#1- Apes and scavengers: <\/strong>DHL shipped Chocolat \u2014 a disabled chimpanzee \u2014 from Nairobi to East Midlands Airport in the UK and took him on a road trip to Dorset to be rehomed in the Monkey World Ape Rescue Center. DHL also relocated 163 Cape and African White-backed vultures in January from a rehabilitation facility near Pretoria in South Africa to the Shamwari wildlife reserve in the country\u2019s Eastern Cape. The transportation process involved two 34-ton trucks along with five support and security vehicles to ensure the 18-hour journey was seamless and safe.<\/p>\n

#2- James Bond collectibles: <\/strong>The shipping giant transported over 130 pieces of James Bond memorabilia from Prague\u2019s \u201cBond in Motion\u201d exhibition to Vienna's \u201c007 Action\u201d display using 22 trucks, including specialized enclosed car carriers with hydraulic lifts. The items included 27 cars, eight motorcycles, costumes, parachutes, and James Bond\u2019s driving licenses. It also shipped the eight-meter-long, high-speed ice dragster and a helicopter. <\/p>\n

#3- Orchestral masterworks: <\/strong>Over 60 valuable instruments of the London Philharmonic Orchestra including double basses, cellos, timpani, and a harp were transported from the UK to Japan for a concert. The shipment covered 9.5k km by air and road, where DHL had to maintain a constant temperature between 17 and 21 degrees celsius to prevent wooden instruments from warping or cracking.<\/p>\n

#4- A mobile heart clinic? <\/strong>The firm delivered the world\u2019s first mobile heart clinic from Germany to El Salvador back in February. The shipment consisted of 11 containers transported by sea and road. DHL then moved the clinic to Burundi in East Africa in May to continue its mission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
