During the European part of the season, all Mercedes team trailers transporting equipment and vehicles between stages will use 100% renewable biofuel.
Petronas engineers calculate that by using their second-generation HVO 100 biofuel, CO2 emissions per kilometer traveled from semi-trailers should be reduced by 89%, resulting in a reduction in the team’s overall emissions of more than 60%. %.
Toto Wolff, team principal: “We need to use the global Formula 1 platform to be more than leaders – we want to be pioneers. Working with our title and technical partner Petronas, we believe sustainable fuels are at the heart of the team’s strategy to reduce the largest emitters and reach net zero by 2030.
By working together, we are fully committed to sustainable high performance. Reducing emissions by 89% for every kilometer driven by our trucks this summer will be a real achievement.”
