Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team leads the grid on sustainability

Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 team announced 99% coverage of HVO100 biofuel across its European race and marketing truck logistics in 2025.

Marking the latest milestone in the team’s journey towards net-zero and building on the success from 2024, AMG has been increasing HVO100 coverage in internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks across the European races since 2022.

Head of sustainability Alice Ashpitel said: “Our sustainability strategy is built on innovation on and off the track, and the expansion of HVO100 across 99% of our European season’s race and marketing truck logistics is testament to this.

“Every kilometre travelled using biofuel moves us closer to Net Zero by 2040, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable high performance. We are proud to be driving change, not just on track, but across every part of our operations.

“In line with our ambition to become one of the most sustainable global professional sports teams, we are committed to achieving net-zero for total race team control emissions by 2030 and full net-zero across all scopes by 2040.”

Since the team’s initial pilot of HVO100 began with a trial during the 2022 season, it has avoided the emission of over 1,190 tCO2e across our European race and marketing truck logistics.

The team’s long-term ambitions are now to explore HVO100 usage in race locations outside of Europe and extend the use of the Mercedes-Benz Trucks e-fleet across future European seasons, reinforcing the role that Formula One can play as the world’s fastest test lab.
