From zero to 100

DHL, the Official Logistics Partner of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), proudly celebrates a major milestone: the delivery of the 100th WEC race, taking place at Fuji Speedway from September 26-28. Since the championship’s inception in 2012, DHL has been the driving force behind the global logistics operations of one of the world’s most demanding motorsport series – with a growing emphasis on sustainability in recent years.

To date, DHL has transported over 45,000 metric tons of car, broadcast, hospitality, and infrastructure equipment across multiple regions – including 500 race cars, 500,000 racing tires, and 1.5 million liters of fuel.

DHL’s multimodal logistics solutions combine air, sea, and land freight, tailored to the specific needs of each race. With a focus on sustainability, DHL prioritizes ocean freight over air transport, leveraging sustainable maritime fuel to reduce greenhouse has (GHG) emissions. In Europe, road freight is supported by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)-powered trucks, further minimizing the environmental impact — all without compromising reliability or performance.

These efforts have helped FIA WEC to reduce its environmental footprint, reflecting a shared commitment with DHL to decarbonize motorsports logistics. Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of six motorsports logistics specialists ensures that every shipment arrives safely and on time, while also managing customs clearance and other critical transport processes.
