Deutsche Post DHL has expanded its fleet of about 8,500 vehicles with alternative drive systems and aerodynamic modifications.
In the UK, DHL introduced 63 new dual-fuel trucks that run on diesel and natural gas. The total fleet in the UK now comprises 95 in total with another 50 of these trucks on order. By adding to their green fleet, the Group not only acts in an environmentally friendly way, but also saves costs by using less diesel. DHL Supply Chain UK now houses a dedicated state-of-the-art liquefied natural gas refueling station at its Bawtry campus near Sheffield for its dual fuel vehicles.
“Adding these new vehicles for heavy load transport is another step in offering our customers green solutions along the entire supply chain,” says Frank Appel, CEO Deutsche Post DHL. “It’s good for everyone: our customers benefit by reducing their carbon footprint, and it brings the Group closer to its goal of increasing its carbon efficiency by 30 percent by 2020.”
