The business-to-consumer operations of DHL Express announced its worldwide shipments recovery for American individual customers who buy things worth more than USD 800. On Monday the company confirmed the restart of USD 800 material shipments because of U.S. authority dialogue results.
The April 21st suspension of worldwide business-to-consumer shipments operated by DHL emerged because the company needed to obey both U.S. customs regulations that stated formal entry processing must occur for all deliveries greater than USD 800 in value. The new regulation modified this threshold to USD 2,500 but the authorities implemented another change when they lowered this threshold to USD 800 on April 5th.

DHL stated in a public announcement that U.S. customs regulations received necessary changes which led the company to restore its halted service.
DHL's global network will sustain the shipment of high-value goods through its network to the United States after this positive change comes into effect.

&nbsp;Deutsche Post&nbsp;DHL&nbsp;Group's&nbsp;StreetScooter&nbsp;electric&nbsp;vehicle unit will enter the&nbsp;US&nbsp;market next year as&nbsp;delivery&nbsp;firms and municipalities work to cut greenhouse gas&nbsp;emissions.

DHL&nbsp;will&nbsp;debut&nbsp;StreetScooter's&nbsp;zero-emission&nbsp;Work L&nbsp;delivery&nbsp;van in two urban&nbsp;US markets, one on each coast, starting in Spring 2020, the companies said. They did not specify which markets would be the first.

Full deployment could come in 2022 and 2023, said Ulrich Stuhec, StreetScooter's chief technology officer, who joined the company from Ford Motor Co in October.

Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Tokyo and 30 other&nbsp;cities&nbsp;around the globe have been working to establish&nbsp;zero-emission&nbsp;zones by 2030. Those&nbsp;cities&nbsp;hope to curb accumulating greenhouse gases that contribute to extreme weather, higher temperatures, and rising sea levels, which have steep economic, environmental and human costs.

The transportation industry - which includes fossil-fuel-burning ships, trains, trucks, and planes - accounted for 14 per cent&nbsp;of global greenhouse gas&nbsp;emissions in 2010, according to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Over the last three years,&nbsp;DHL&nbsp;has kicked off "CO2-free last-mile&nbsp;delivery" efforts with German&nbsp;cities&nbsp;like Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich.

Roughly 10,000 of the 12,000 StreetScooter&nbsp;electric&nbsp;vehicles on the road make&nbsp;DHL&nbsp;deliveries. They operate in Amsterdam, Vienna, and&nbsp;cities&nbsp;around Germany - saving roughly 36,000 metric tons of CO2 per truck each year, StreetScooter said.

"We have the most experience on the road while others are still working on their first prototypes," StreetScooter's Stuhec said in a recent interview.&nbsp;

Up-and-coming&nbsp;delivery&nbsp;competitor Amazon.com Inc in September gave the&nbsp;electric&nbsp;vehicle industry a jolt with its plan to order 100,000&nbsp;electric&nbsp;delivery&nbsp;vans&nbsp;from Rivian Automotive LLC, a company it funds. The first&nbsp;vans&nbsp;should hit streets in 2021.

DHL&nbsp;fully acquired StreetScooter in 2014. The unprofitable subsidiary is seeking new investors and customers to further ramp production.

DHL to debut zero-emission electric delivery vans in US cities

Some KFC outlets in Britain are to remain shut for the rest of the week, the fast-food operator said Tuesday as a supply crisis rumbled on, leaving fans craving a fix of deep-fried chicken.

About 450 of the chain&#39;s 900 outlets remained closed late Tuesday after &quot;operational issues&quot; with new German delivery supplier DHL left them without poultry supplies.

&quot;Each day more deliveries are being made,&quot; said a spokesman for KFC.

&quot;However, we expect the disruption to some restaurants to continue over the remainder of the week, meaning some will be closed and others operating with a reduced menu or shortened hours.&quot;

The crisis erupted over the weekend when KFC switched its delivery contract to DHL, leading to the closure of 700 of its British stores.

&quot;We&#39;ve brought a new delivery partner onboard, but they&#39;ve had a couple of teething problems -- getting fresh chicken out to 900 restaurants across the country is pretty complex,&quot; KFC said.

&quot;We know that this might have inconvenienced some of you over the last few days, and disappointed you when you wanted your fried chicken fix,&quot; the company added.

With some customers apparently suffering withdrawal symptoms, one London police department tweeted: &quot;Please do not contact us about the KFCcrisis -- it is not a police matter if your favourite eatery is not serving the menu that you desire.&quot;

DHL&#39;s managing director of retail, John Boulter, said the delivery firm was working to &quot;return to normal service levels as soon as possible.

&quot;The reasons for this unforeseen interruption of this complex service are being worked on,&quot; he added, although did not give the exact reason for the problem.

&quot;We are committed to step-by-step improvements to allow KFC to reopen its stores over the coming days.&quot;

&quot;We won&#39;t compromise on quality, so no deliveries has meant some of our restaurants are closed, and others are operating a limited menu, or shortened hours.&quot;

DHL blamed the delivery delays on &quot;operational issues&quot;.

&quot;We are working with KFC and our partners to rectify the situation as a priority and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused,&quot; a spokeswoman said.
