Formula E and DHL revealed that they transported teams and championship freight using DHL’s GoGreen Plus service, leveraging the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for air freight.
The travel using SAF started in Berlin, where has been made the last race, to the race in Shanghai. Approximately 257 tons of freight have been transported through SAF between the two iconic cities, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% when compared to kerosene aviation fuel.
The individual flight trip of over 6,000 miles, completed three planes, leverages DHL Global Forwarding’s GoGreen Plus service via an insetting approach. This is the latest initiative in a decade-long partnership, spanning 127 races – with both organisations working together in revolutionising sustainable motorsport and logistics.
SAF is produced from waste sources like used cooking oil and food waste. DHL employs an insetting approach via the Book & Claim system, enabling cutting emissions directly at the source. Air carriers use these sustainable biofuels on behalf of DHL, resulting in emission reductions. These reductions are then transferred to DHL and allocated to shippers as certificates.
Other initiatives include the optimisation of sustainable biofuels in road and ocean freight, as well as efficient regional clustering of races throughout the season.
With an extensive global operations and logistics network, DHL utilises its multimodal transport system to ensure all freight is delivered on time and as sustainably as possible, ensuring the smooth delivery and execution of races and events enjoyed by hundreds of millions of fans around the world.
