Mercedes F1 team deploys HVO 100 to cut emissions

The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team has announced 99% coverage of HVO 100 biofuel across its European race and marketing truck logistics in 2025.
Marking the latest milestone in the journey towards net-zero and building on success from 2024, the company has been increasing HVO 100 coverage in its trucks across the European races since 2022.
Since the initial pilot of HVO 100 began with a trial during the 2022 season, Mercedes-AMG has avoided the emission of over 1,190 tCO2e across its European race and marketing truck logistics.2
Alice Ashpitel, head of sustainability, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, 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.”
