TNT goes day-definite nationwide in China
Operator's road network covering 26 cities now complete
TNT Hoau, TNT’s road distribution arm in China, has completed its nationwide day-definite road distribution network.
During the past two months, TNT Hoau extended the coverage to Chengdu, Chongquing, Zhengzhou, Xian, Yantai and Xiamen, meaning the the company can now offer guaranteed day-definite ground delivery to 26 of the biggest cities in the country, using 246 day-definite linehauls.
The network covers 800 depots throughout China, with a large concentration in the major economic regions, including the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and Bohai Bay.
It claimed its day-definite service was a “cost-efficient, yet fast and reliable” alternative to domestic air freight, with door-to-door transport and online track and trace.
For example, a shipment from Guangzhou to Shanghai will take less than two days to be delivered.
In addition to extending coverage, TNT Hoau has completed the purchase of 400 EU 3-compliant trucks and launched a nationwide customer hotline dedicated to the day-definite service.
TNT Hoau introduced its day-definite road service in February last year, with the goal of setting a new quality benchmark in the Chinese road transportation market, and to complement its national less-than-truckload (LTL) operations..
The service has been used by small and medium busineses, as well as Fortune 500 companies, especially from the hi-tech, electronics, automotive and textile sectors.
Overall, TNT Hoau manages a road distribution network of 1,500 depots and 56 domestic hubs, covering more than 600 Chinese cities.
