Performance under pressure isn't unique to Formula 1
Every race depends on precision, visibility and flawless coordination across
thousands of moving parts. Today's supply chains demand exactly the same
capabilities.
Working alongside the McLaren Formula 1 Team gives DP World a global platform to
demonstrate how integrated logistics helps businesses respond faster, reduce
disruption and keep operations moving.
HIGH PERFORMANCE LOGISTICS
KEEPING PERFORMANCE ON TRACK
When every second matters, logistics has to perform flawlessly. DP World worked with the McLaren Formula 1 Team to transport critical race equipment through smarter, lower-carbon logistics solutions, ensuring everything arrived on time for Formula 1's inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The Solution
Leveraging our comprehensive multi-modal network, we utilised a combination of bio-fuel and electric-powered trucks and diesel-electric rail to ensure 1,500 tons of the team’s critical equipment was delivered on time, allowing the team to focus on their core mission of achieving excellence on track. This was the first time an electric truck of this kind was used in F1 race logistics.
Outcomes
The electric trucks produce no tailpipe emissions and emit 47% less carbon emissions across their lifecycle than their diesel counterparts. Using biofuel instead of fossil diesel on this route emitted 75% less carbon emissions.
CROSS-BORDER EV LOGISTICS
ACCELERATING CROSS-BORDER EV LOGISTICS
As international EV exports accelerated, this leading Chinese EV manufacturer required a reliable, high-frequency logistics solution that could reduce transit times while maintaining vehicle quality across borders.
The Solution
DP World implemented an integrated door-to-door logistics solution combining rail, road, customs and cross-border operations through a single coordinated network.
Outcomes
- End-to-end delivery from China to Laos through a single integrated solution.
- Reduced transit time to just 10 days using an optimised rail-road network.
- Enhanced vehicle protection with specialised rail container securing systems.
- Improved supply chain responsiveness through reliable, high-frequency services.
- Ensured smooth, damage-free final-mile vehicle handovers.
FINISHED VEHICLE LOGISTICS
SCALING FINISHED VEHICLE LOGISTICS
As vehicle import volumes increased, Toyota Motor Vietnam needed a scalable logistics solution that could support growth while maintaining quality, compliance and operational efficiency.
