DHL delivers Formula E across the globe
DHL has announced a multiyear global partnership with the FIA Formula E Championship, the world’s first fully-electric car racing series beginning in September 2014. The announcement was made at the International Motorshow in Frankfurt (IAA) on September 10, 2013.
As the official logistics supplier and a founding partner of Formula E, DHL was responsible for the transportation of the vehicle from Paris to Frankfurt. The unveiling ceremony of the official Spark-Renault SRT_01E Formula E car took also place in Frankfurt.
"The FIA Formula E Championship is much more than just another motorsports series," said Ken Allen, CEO DHL Express. "It provides a global platform for promoting sustainability and the future of mobility, addressing one of the world’s most pressing challenges. As a pioneer in developing environmentally friendly logistics solutions, DHL is committed to the same future as Formula E. With our global environmental protection program GoGreen, we have already started to integrate e-mobility into our business. Now, we are proud to be embarking on this journey of further discovery and innovation together with the FIA Formula E Championship."
In the context of the Championship series, DHL will provide the FIA Formula E Championship with an extensive range of logistics services, incorporating the most efficient and green technology and processes available today. For ten race locations worldwide, DHL will ensure that all racing cars, spare parts and lithium-ion batteries are delivered safely and on time.
DHL has about 12,000 locations in more than 220 countries and about 285,000 employees, which makes the group one of the world’s leading logistics suppliers. The Deutsche Post DHL group covers three segments: DHL Express, DHL Global Forwarding, Freight and DHL Supply Chain. Group turnover in 2012 was more than EUR 55 billion.
