DHL Express to lift investment in services

German logistics giant DHL Express announced on Friday that it will increase its investment in China, including expanding service facilities in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, and increasing freight flight services from South China to Germany.

DHL Express opened its Zhuhai, Guangdong gateway on Friday to enhance its international logistics express delivery efficiency west of the Pearl River, as enabled by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which opened to the public late last month.

Wu Dongming, CEO of DHL Express China and Global Management Board Member, said the company will fully leverage the 55-kilometer-long bridge to shorten express transportation from the west of the Pearl River to Hong Kong from four hours to 45 minutes.
