DHL now delivering to trunks of VW cars in Berlin
DHL Parcel and Volkswagen are launching a joint pilot project in Berlin which will see DHL staff delivering parcels to the trunks of VW cars. In a statement issued today (9 September), Deutsche Post DHL Group said that Volkswagen will deploy 50 VW Polos that selected customers can use as mobile addresses for their DHL parcel deliveries.
The selected participants will receive a VW Polo that they can use to test the service for four weeks. The vehicles are already fitted with the required equipment for in-car delivery, called “We Deliver.”
“Since we’ve already tested car drop delivery successfully in other projects in Germany and continue to offer it for Smart drivers, we’re pleased to win Volkswagen as another partner – our partnership allows us to offer this attractive service to an even broader target group,” said Achim Dünnwald, CEO of DHL Parcel.
