10 Days to go!!
Formula E cars depart for Beijing
Donington|02 Sep 14
Preparations for the season opener of the all-electric FIA Formula E Championship moved another step closer today as the cars, batteries and equipment began their journey to Beijing.
The 40 Spark-Renault SRT_01E Formula E cars, together with their sensitive lithium-ion Williams batteries, and all the teams’ spare parts and equipment are being transported by the series’ Official Logistics Partner DHL.
Starting from Formula E’s operational headquarters at Donington Park, the cargo will be transported via DHL’s hub at East Midlands Airport – just a stone’s throw away – before arriving in Beijing in plenty of time for the first race on September 13.
DHL is the world’s leading logistics company, and a pioneer in green logistics solutions. For Beijing and all subsequent Formula E races, DHL will draw on its unique background of over 30 years’ of motorsport logistics experience, combined with industry leading solutions in the area of sustainability and green optimization. Of course, it will also transport the cars and infrastructure in a highly efficient manner and minimise the carbon footprint used wherever possible.
