TNT Express is launching a range of freight services for time-sensitive heavy shipments in Southeast Asia.
The three new services - Express Freight, Economy Freight and Freight Plus - will offer customers a door-to-door, day-definite delivery service based on specified transit time schedules, fast- tracked Customs clearance and full track-and-trace visibility.
The move forms part of the company's US$100 million investment over the next five years to build a leadership position in the region, a strategy that it announced in April.
This launch is also the first in a series of initiatives to further expand TNT's network capabilities in Asia, leveraging on the seamless connectivity offered by its extensive road and air networks.
These networks provide customers with the widest range of multimodal freight services between Southeast Asia and Europe, China and Europe and within Southeast Asia.
Based on studies undertaken of regional market needs, TNT expects the take-up rate of these services to be high. The large demand is mainly driven by customers in the high-tech, equipment and machinery and health-care sectors that are increasingly moving large volumes of high-value goods between Southeast Asia, China and Europe.
Through its global customer base in these sectors, TNT has developed extensive sector knowledge that can now be leveraged in Southeast Asia. Correspondingly, TNT's integrated road and air services are set to be a main business driver for the company over the next five years.
