DHL opts for Mercedes-Benz Vito vans

DHL launched its newly commissioned fleet of 42 Mercedes-Benz Vito vans to better deliver its logistics services to customers. This new fleet will increase the company’s vehicle capacity by 20 percent to meet growing business needs, the company said in a press release.

The new vehicles, which replace the previous fleet of 35 vans, will reinforce DHL’s position as the only Transport Asset Protection Association certified logistics service provider in Sri Lanka, the company claimed. “We remain committed to maintain the highest levels of security and compliance within the supply chain for our customers. DHL’s successful partnership with Diesel and Motor Engineering PLC for the new fleet enables us to uphold the same standards of excellence not just within the supply chain, but also in the way we conduct our operations.

With the 20 percent increase in capacity, our new Mercedes-Benz Vito fleet enables us to meet the growing demand of international express services in the country,” said Dimithri Perera, Country Manager, DHL Express Sri Lanka.

“At DIMO, we continually strive to exceed our customer’s expectations, providing a product specifically tailored to their needs.

The Vito van is supported by over 120 years of Mercedes Benz experience in the commercial vehicle sector renowned for its technological edge, reliability, improved safety features and low fuel consumption,” said Ranjith Pandithage, Chairman of Diesel and Motor Engineering PLC.

“This new fleet delivers lifetime value and environmental responsibility that can only be received from a genuine commercial vehicle specialist.

We believe the new vehicles will help DHL support and grow their business operations in Sri Lanka,” he said.
