Snow Rackets in Norway

These shoes are used in remote areas that cannot be accessed by normal delivery vehicles. Are fixed with velcro strips. The flat, large surface of the shoes stabilizes the posture and prevents the snow from sinking.
Cable car in Germany

“Our Customers were very surprised When I started crossing the river, ”says the captain Dirk Braumann.
Boats in the African river region
For deliveries in the city of West Africa of Lagos, in NigeriaDHL also serves as boats, which operate daily between lakes and the southern district of Victoria Island.
The aquatic crossing takes only about 18 minutes. In contrast, the road trip may take until three hours due to heavy traffic and roads in poor condition.
Gondolas in Venice
Car or bicycle delivery is practically unfeasible in the historic city of Venice. Instead of streets, Venice has a network of channels. Therefore, deliveries are made through gondolas.
DHL
Although these gondolas are slightly wider than the slender boats used to carry tourists through the channels, they are also an integral part of water traffic on the big channel. In addition to Venice, DHL also delivers through gondola in the channels (Grachten) in Amsterdam.
