DHL partners with world's fastest motor sport series

DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight specialist within Deutsche Post DHL, returns as the official Logistics Partner of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship. The company signed an agreement for the world's fastest motorsport series starting this month, after previously being involved for three years. DHL Global Forwarding will be managing the transportation of the lightweight racing planes, spare parts, fuel and other racing equipment such as television and broadcasting equipment for the global racing series. After taking a break for three years, the series returns in 2014 with a new season and its first stop in Abu Dhabi on February 28.

“We are very pleased that the Red Bull Air Race returns to the global stage and proud to once again be the logistics partner. The series embraces speed, precision and skill on a global scale at the highest level – attributes that are at the core of our business. By means of our sport logistics experience we're happy to bring the series to the next level”, says Roger Crook, CEO DHL Global Forwarding.
