Formula E extends DHL deal

Formula E has inked a multi-year extension of its partnership with global logistics firm DHL. The extension of the partnership will see DHL continue on as the Official Founding and Logistics Partner of the Formula E series.

DHL and Formula E first partnered back in 2014. The new deal will see the logistics firm continue to provide support to the series, transporting the series’ freight and also the race cars, charging modules, batteries and media and broadcasting hardware. DHL will also help Formula E with its multi-modal transport strategy, which works towards reducing CO2 emissions.

The new deal will also see DHL gain exclusive rights to the Together Green Award, which recognises sustainability protagonists. The upcoming season will also see the first-ever award to be open for global nominations for individuals and organisations. The winner will be awarded during the end-of-season award show in Seoul, South Korea. 

Arjan Sissing, Head of Global Brand Marketing at Deutsche Post DHL Group, commented:

“Deutsche Post DHL Group will be investing 7 billion euros in clean operations and climate-neutral logistics through 2030, which includes major investments in its fleet of e-vehicles. This – along with our goal to achieve zero-emission logistics by 2050 – is a major, industry-leading commitment on the part of DHL. But we also recognise that the small incremental developments and steps – the everyday engagement and commitment on the part of individuals and organisations around the globe – are so important to moving the needle. The DHL & Formula E Together Green Award is meant to call attention to these heroes and hopefully amplify the impact they are having.

Jamie Reigle, CEO, Formula E, added:

DHL has been an integral partner to Formula E from inception and we are delighted to extend and enhance our collaboration. Transporting the freight is a fundamental aspect of the running of Formula E and DHL continues to do so with a passion for driving forward new sustainable measures which have relevance throughout the logistics industry. The new DHL & Formula E Together Green Award will elevate our partnership to a new level by providing a renewed platform to showcase sustainable initiatives at every race weekend. We look forward to working with DHL to set the standard in sustainable logistics for sport and inspire fans around the world to take action to fight climate change.
