DPD's fleet of delivery vehicles consists of internal combustion engine vehicles, electric vehicles and low-emission BIO LNG vehicles. Fuel and energy for delivery vehicles make up a significant part of the courier company's costs for parcel delivery.

The amount of these inputs is subject to development reflected in a dynamic energy surcharge, calculated each month based on the current average prices of diesel, BIO LNG and electricity, in proportion to the representation of the fuel type in DPD's fleet.

As of 1 January 2025, a unified model for calculating the energy surcharge is applied across the CEE region.

The amount of the energy surcharge for the road transport is based on the average price of electricity as determined by The Regulatory Office for Network Industries (URSO) and published monthly on the URSO website, the price of LNG published by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, and the price of diesel published on the  Weekly Oil Bulletin.

Like all carriers, DPD is obliged to keep pace with international sanctions lists and comply with imposed embargoes. Under international law, we must not provide services to individuals, companies and governments incorporated in international sanctions lists. Ensuring compliance with the above rules, we screen sender and receiver names and addresses of very single parcel in international delivery against binding trade sanctions, embargoes, and other sanctions lists. This rule applies to all DPD branches grouped under the Geopost brand within Europe and all international parcel flows. Under this new obligation, we are forced to introduce a security charge for all international shipments in the amount of €0.20 per package and for the Czech Republic in the amount of €0.10 per package.
