performance on track<\/a>, we are incredibly proud that our innovations travel beyond the grid. The use of the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 trucks, initially piloted at our home race in July, and then used to transport our race cars to Zandvoort, is another important step in our decarbonisation journey.\u201d<\/p>\nAs standard, the trucks have a range of more than 500km <\/p>\n

Ash Armstrong, eConsultancy manager at Daimler Truck UK, said: \u201cWe are continuing to push the boundaries of what is possible with battery electric trucks. Our partnership with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team is key in demonstrating that sustainable, long-haul distribution has arrived with our eActros 600.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe could not be more thrilled that one of our eActros 600 trucks has been used to transport the team\u2019s W16 cars from Brackley, UK to Zandvoort, Holland. We are extremely proud to showcase the impressive range and capability of this truck. It just goes to show that the era of electrification is upon us and range anxiety is no longer an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the team\u2019s eco-conscious ambitions, a bio-based carbon fiber composite featured for the first time at this weekend\u2019s Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The new material was used for the rear brake duct wheel shields and features a resin developed with 30% bio-based materials. <\/p>\n
Ashpitel added: \u201cWe are proud to be powering sustainable innovation within Formula One, introducing sustainable carbon fibre composites on a technically performant component. This project with Syensqo highlights our commitment to reduce our environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy integrating bio-based resin within a carbon fibre composite material, we are setting a new benchmark for the future of motorsport and beyond. The fact that these materials have been derived from by-products associated with the creation of bio-diesel is an added benefit and indicates the power of advanced sustainable fuels.”<\/p>\n

Rodrigo Elizondo, president of Syensqo Composite Materials commented: \u201cWe are pleased to see our project with Mercedes come to life on the W16 race car. Our bio-based resin technology represents a significant step forward in sustainable materials innovation.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy replacing traditional petroleum-based components with those derived from renewable sources, we are not only introducing circularity in our product design but also paving the way for future innovations. We are very pleased to see this material applied in such a high-performing environment, showcasing its potential for broader applications.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The team is looking to reduce its environmental impact in all facets of the business Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156180,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[71468,8077,1214,1687,18827,372,7318,6537,6964,18965,71467,3004,101,39081,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-156179","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-f1","8":"tag-amg","9":"tag-brad-pitt","10":"tag-electric-cars","11":"tag-f1","12":"tag-f1-movie","13":"tag-formula-1","14":"tag-formula-one","15":"tag-formula1","16":"tag-mercedes","17":"tag-mercedes-benz","18":"tag-petronas","19":"tag-racing","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-trucks","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom","24":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
