通州区DHL国际快递公司 通州区DHL国际快递运输中心/一站式服务

Bonn - Parcels, pallets, planeloads, and packed shipping containers are what people typically associate with DHL Group, the world's leading logistics provider. However, this only scratches the surface of the company's capabilities. Some shipments are much more unusual. Here are just five of the most extraordinary shipping highlights that the global market leader in logistics carried out in 2024.  

An animal with a touching life story: In August 2024, DHL transported Chocolat, a disabled chimpanzee, from Kenya to the Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre in Dorset, UK. She was saved as an infant in 2001 after surviving the illegal bushmeat trade in Congo, where poachers killed her mother. Chocolat suffered injuries from shotgun pellets that left her with a paralyzed hand and foot. Her original rescuer kept her safe in Kenya for over two decades. In 2024, however, Chocolat needed a permanent home in a specialized sanctuary that could provide her with the best possible care. DHL treated her journey as a high-priority transport. It began with a flight from Nairobi to East Midlands Airport in the UK and concluded with a road trip to Dorset. A custom-built crate with snacks like fruit and sweet potatoes ensured Chocolat's comfort and safety. A dedicated team of animal experts accompanied her throughout the trip, and she arrived in good spirits. She was introduced to six other chimpanzees at her new home, giving her the family that she had been missing since her time in the wild.
