistics Partner, DHL will manage the transport, installation and maintenance of key FIA infrastructure across the FIA's Formula 1, Formula 2 and Formula 3 championships. This includes FIA trackside infrastructure such as Mobile Office Units and Garages, as well as race-critical equipment.

And also as part of the agreement, DHL will deploy seven trucks for European logistics, each powered by hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), which are designed to cut emissions by up to 83% compared to conventional fuels. 

DHL will support the sport to deliver the rationalised calendar that has been developed to create a geographical flow of races, thereby reducing travel distances across the season and enabling the use of lower-carbon freight solutions. "These efforts contribute directly to the FIA's ambition to halve its carbon footprint by 2030 compared to its 2019 baseline," an organization release stated.
