TNT launches Asia road express service

Posted by | Dec 1, 2005 | |

TNT yesterday launched an Asia road express service which by 2007 will be able to truck small cargo from Singapore to Chinese cities. The new service may also see shippers beginning to opt out of both sea and air freight for some cargo with a more cost effective road transport option. This may result in some losses for both shipping lines and airfreight operators in Asia but TNT, however, sees the service as complementing the region’s well developed air and sea freight routes with the potential of significantly cutting logistics costs for businesses. It has launched what is claimed to be Asia’s first and only integrated network spanning Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and plans to expand it to link up more than 120 cities across 4,000 kilometres when Vietnam and Cambodia are added in the first half of next year. The global express forwarder hopes to extend the road links eventually to China by 2007.
