According to a company press release, “Customers mainly from the life sciences, and healthcare and technology sectors will benefit from this concept, which will allow for very late cut-off times, speed to market and integrated services coordination based on a direct injection into DHL’s express network. The service portfolio is also targeting clients from the automotive, and engineering and manufacturing industries.”Kuehne+Nagel China has introduced a thrice-weekly, 1,200-kilometer trucking route between Shanghai and Tianjin. In the last few months of the year, the company is also working to establish depots in Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Beijing, Xiamen, Chengdu and Wuhan.Delta Air Lines has launched a new service enabling cargo carriers to utilize approved GPS devices to track high-value and time-sensitive shipments.
