SMART LOGISTICS WITH THE McLAREN FORMULA 1 TEAM

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.

Our global reach and capabilities allow us to bridge the most complex supplier networks in Formula 1 and beyond.
From next generation blockchain technology to seamlessly connected multi-modal solutions, we consult with the McLaren Racing Team to deliver efficiently and sustainably, so they’re always race ready.

HOW WE CONSULT ON McLAREN RACING’S LOGISITICS ROUTES

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.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

TRANSPORTING McLAREN RACING FREIGHT MORE SUSTAINABLY

We supported the McLaren Formula 1 Team in transporting essential race kit 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 utilised 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.
