DHL uses biofuel in Formula 1 contract
DHL is introducing its first truck fleet running on biofuel, deploying 18 new trucks this season to support Formula 1 in its goal of becoming Net Zero by 2030.
THE NEW trucks, capable of running on HVO100 drop-in fuel (hydrotreated vegetable oil[1]), will be delivering at all European Formula 1 races in 2023. By doing so, each truck can reduce carbon emissions of minimum 60% when compared to standard fuels, with great potential for higher savings.
Paul Fowler, head of DHL Motorsports Logistics says: “Each truck can transport up to 40 tons and travel up to 3,500 kilometres per 1,000 litre tank. For the European F1 leg the trucks run entirely on HVO100, which is a second-generation biofuel, meeting the standard EN15940 for paraffin fuels, as well as a drop-in fuel.”
