DHL Brings Formula E, Back to China with Lower Environmental Impact
DHL is delivering Formula E to Shanghai, China--
As a global leader in sustainability initiatives, China has set ambitious goals to tackle climate change and promote electric mobility. The Chinese government has implemented various policies to incentivize the adoption of electric vehicles, including the extension of tax exemption policy for new energy vehicles until 2027. As a result, the economic powerhouse has also emerged as a leading electric vehicles (EVs) supplier. By hosting the Formula E race this year, China is showcasing its leadership in electric vehicle innovation and dedication to encouraging the adoption of clean transportation solutions.
DHL at the forefront of sustainable logistics
Being a trailblazer in sustainable logistics, DHL has made substantial investments in alternative fuel vehicles, energy-efficient buildings, and renewable energy sources to reduce its carbon footprint. DHL Group was the first logistics company to set a measurable carbon efficiency target and reduce its CO2 emissions from 33 million metric tons in 2020 to below 29 million tons by 2030. As part of this sustainability roadmap, DHL also aims to achieve 60% electrification of the last-mile delivery fleet.
Across China, DHL Global Forwarding has implemented various initiatives to reduce its environmental impact. It has a fleet of over 250 electric and hydrogen vehicles in the country, covering more than 320,000 miles each month.
In China, DHL Express had achieved 26% fleet electrification by 2023, and has currently over 50,000 GoGreen Plus customers. It also introduced a fleet of hydrogen energy trucks with local partners for long haul operations in Shanghai, making China the first among the 220 countries and territories within DHL Express network to do so.
"Formula E is the pioneer in electric street racing, and Shanghai is the perfect venue to showcase China's prowess in electric mobility solutions. Our longstanding partnership with Formula E goes beyond logistics support, as we also lend our expertise in customs regulations and procedures to ensure timely clearance of a multitude of Formula E equipment and infrastructure. We are also proud of our expanded partnership through GoGreen Plus that we can bring this race to Shanghai even more sustainably," said Piak Hwee Tan, Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing, Asia Pacific, DHL Global Forwarding.
