LONDON, U.K. — Formula E and DHL have announced a multi-year extension starting this season, to continue bringing the importance of sustainability to cities around the world.
“DHL helped bring Formula E to life and has been a valued partner ever since,” Matt Scammell, Chief Commercial Officer, Formula E, said. “We are delighted the relationship will continue as together we embark on the Gen3 era where we are racing at the very limit of innovation, pushing the boundaries of development in EV technology and defining the future of motorsport.
“DHL plays a critical function in the delivery of every race event around the world, pioneering cutting edge solutions in efficiency and sustainability, making them a perfect fit for the championship and our mission.”
DHL is the Official Founding Partner and has been the Official Logistics Partner of Formula E since 2013. With 40 years of international motorsport experience, DHL was instrumental in converting the concept of all-electric racing into reality with the inaugural race in Beijing one year later.
“Formula E is not just a sport, but also a vision of the future we can all be a part of,” Arjan Sissing, Head of Global Brand Marketing, Deutsche Post DHL Group, said. “We share that same vision of a greener future and are proud to be a founding and logistics partner of Formula E since its inception. Our years of partnership have been thrilling so far; working together to promote sustainability around the world. We look forward to continuing the green journey together.”
Since then, DHL has supported Formula E through the milestone 100th race which concluded last season in Seoul, Korea.
Season nine and the Gen3 era begins this Saturday with the 2023 Hankook Mexico City E-Prix.
