there have reached up to . With a share of of the international and of the
domestic market, we are the clear leader in Russia. We intend to continue pro ting

Strategy and goals
By establishing a global organisation under uniform management, DHL Express
has realigned its strategy. e main purpose is to improve pro tability and generate
further organic growth. Our goal is to be the preferred provider in the international
express business across all products and regions, and we are de ning our range of
products and services as well as our infrastructure with this aim in mind.
Creating a competitive international network
e core element of our strategy is the international air tra c network. Competitive
pricing and a rst-rate service on all the major international trade routes is the tar-
get. We employ specialist teams to ensure delivery of the best possible performance,
pro tability and growth on important global trade lanes we have de ned.
Exploiting strong position in domestic markets
We intend to systematically reinforce our leading position in numerous domestic
markets. More than of all shipments remain in the country of the sender. We
intend to step up the consolidation of domestic and foreign shipments and thus
leverage further cost advantages. By way of domestic business, we are also winning
international orders from our customers.
“DHL Express ranks amongst the leading operators in its segment.
Our strengths lie in a network that spans the globe, motivated
employees and satisfi ed customers. The US business remains the
greatest challenge. Although we have established ourselves as the
number-three player there, we are currently being hampered by the
inhospitable economic climate.” John P. Mullen, EXPRESS
