BMW extends automotive logistics contract with DHL Freight

DHL Freight has been awarded an extension of its contract with the BMW Group.

In a statement sent to Post&Parcel today (23 July), DHL said it will continue to manage BMW’s overland transport in 17 countries covered by the companies’ previous contract, and it has also expanded the relationship by taking on supply chain management for automotive manufacturer in seven additional areas.

“This achievement represents another step towards Freight 2020, our strategy to become the provider of choice in overland transport by offering the best quality and reliability for the customers who depend on us,” said Uwe Brinks, DHL Freight.

“With BMW, we set out to create a solution specifically designed for their needs, one that would provide complete transparency throughout the supply chain, allowing the customer a consolidated overview of extremely complex processes. We have achieved this with Connected Supply Chain, a solution that gives BMW and their partners at DHL Freight the ability to manage potential issues and identify opportunities for further optimization.”

DHL Freight’s new contract with the BMW Group covers the management of about 90,000 shipments per month.
