“Our biggest challenges this year are the change of customs regulations following Brexit, (…), the development of infrastructure countrywide, the zero-carbon emissions goal and the DHL GO GREEN activities to protect the environment,” the DHL officials say.

DHL is also handling shipments of vaccine to Romania and throughout the world. It plans to make investments in upgrading operational hubs and in aircraft with a higher transport capacity to be able to handle constantly rising volumes.

The investment plan for the next five years entails investments in all its locations in Romania and in the terminals in airports. This year it will invest in its centers in Constanta, Bacau and Suceava to improve working conditions, services provided and compliance with environmental protection regulations, the DHL representatives added.

DHL’s e-commerce-related revenue rose by more than 100% year-on-year in 2020 and the growth trend will continue this year, they said.

DHL Romania includes DHL Express (logistics and parcel delivery by plane) and the Freight division, which makes deliveries by road.
