(Bonn) DHL Freight has further improved the market coverage of Eurapid, its premium product for less-than-truckload (LTL), and added new options. The service is now bookable for 95 percent of all business addresses in 25 European countries. Not only are same-day pickups and delivery-before-12 available for even more postal code areas, but now there is also an optional delivery-before-10. However, the biggest innovation is that all services booked through Eurapid are now 100 percent environmentally friendly. The CO2 emissions caused by Eurapid shipments are fully offset through recognized climate protection projects, allowing customers to receive certified climate-neutral transport at no extra cost.
Demand for Eco-Friendly Solutions is Rising

To stay one step ahead of the competition, protecting the environment and sustainable action along the entire supply chain is essential. With DHL Freight Eurapid, our customers receive a state-of-the-art and eco-friendly premium service for less-than-truckload shipments,” explains Uwe Brinks, CEO of DHL Freight. “The new options are further evidence of our commitment to providing the highest quality, speed, and reliability with our services while simultaneously improving our ecological footprint.

DHL Freight Eurapid Goes Green
The backbone of DHL Freight Eurapid is the international Freight Euroconnect network: With more than 2,000 transport connections across Europe, the network represents a seamless and cost-efficient door-to-door service. As part of the innovations at Eurapid, DHL Freight can now offer its customers fully climate-neutral transport. The green option is automatically included and available at no additional cost in all services. The CO2 emissions generated for the handling and transport of a shipment, including upstream emissions for energy supply, are calculated using a verified measurement method. To offset these emissions, CO2 certificates from recognized climate protection projects are purchased, which reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. DHL Freight aims to contribute to certified climate neutrality along the customer’s supply chain with this initiative. The certification is based on the criteria of the “Clean Development Mechanism” of the Kyoto Protocol and meets CDM standards and/or carries the “Gold Standard” or “Voluntary Carbon Standard” in combination with “The Climate, Community and Biodiversity Project Design Standards.” The supported projects can be categorized into energy efficiency, renewable energies, and afforestation/reforestation and are selected in close collaboration with reliable partners such as Climate Partner and Climate Bridge.
