2008 Air fleet

1

The DHL Global aircraft fleet status December 2008 comprised a total fleet of 319 owned or dedicated/chartered active aircraft. Out of these, 229 were equipped with jet engines. The others were largely small turboprop aircraft used as feeder aircraft for the main network flights.

2

NOx emissions requirements for jet aircraft are defined in ICAO Annex 16 – Volume 2 . CAEP/2 requirements are less demanding than CAEP/4 and CAEP/6. The CAEP/6 emission limit is mandatory only for engines manufactured in 2008 and beyond.

3

Noise requirements for jet aircraft are defined in different “Chapters” of ICAO Annex 16 – Volume 1. Chapter 3 requirements are less demanding than Chapter 4 requirements. The latter are only applicable to aircraft manufactured after 1 January 2006.

4 Data is for road fleet in Germany only. However, based on data from other parts of our fleet and our general fleet renewal policies, we assume that the technical status of our global fleet is very similar to our German fleet.
5 The higher number of EURO 4 vehicles is due to the purchase of new vehicles and the reclassification of vehicles from EURO 3 to EURO 4.

Data generated by measurements, calculations, projections and estimations. We used measured data where available. For some units and processes without measured data we applied model calculations and assumptions. Wherever possible, we used internal benchmarks to achieve the best possible data quality. Data accuracy is estimated at +/- 10% for Scope 1 and 2 and +/- 25% for Scope 3.

1 Data for 2006 as reported previously.
2 2007 data are restated vs. data reported in the 2008 Sustainability Report. Key changes result from improved data transparency, re-allocation of some aircraft between Scopes and a new emission factor for maritime shipping issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
