Tanfield picks TNT

Electric truck maker Tanfield has chosen TNT for the shipments of consignments around the UK and Europe.

The six-figure deal for TNT includes delivery of critical components from Europe to Tanfield’s two UK sites in the North East along with and the export of vehicle parts back to the Continent.

TNT currently handles up to 200 consignments each week with components weighing in at anywhere between a single kilo right up to a hefty 100 kilogram packages.
