job as a courier for the insurance company Michael's, Poe &
Associates (MPA). He started running courier duty between

Airport, picking up packages for the last flight of the day , and
returning on the first flight the next morning, up to fiv e times a
week. [10]:12

Most of DHL Express' business is incorporated as DHL International

GmbH.

Major competitors include FedEx, UPS, TNT and national post

carriers such as United States Postal Serv ice (USPS) and Roy al Mail.
Howev er, DHL has a minor partnership with the USPS, which allows
DHL to deliv er small packages to the recipient through the USPS
network known as DHL Global Mail, now known as DHL eCommerce.
It is also the sole prov ider for transferring USPS mail in and out of DHL van in Tokyo
Iraq and Afghanistan.

DHL offers worldwide serv ices, including deliv eries to countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and My anmar
(formerly Burma). As it is German-owned, DHL is not affected by U.S. embargoes or sanctions and will ship to
Cuba[29] and North Korea. [30][31] Howev er, there are strict codes for deliv ering to North Korea, as the country
has shaky relations with the West. [30]

As DHL is no longer a United States company , it is not allowed to make domestic flights between U.S.
airports. DHL contracts these serv ices to other prov iders. [25]

Environmental record
DHL has taken measures to control their env ironmental impact by use of the alternativ e fuel v ehicles. DHL
changed v ehicles in certain deliv ery fleets in order to use alternativ e fuels. Certain new v ehicles use
compressed natural gas, to which DHL hopes to conv ert 50% of their v ehicles in the future. [32]

On 16 September 2005, DHL won a High Court injunction establishing an exclusion zone around each of its
288 buildings in the UK as well as the homes of its 18,000 UK employ ees. The firm has been the subject of a
campaign of intimidation because of their business with Huntingdon Life Sciences. The judge banned
protesters from coming within 50 y ards (46 m) of any DHL premises or the homes of their employ ees as well
as any organized demonstration within 100 y ards (91 m) unless the police had been giv en four hours' notice.
The injunction also protects any one doing business with DHL from intimidation. [33]

Use of electric vehicles

In December 2014 Deutsche Post DHL purchased the StreetScooter
company , a small manufacturer of electric v ehicles as part of its
long-term goal to reach zero emissions in its deliv ery
operations. [34] By y ear end 2016, some 2,000 v ehicles had been
produced. [35][36]

In the future, electric v ans with a much greater range will be

required to achiev e the long term goal of replacing the entire
Deutsche Post and DHL Express fleet of approximately 7 0,000 Electric StreetScooter Work (2016)
v ehicles with StreetScooter models. [37]

The Deutsche Post/DHL GoGreen program plans to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and local air
pollutants; the company has four interim goals for doing so, to be achiev ed by the y ear 2025. The long-term
goal, summarized by Frank Appel, Chief Executiv e Officer, is more aggressiv e. "From now until 2050, our
mission will be to driv e our business toward zero [logistics related] emissions. We are setting the standard for
the future of the transport sector and doing our part to help the world community reach its goal of limiting
global warming to less than two degrees Celsius."[38]
