DHL Parcel has invested to upgrade its truck and trailer fleet.
DHL Parcel, an internationally renowned express delivery company, has invested 6.7 million pounds (about 7.6 million euros) to upgrade it's truck and trailer fleet in order to increase its transportation capacity.
The investment includes 45 Volvo tractors, 24 Volvo individual vehicle and 29 Don-Bur double-deck trailers. DHL Parcel said they want to ensure that their fleet has a first-class vehicle that can handle larger quantities of goods.
Don-Bur is a well-known British trailer manufacturer. It is understood that the double-deck trailer they delivered to DHL Parcel is twice the capacity of a conventional trailer, allowing DHL Parcel to transport more courier packages with fewer vehicles.
In addition to its larger capacity, the vehicle is also equipped with the EcoStream aerodynamic front curved roof. This design can be reported to save up to 16% fuel compared to a standard roof.
"Investing in our fleet is a must for business growth, and equipment upgrades are an important part. This ensures that our drivers can drive the most advanced vehicles while also ensuring the safety of drivers and the public." DHL Parcel Operations Vice President Scott Laird said.
