Vehicles
What vehicle can I use for a TACS demonstration?
Ideally, we would like you to use a 40T articulated vehicle, however we know this is not always realistic due to both vehicle availability and the size of school premises in your area. There is some flexibility, however you should not use a vehicle smaller than a 17 tonne rigid. You can download a presentation to you further information below.
Does my vehicle have to have DHL livery?
The vehicle does not have to carry a DHL logo, it can be in the livery of your own contract, but it is vital that it is clean and in good repair.
My site won’t release a vehicle for a demonstration, what can I do?
Our priority is to ensure that a demonstration is not cancelled at short notice. This damages DHL’s reputation and disappoints a large number of children. Should business reasons dictate that a vehicle is not available at your site; ask your manager to contact nearby sites/transport managers to request support. In exceptional circumstances it has been possible to arrange replacement vehicles through the Central Rental Desk. Please call Joanne Schmidt on 0844 875 3031 as soon as you can. (If Joanne is not available ask to speak to the CRD team and mention that the request is for a TACS Demonstration)
We hope you have found the answer you were looking for, but if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to get in touch with the TACS team, who will be delighted to help you (talking.tacs@dhl.com or 0844 875 3031 Option 5).
