TNT triples Thai express capacity

TNT has tripled its express service capacity in Thailand, opening a new hub in the Lam Luk Ka district, Pathum Thani, the Bangkok Post reports.

The hub is capable of handling 40 tonnes or 4,500 consignments per day.

The new hub integrates both warehouse and distribution centres under the one roof, designed to reduce transit time by at least two hours.

Southeast Asia is TNT’s fastest growing market, contributing 30 percent to their annual revenue from emerging markets of USD 11.5 billion.

TNT stated it has investment funds of USD 100 million to meet the growing freight service demand between China, Asia and Europe over the next five years.

This investment is part of TNT’s plan to turn Thailand into a hub for the Indochina market.
