Formula E announced the relocation of its global logistics headquarters to the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia, Spain, marking a significant operational change.
This strategic shift combines with an ambitious expansion of the Circuit, transforming it into a state-of-the-art development center for the all-electric ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
Previously located at Britain’s Donington Park Circuit, the new global hub in Valencia presents a strategic breakthrough in logistical efficiency and sustainability for Formula E.
Its proximity to a major port optimizes freight routes throughout Europe and beyond, significantly enhancing Formula E‘s ability to leverage sustainability.

Formula E also opts for the location because of the shipping options. This includes the prioritization of ships powered by sustainable biofuels, in collaboration with the championship’s founding and official logistics partner, DHL.
The move underscores Formula E‘s unwavering commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship. The new location will also become the permanent test track and development center for the series, with dedicated offices and test sessions.
The Circuit will host track days, with current and previous generation cars in development, providing a unique opportunity for people to gain in-depth knowledge about the championship, explore electric vehicle technology and experience driving the cars first-hand.
In the initial relocation phase, the logistics base will be relocated to a temporary structure adjacent to the public entrance of the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, complemented by office space.
This arrangement will remain in place until the move to permanent office and warehouse space, providing Formula E with a dedicated facility that will centralize and streamline its transportation and technology development.
