HVO – DHL focuses on sustainable transportation of pharmaceutical products for Alexion in Ireland and Europe.

This partnership fits seamlessly into the DHL Group’s sustainability strategy, which aims to reduce all logistics-related emissions to net-zero by 2050.

  • Partnership reduces Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from road transportation by up to 90 percent while switching from diesel to hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO)
  • HVO will be used to deliver medicines to ten countries, with approximately 500 deliveries per year
  • Alexion as an industry pioneer for climate-friendly pharmaceutical transportation

DHL Global Forwarding, Freight and Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease, are strengthening their collaboration, which began in 2015, with a pioneering step towards more sustainability. The two partners will use hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional diesel for the European road transport of pharmaceutical products.
