The company’s name is derived from the initials of the founders—Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn. In its early days, DHL transported freight documents by air from San Francisco to Honolulu, allowing ship cargo to begin customs clearance mid-voyage, dramatically reducing port delays. Only a decade later did DHL expand into parcel delivery, its core business today.\u003c\/p\u003eModel\u003cp\u003e1:87 Scale model produced as a finely detailed replica of the original and features lots of expertly applied details as based on the prototype.\u003c\/p\u003eFeatures \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1:87 Scale Model\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Herpa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52987114258769,"sku":"HA098472","price":22.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/ha098472_1_v2.jpg?v=1770997543","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/herpa-vw-id-3-taxi-ha098472-ho-gauge","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
