DHL Parcel is investing £6.7 million in an upgrade to its fleet of trucks and trailers to gain additional handling capacity to support future growth.

Scott Laird, vice-president of Operations, DHL Parcel, said: ‘The investment in our fleet is part of the infrastructure upgrade the business requires to support growth. However, this is also an opportunity to ensure drivers are equipped with the latest technology to ensure their safety and that of the public.’

DHL has also expanded its sustainable fleet by introducing the Goupil electric vehicle in Rotterdam and Utrecht in the Netherlands. ‘Both Rotterdam and Utrecht have a clear ambition when it comes to emission-free transport and DHL is happy to respond,’ said the company in a statement.
