Formula 1®
DHL is proud to be the longest-standing global partner of Formula 1®. For nearly 40 years, DHL has ensured the smooth delivery of up to 1,400 metric tons of race cars, fuel, and equipment to race venues around the world. As Official Logistics Partner since 2004, DHL staffs a team of motorsports logistics specialists who work closely with Formula 1® Management and the teams to ensure seamless logistical support for races and official test runs. What’s more, DHL make operations as sustainable as possible. Our extensive experience in green logistics always seeks new ways to reduce F1’s carbon footprint and overall environmental impact.
MotoGP™
As Official Logistics Partner since 2015, DHL is proud to manage the logistics for MotoGP™, Moto2™ and Moto3™. Working closely with Dorna Sports and the various teams and suppliers, our motorsport logistics team ensures that 350 tons of critical equipment and supplies arrive intact and on time for each of the 21 championship races that are spread across five continents. It’s a huge undertaking, requiring everything from temperature-controlled transport of finely tuned bikes and meticulous packing to the handling of fragile parts and customs clearance support. Our expertise streamlines the complex process whilst also ensuring there are no delays along the way.
ABB FIA Formula E
The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is the world’s first ever net zero carbon sport. Over the years, Formula E has grown significantly, attracting millions of fans around the world with its fully-electric cars that reach impressive speeds without the environmental toll. It comes as no surprise, of course, as it generates the same hair-raising excitement of any motorsport. Everyone can experience the thrill, drama, and adrenaline rush of every turn with the cars racing for the lead in urban environments of some of the world’s most iconic cities.
FIA WTCR
Pushing everyday cars with everyday engines to their absolute limits, the FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) is one of the fastest growing and most spectacular motorsport series in the world. It might look like a standard car, but these vehicles deliver something unique to every race. Drivers compete on both street tracks and specially designed circuits, including some of the world’s most iconic venues such as Macau, Nürburgring Nordschleife, Suzuka, and Vila Real.
FIA WEC
What do you get when you cross Grand Prix racing with the Ironman Triathlon? The World Endurance Championship (WEC). Welcome to non-stop death-defying speeds, superhuman stamina, colossal races that last between six and 24 hours and the world's best endurance drivers in the world’s fastest cars around some of the most iconic tracks – from Silverstone to Spa, from Sebring to Le Mans.
Manchester United
From kick-off to the last goal, DHL is proud to bring its decades of experience to support Manchester United’s logistical needs. A giant in the football community, DHL is off pitch organizing everyday courier service, shipping tour equipment and merchandise distribution for the Manchester United Megastore. At the same time, DHL leverages the club's popularity for its own marketing activities globally, particularly in the Americas, Middle East, and Asia, where the club’s following is particularly strong.
Fast Track
What’s that tune? It’s the sound of DHL supporting the hottest, emerging artists on their music journey, helping to deliver their distinctive sound to new audiences across the globe. We’re making dreams come true by getting fans closer to the artists they love with unforgettable musical moments, with intimate performances, unique content, eco-initiatives and more.
Rugby
The HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series annual championship showcases the world’s top rugby teams in a dynamic, fast-moving format. Instead of 15 players per team playing 40 minutes per half, Rugby 7s features two teams of just seven players going full throttle for a brief seven minutes per half. With all the thrills of world-class rugby condensed into this supercharged format, it’s no wonder the HSBC Sevens Series has rapidly become one of international rugby’s must-see events.
ESL
Power on and play! DHL has been Official Logistics Partner of ESL – the world’s largest esports organizer – since 2018. For over two decades, ESL has impacted the lives of millions of fans by transporting them to extraordinary experiences and always pushing them to become the best in the virtual field. ESL organizes leagues and tournaments for some of the major esports titles such as Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), Clash of Clans and League of Legends: Wild Rift. Such events demand huge deliveries that include nearly 700 tonnes of staging, 900 gaming chairs and over 3,500m2 of screens to venues all over the world.
Fashion

Gewandhausorchester
"content": "The Gewandhausorchester is among the world’s oldest and most prestigious orchestras, as well as the world’s largest traveling orchestra. Some 185 Gewandhausorchester musicians spend a third of their year performing at concert halls around the globe, and DHL is with them every step of the way, keeping the ensemble in rhythm throughout its impressive touring schedule.
BSD
"content": "As the world leader in logistics, DHL is proud to partner with Germany’s Bobsleigh, Luge and Skeleton Federation (BSD), the world #1 in bobsleigh. This sport combines raw power, speed, and finesse like no other sport. It sees elite athletes in high-tech sleds barrelling down icy tracks at speeds of up to 150 km/h, withstanding 5Gs of force as they steer the perfect line through breakneck turns. There is no doubt that Team Germany dominates the ice tunnel. If you don’t believe us, the world-class team won 9 of 10 possible gold medals at the last Olympic Winter Games 2022 in Beijing.
