Posted by | Jul 3, 2006 | |

TNT plans to launch parcel services for consumers in several European markets later this year, according to a report in German newspaper Die Welt. “We will announce our strategy for parcel services in the third quarter,” the newspaper quoted TNT CEO Peter Bakker as saying. The aim was to benefit from growing home delivery parcel volumes generated by e-commerce sales, and to use available capacity in its express and postal networks. “We can imagine a launch in France, Great Britain and the Benelux states,” TNT board member Harry Koorstra said.
