"TNT Express is a recognised expert in day-definite road deliveries," said Marie-Christine Lombard, CEO of TNT Express. "With the integration of TNT’s two major road networks in Asia, we will strengthen our position in this market, whilst providing our customers with a cost-effective delivery solution complementary to air freight delivery."
With the new service, a company based in Shanghai can ship its products to Southeast Asia using TNT Hoau’s Day-Definite network. The goods will first arrive in Guangzhou, in the Chinese Guangdong province, within two days and in Pingxiang, on the border with Vietnam, the next day. Upon completion of customs formalities, the shipment will arrive in Hanoi on the same night. With its Asia Road Network, TNT Express can deliver the goods to 127 cities in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore within another 1-4 days.
TNT Express offers both international and domestic delivery services to, from and within China.
TNT Express’ Day-Definite road freight service in China is up to 50% cheaper than air freight, while taking only 1-3 more days for arrival. The service has been adopted by customers in the high-tech, automation and industrial manufacturing sectors. TNT’s Day-Definite ground service now consists of 492 road routes and covers 209 large and middle-sized cities.
Created in 2005, TNT Express’ Asia Road Network (ARN) now spans over seven countries, including China.
