By railroad to the racetrack

[ October 19, 2023   //   Chris Lewis ]

Ceva Logistics has moved equipment for Scuderia Ferrari’s F1 Formula 1 team by rail in North America in an effort to reduce carbon emissions.

Packed in six 53-foot containers, it moved 2,000 miles from Montreal, Canada, to Austin, Texas, and will travel another nearly 2,000 miles from Austin to Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ceva’s project team calculated that the solution incorporating rail segments between the three F1 races reduced carbon emissions by 90% compared to the equivalent journey by air and 32% by truck.

As Scuderia Ferrari’s logistics provider since 2022, Ceva – part of the CMA CGM Group  – will move F1 equipment kits over 130,000 miles in 2023.
