This is how the energy surcharge is composed

In times of climate change, we as a logistics service provider are called upon to reduce CO2 emissions - while at the same time parcel volumes are rising sharply. This is why we levy a energy surcharge:. The energy surcharge covers the predictable base portion of the costs incurred for diesel (for road transport), kerosene (for air transport), as well as gas and electricity, and is factored into the annual pricing structure. The energy surcharge is published monthly and appears on your invoice as a road energy surcharge for road shipments and as an air energy surcharge for air shipments. Since May 2026, DPD has been charging an additional transparent and dynamic Emergency Fuel Surcharge to account for short-term market fluctuations triggered by exceptional events.
