Green strategy underpins DHL contract win
Several sustainability initiatives underlie Petroplus Bitumen's renewed £30m contract with DHL Supply Chain, according to Supply Chain Digital.The contract was awarded to DHL following a nine year relationship, formerly with BP Bitumen for seven years; then with Petroplus Bitumen since its acquisition of BP Bitumen two years ago.
DHL expects to cut fuel costs by £90,000 a year as well as improving sustainability. Initiatives include governing vehicles to 53mph (85kph) with gear and valve resetting to match top speed, as well as plans to maximise load size to enable fewer deliveries.
Adam Franklin, Managing Director, energy, environment and technology, DHL Supply Chain , said in a statement: "In the next term of our relationship we plan to build on our already superior standards and bring in schemes to help the company save money and reduce its environmental impact."
