Amazon hiring own drivers in Germany in a bid to expand delivery business

Ralph Orlowski/Reuters

“If we have last-mile in our own hands we can offer more services like same-day delivery,” Bernd Gschaider, Germany director for Amazon Logistics, told Reuters at a distribution centre outside the southern city of Mannheim.Gschaider said its move was designed to help it cover increased volumes but it poses a challenge to major logistics firms like Deutsche Post DHL, Hermes and DPD, which rely on the e-commerce giant for a large chunk of their parcel business.

The German cabinet is expected on Wednesday to approve proposed legislation to make logistics firms liable for the behaviour of their contractors, imposing fines if they are caught breaking strict labour laws.
