DHL has an appreciation of winter sports, exemplified by its partnerships with other esteemed organizations like the German Bobsleigh, Luge, and Skeleton Federation (BSD) and the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (IBSF).

When navigating the perilous ice tunnel, precision and speed are of utmost importance – characteristics that also form the basis for DHL’s services.
