2015 Rugby World Cup Fever

2015 Rugby World Cup Fever has hit the globe and here at DHL the fever is running high. I can proudly state that I am an employee of the worldwide logistics partner for this spectacular event.

Over a year and a half of preparations and DHL has so far delivered more than 400,000 tickets and an average of four tons of gear per team has been shipped to the 13 tournament venues throughout the UK.

Yes DHL is the official logistics partner of the Rugby World Cup 2015 and is working hard behind the scenes to deliver tournament and team equipment from around the world. Here are some interesting stats:

- 13 playing venues
- 11 host cities
- 89 team base locations
- 48 matches
- 48,200 kg team freight
- 192 team relocations throughout RWC2015
- 26 x 18 tonne vehicles = 91,050 road km's
- 20 scrum machines to be transported

Proudly impressed to part of this!
