A LONG-STANDING PARTNERSHIP
XPO Logistics, a leading provider of innovative and sustainable end-to-end logistics solutions across Europe, has brought its know-how to the Tour de France for nearly 50 years, as well as the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift since its launch in 2022. Every race day calls for pinpoint organisation: start villages and finish lines are set up in 4 to 5 hours, intermediate points in 3, and everything is taken down within hours before moving on to the next stage. This well-oiled process is made possible by the experience and expertise of its drivers, who can handle deliveries even in extreme conditions and on the narrowest mountain passes.
In addition to the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, XPO Logistics is the Official Transport Partner of twelve other major cycling events organised by Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO): Paris–Nice, Paris–Nice Challenge, Paris–Roubaix, Paris–Roubaix Femmes avec Zwift, Paris–Roubaix Challenge, La Flèche Wallonne, La Flèche Wallonne Femmes, Liège–Bastogne–Liège, Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes, the Critérium du Dauphiné, L'Étape du Tour de France and Paris–Tours.
A SHARED COMMITMENT TO INNOVATION AND THE SUSTAINABLE TRANSITION
A pioneer in more sustainable transport, XPO Logistics will continue to roll out its LESS® HVO solution, based on the use of HVO biofuel distributed through its own fuel tank network, in 2025. This biofuel slashes CO₂ emissions by up to 90%. The solution prevented 223,370 kg of CO₂ emissions last year. Vehicles comply with Euro 6 standards, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 70%. The measures will be implemented in the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift at the same time, reflecting a shared commitment to ever more responsible events.
Thomas Cariou, CSR Director, Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO)
"We're delighted to be able to count on the expertise of XPO Logistics as we take on the logistical challenge of combining operational reliability with the high standards of sustainability required to stage a travelling event on the scale of the Tour. Together, we continue to innovate and raise the bar year after year, notably through the rollout of HVO biofuel across the entire truck fleet, which underscores our shared commitment to progress in both the Tour de France and the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift."
Luis Gómez, President, XPO Logistics Europe:
"We're honoured to extend our role as Official Transport Partner through 2030, as we approach nearly 50 years of collaboration.

For over 45 years, we’ve shared with the teams of the Tour de France the same drive for excellence, innovation and responsibility. This long-standing partnership reflects our values and our ability to support major events in their sustainable transitions."
