In the UK, Formula 1 has announced that DHL’s new fleet of trucks running on biofuel reduced carbon emissions by an average of 83% compared to fuel-driven trucks during the European leg of the 2023 F1 season.
Across the nine European rounds, 18 trucks were powered by HVO100 drop-in fuel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and travelled more than 10,600 km, transporting an average of 300 tons of vital freight per race, F1 said.
F1 noted that these trucks maintain the same level of performance in terms of load capacity and travel distance as their diesel counterparts and each truck in the DHL fleet is equipped with GPS to monitor fuel consumption and optimize more efficient routes.
“It is great to see how our logistics operations can transform to achieve our Net Zero by 2030 goal,” said Ellen Jones, Head of Environment, Social and Governance at F1.
