DHL launches new service between Europe and the Middle East
Customers of DHL Freight can take advantage of the newly established connection between DHL’s high performance road transport services in Europe and the Middle East.
Effective immediately, customers of DHL Freight, the overland transport business of Deutsche Post World Net, can take advantage of the newly established connection between DHL’s high performance road transport services in Europe and the Middle East.
For shipments to and from the fast-growing Middle East region, DHL customers can now choose the most suitable mode of transport depending on the time/cost restraints associated with each individual shipment.
Road transportation within DHL Freight’s network means lower costs and easier processes than air freight, and shorter transit times compared to ocean freight.
DHL operates 16 major distribution centers, numerous local terminals and the most up-to-date truck fleet in the region. To guarantee short transit times, all European shipments are consolidated in 13 major gateways and forwarded to the Transit Center in Istanbul.
From there, the cargo is fed into the Middle East network. Each shipment is assigned a unique code and can be tracked online. In addition, DHL takes care of all administrative work, such as customs clearance, letters of credit and all risk-insurance services. With access to the larger DHL network, DHL Freight customers can benefit from further synergies when it comes to courier services, warehousing solutions as well as air and ocean freight.
