BRI key to connectivity for logistics giant

Deutsche Post DHL Group has extended its cross-border road transportation network to economies involved in the initiative

Following the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge late last year, Deutsche Post DHL Group, which is headquartered in Bonn, Germany, decided to launch a cross-border truck service via the bridge that will cut transit time by 75 percent and costs by up to 15 percent compared with previous routes.

The new service can deliver goods from Shenzhen to Singapore in six to eight days door-to-door, significantly shorter than ocean freight which takes between 13 and 14 days.
