Important hub

The location is scheduled to go into operation in 2020 and represents an important geographical hub in southern Germany. The new building will initially serve the same delivery area as the existing depot in Augsburg. The new building will also relieve pressure on the parcel sorting centers in Neufahrn and Nuremberg. "I am delighted that we will soon be able to start operations here in Augsburg with massively expanded capacities," explains Thomas Ohnhaus, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at DPD Germany.

Up to 93,000 parcels planned daily

Initially, 36,000 parcels are to be handled in the new sorting center, but in the final stage it should be possible to handle up to 93,000.

Energy efficiency measures

The sorting center is to be equipped with energy-saving LEDs both indoors and outdoors. In addition, the electrical supply will be designed in such a way that an infrastructure for electric vehicles can be retrofitted.
