DHL Freight, one of the leading road transport service providers in Europe, expanded the reach of its Eurapid service in November by adding nine more terminals to the network.
The service for less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments up to 2.5 tons with defined-day delivery is now available through 50 terminals located in 17 countries and covers 80% of all business addresses in Europe.
– Since the launch of this premium service last year, we have doubled the number of terminals handling Eurapid and significantly reduced delivery times. Thanks to defined-day delivery and fast connections, Eurapid is currently the most preferred service by our customers in the technology, automotive, medical, and Life Science sectors – says Amadou Diallo, CEO of DHL Freight. – We will continue to develop the Eurapid network so that by the end of 2015, we can offer our customers this highly reliable service across almost the entire area of Europe.
The high-quality DHL road transport network supporting Eurapid has been expanded with terminals in France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Spain, and Slovakia. Additionally, two terminals located in Portugal (in Lisbon and Porto) have been integrated into the network. By the end of 2015, the company intends to include further terminals in response to market demand.
Eurapid shipments are treated with priority. Customers are offered competitive delivery times. A dedicated Eurapid customer service team answers questions and constantly monitors delivery punctuality. Eurapid guarantees same-day pickup, provided the shipment is ordered before 12:00 noon. The service also provides information on shipment status and standard reports regarding delivery times.
