EUR 20 million for growth and fleet
DPD Austria has already poured around EUR 40 million into growing its business over the last four years. Further major investments are now planned.
EUR 9 million will be invested in sustainability: DPD plans to purchase 50 e-vehicles and install photovoltaic systems in selected depots. EUR 11 million have been earmarked for the addition of 200 parcel shops to expand the depot network.
Conveyer technology in eight of the branches will also be upgraded to speed up sorting performance by around 30,000 parcels per hour.
The investments are a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the ensuing rise in demand for parcel deliveries. DPD will increase its delivery rounds by 25% to a total of 1,500 nationwide this year. (ben)
