Ecologic and economic: DPD CLASSIC - an attractive alternative
Did you know that for about 70 per cent of the goods which are transported within Europe it is not crucial in the end whether they are shipped by road, by water or in the air?
So what’s the point of selecting air freight when transport by road is both more sustainable and less expensive? DPD is in an ideal position to provide such a service with a comprehensive and efficient road network backing up its DPD CLASSIC product. DPD customers benefit from road transport within Europe in two respects at the same time: ecologically because less CO₂ is emitted and economically because it’s considerably less expensive than transport by air. This change in thinking ’from air to road’ represents the modeshift™ – demonstrating to customers the real alternative they have in selecting modes of transport within Europe.
