DHL extends its global logistics partnership with the FIA WEC
It is not every day that a partnership reaches such a milestone, but the FIA WEC and DHL are proving that consistency is the bedrock of world-class racing. Since the inaugural 2012 campaign, this collaboration has been the silent engine moving the series across the globe. With the championship set to expand to nine rounds next season, this new multi-year agreement feels like a natural, yet significant, step forward.
The scale of this operation is, frankly, staggering. We are talking about moving 120 containers and managing up to seven dedicated aircraft charters per intercontinental leg, all while balancing the needs of the booming Hypercar category. It is a massive task that goes beyond simple freight; it involves handling alternative fuels, broadcast gear, and the very garage infrastructure these teams rely on. As Felix Heger, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding DECH, put it, they are creating the conditions for peak performance, both on and off-track.
What I find particularly fascinating is how this partnership is evolving to tackle the future. They are not just hauling equipment; they are actively integrating biofuel trucks and sustainable marine freight to lower the series' carbon footprint. It is a necessary evolution, one mirrored by the continued support for the DHL Sustainable Endurance Award, which keeps the pressure on teams to innovate in social and environmental responsibility. It is a robust, necessary marriage of logistics and racing that secures the future of the championship.
