Vitesco Technologies announced a new strategic alliance with DHL Supply Chain, as a leading logistics partner. As part of the agreement, the logistics flows of the twelve European locations of Vitesco Technologies will be centrally managed by DHL through the LLP Center of Excellence in Warsaw, Poland.
This corresponds to around 100,000 transport movements within the supply chain to the plants, as well as from the plants to the customers, and represents approximately one third of Vitesco Technologies’ total transport volume.
In that regard, Thomas Kirchermeier, Head of Supply Chain Management at Vitesco Technologies, noted that the main driver of their business is the development and production of sustainable technologies for the mobility of the future.
“We want to run this business in a CO2-neutral way by 2040. Sustainable logistics solutions are an important step on this path, which we will take together with DHL Supply Chain in the future,” he emphasized.

DHL’s Scope
The great advantage of the new logistics concept is that, as the main partner in these operations, DHL Supply Chain bundles the freight volumes of numerous large companies to generate synergy effects and thus achieve new optimization potentials.
The logistics experts tap the entire market of carriers and freight forwarders and can offer the fastest, safest, most environmentally friendly and cost-effective transport solutions.
This benefits Vitesco Technologies and all its customers: supply chains become more robust and reliable.
Centralized freight management by a leading global logistics provider such as DHL also enables maximum transparency of transport routes, which not only benefits efficiency, but also reduces CO2 emissions.
This is achieved by combining deliveries that were previously handled separately or by increasingly relying on climate-friendly means of transport.
Vitesco Technologies‘ expertise in the field of electromobility is coupled with DHL‘s practical experience, as the company operates the largest fleet of electric vehicles within the logistics sector.
