Racing teams around the globe rely on JAS Worldwide's Motorsport Logistics team based in Luxembourg, to meet the demanding deadlines faced by a championship motorsport organization. Motor racing is a very competitive and demanding sport and when customers in this field need something they usually need it fast because there is so much at stake.
Based on dimensions and origin of the vehicle, the JAS Motorsport Logistics team determines the best airlines to contact for the most competitive rate while maintaining the highest quality of service. JAS takes into consideration the type of aircraft the airline is operating, whether it’s a freighter service where the vehicle will ride on the main deck, or whether the vehicle can fit onto the lower deck on a passenger aircraft.
JAS race team customers are extremely active so there is tremendous pressure to move cars from course to course in a timely fashion. A typical example was when a high performance race car had to be moved from Scotland to Melbourne within a 5 day window. With this kind of schedule and the value of the cars involved, it’s no wonder that discriminating race teams rely on JAS Motorsport Logistics for their valuable cargo moves.

Racing teams worldwide rely on the JAS Worldwide Motorsport Logistics team based in Luxembourg to meet the demanding deadlines faced by a championship motorsport organization.
This past December, JAS organized the movement and transport of four RS Q e-tron cars and a bit more than 7 tons of accessories and equipment from Luxembourg to Riyadh for the account of AUDI Sport & Q Motorsport Gmbh. The high-tech electric prototype vehicles were used as a part of the 2022 Dakar Rallye, which was held in Saudi Arabia from January 1–14, 2022.
The team is currently in the process of transporting several of the cars back to Luxembourg now that the event is over.
Congratulations to the JAS Motorsports team! People continue to make the difference.
JAS takes pride in making a difference for our customers. Therefore, when a customer reached out to our team needing to move photovoltaic modules for aircraft the JAS Energy Solutions team in Brazil created a customized solution for this unique shipment.
Photovoltaic modules provide a sustainable energy source for powering aircraft. The team, with the support of the JAS Logistics Agent in Fortaleza, began moving the modules in November 2022 and has since cleared over half of the shipment.
In total, there will be 57 shipments (615 containers), totaling 10,421 pallets of solar panels destined for new solar plants in the state of Ceará.
Brazil added more than 9 GW of solar power in 2022, which is the best year in the history of the sector, with a growth of more than 80% compared to 2021. Today, Ceará is the second largest energy producer in Brazil.
