Air quality right at your doorstep

Air quality monitoring programme

Across the world, communities are demanding cleaner air. We recognized we were in a unique position to help. DPD Portugal partnered with the cities of Lisbon, Paris and Madrid as a pilot project. Using next generation lasers, our delivery fleet and our depots monitored PM 2.5 air pollution levels in real time. The comprehensive data enabled Lisbon’s authorities to design a unique low emission zone in the heart of the city. Building on the success, DPDgroup plan to expand the initiative in 20 key cities across Europe by 2021. It’s an example of the good that can come from acting local for the benefit of cities and citizens.

With Project Breathe, DPD contributes to cleaner air throughout Europe! For example, in Rotterdam and The Hague, we measure air pollution with our delivery vehicles and depots and map this in real time. Based on this initiative, the city council of Lisbon has established a unique zero-emission zone at a primary school. And because we believe that we can always do better, we want to continue this success in 20 other major cities in Europe.
