In Germany, Mercedes have revealed that they successfully powered their European season on HVO100 biofuel, achieving 98% coverage in race and marketing trucks and generators, and saving more than 500 metric tons of CO2e.
Working with Title and Technical Partner PETRONAS and their logistics partners, Mercedes set a target to extend their use of biofuels during the nine 2024 European races.
Their aforementioned savings – despite the current complexities of the supply chain across Europe – are an uplift from the 74% biofuel coverage achieved over the 2023 campaign’s European leg.
It underlines Mercedes’s ambition to become “one of the most sustainable global professional sports teams” and takes them closer to goal target for Race Team Control Net Zero by 2030, while forming part of their wider sustainable fuels strategy.
As F1 scale their sustainable centralized power solution for European races in 2025, Mercedes will continue to drive use of sustainable fuels and make progress in extending biofuel use to their flyaway races next season.
