Audi Partners With Amazon, DHL On Direct-To-Car Delivery

Audi has announced a partnership with online shopping giant Amazon and German courier service DHL that will soon see packages delivered directly to the boot of a customer’s car.

Launched as a limited trial in Germany, the service will offer Amazon Prime customers the option of allowing DHL drivers access to the rear storage area of their car, so that a delivery can be made direct to the vehicle.

The option will only be available to owners of Audi vehicles equipped with the Audi connect system, which, in this case, can allow DHL drivers to track the vehicle’s location and use a one-time electronic code to open the boot.

Swedish carmaker Volvo revealed its own take on the concept early last year, called ‘Roam Delivery’, which operates in a similar fashion.
