The operator will use daily three Mercedes-Benz CNG vans “ideal for inner-city transport”, which will cover a distance of 270 – 300 km per day. “DPD is constantly looking for new opportunities when it comes to creating a sustainable environment, both in terms of transport as in distribution sites,” said the company through a statement.
Moreover, van Ooijen said: “Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe see a future in ‘green’ driving and because of that Joure is the ideal location for this CNG project. DPD wants to contribute to the realisation of these counties’ ambition to have a hundred thousand vehicles running on sustainable fuels by 2015.”
DPD Netherlands is an international parcel delivery service, from classic parcels to express deliveries, and reaches the 2 million parcels daily. Holwerda Distributie en Transport is responsible for the DPD parcel delivery within the catchment area of Friesland operating from the depot in Joure.
