As of 1 Jan 2023, the fuel surcharge for road transport will become the energy surcharge. In order to respond to the fluctuating and sharply rising costs of fuels and energy sources for our fleet, the surcharge will in future be based not only on current fuel prices but also on the development of electricity and gas prices on the market. The energy surcharge will continue to be designed dynamically and will be charged per parcel. The calculation of the fuel surcharge for air transport remains the same.

The energy surcharge is levied for road transport.
An energy surcharge is payable for all domestic and international road shipments (DPD CLASSIC, DPD 10:00, DPD 12:00, DPD 18:00, DPD Home, DPD Shop (Return), DPD Collection Request and DPD Guarantee). The surcharge is shown separately on the invoice as an 'energy surcharge'. It is based on the current market prices for diesel, electricity and gas.
DPD reserves the right to change the data source and the reference value of fuels and energy sources as well as the associated calculation basis without prior notice, and to decide anew on the applicable amount and duration. The published information is updated monthly.

This is how the fuel surcharge is calculated
The fuel surcharge is levied for air transport.
The fuel surcharge is subject to changes in kerosene prices each month (see table below). The calculation of the surcharge is based on the monthly average of the "daily mid-spot price" for a barrel of kerosene (U.S. Gulf Coast). Each month the surcharge is based on the information as published by the American Department of Energy (www.eia.doe.gov). The new method is effective from 1 October 2017.
