TNT Logistics Central & Eastern Europe is the new logistics partner for the pan-European spare parts logistics of MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, Europe’s leading manufacturer of commercial vehicles. As part of the European Logistics Concept, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG is restructuring its entire European spare parts logistics operation. The future distribution of fast moving goods will occur through six regional warehouses (ELCs). TNT Logistics will be responsible for the development and operation of the three ELCs in Italy, the UK and Northern Germany as well as the transport of spare parts in Italy, the UK, Northern Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, the Netherlands and Belgium. The transport services essentially comprise overnight delivery of urgent orders and same-day deliveries. The overall concept will accelerate the delivery of spare parts to the European workshops and reduce the MAN Group’s stocks.

New challengers set to blow European road express apart
New players are set to seriously challenge the big global integrators in the fast-growing European international road express market. They will include national parcel operators and freight forwarders.
That was one of the arguments put forward at this month’s World Mail ‘ Express Europe conference in Brussels. However, industry observers questioned that suggestion, asking where the new market entrants would come. They also pointed out that both groups of potential additional competitors had tried in the past to move into that sector without success.
Opening the debate, German express, parcel and transport industry journalist and consultant Ludwig-Michael Cremer argued that the European international express market was set to see further segmentation between air and road-based operations. TNT already had fully separate pan-European air and road networks, he said, and DHL and UPS were set to follow. FedEx was currently focused on air express and might need to find a partner to develop the equivalent of its FedEx Ground operation in the US.
