“While we are on the right track of performance, we are incredibly proud that our innovations go beyond the network.
“The use of the Mercedes-Benz Trucks Eactros 600, which was initially piloted in July at our home race, is another important step on our decarbonization trip.”
High -performance sectors such as motorsport rely on closely managed logistics plans.
Mercedes F1's decision to use a battery -high HGV indicates that trust in the electrical area, reliability and compatibility with the requirements of the race day has growing trust in the electrical reach, reliability and compatibility.
From biofuels to electrical logistics
The electric car rollout follows a long period of Mercedes F1's emission reduction initiatives.
In 2022, the Team HVO100, a renewable diesel of waste fats and oils, piled up and reached a cover of 98% biofuel for racing and marketing trucks during the 2024 season.
This shift has contributed to avoiding more than 500 tons of CO₂E emissions.
Formula 1 as a whole reduced its total -CO2 footprint from 228,793 tons of CO₂E in 2018 to 168,720 tons in 2024.
However, since global logistics still make a significant part of the emissions, individual teams now take control of the emissions of areas 3, indirect emissions in the value chain, including transport.
Mercedes says: “HVO100's rejection was an important step to help us decarbonize our logistics, and the ability to encounter in electric vehicles will further reduce our emissions and improve air quality.
