Smart Logistics at Every Turn
With a year-round calendar and a truly global footprint, Formula 1 is a sport that reflects the nature of our business. Through our partnership with McLaren Racing, we deliver the ingredients that make racing possible.
We identified a multi-modal transportation route that enables us to have a more environmentally friendly approach. For example, shifting from road to rail or sea for long-haul transport can significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to using trucks for the entire journey.
High-performance teams are always looking for the marginal gains to stay ahead. Just like a pit stop on the track, success in logistics requires agility and precision. Crucially, these strategic pauses allow us to recalibrate, optimise and build resilience.
The fast-paced, high-stakes world of Formula 1 mirrors the dynamic challenges of modern logistics, showcasing how teamwork and adaptability fuel success. Explore the parallels in the recent business transformation of DP World and McLaren.
Our latest conversation with the McLaren team dives into how innovation and technology drive problem-solving and strategic planning in the worlds of F1 and logistics.
Adaptability, precision and resilience are critical to success in both F1 and logistics. In the final episode of At Every Turn with McLaren Racing, we explore how marginal gains and innovative mindset help them navigate constant change to achieve global ambitions.
The DP World F1 partnership supported the McLaren Formula 1 Team in transporting essential race kits via smarter and more sustainable pathways from the Circuit of The Americas to Formula 1’s inaugural race in Las Vegas.
Leveraging our comprehensive multi-modal network, we utilized a combination of bio-fuelled and electric 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.
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.
"Our partnership with DP World is an important one, with the DP World team playing a big part in helping us to move our racing team around the world in the most efficient way possible. We’re delighted to work closely with them as we see our partnership go from strength to strength.”
