DHL Eastern China domestic transportation hub is one of the five regional hubs
Logistics service provider DHL has launched its new DHL Eastern China domestic transportation hub in Shanghai. The move is expected to strengthen DHL's expertise in the domestic road transportation and distribution market in China, and tap the growth of the domestic road industry.
The Chinese government has recently released a roadmap for developing Shanghai into an international shipping center. This is likely to increase demand for domestic transportation services in order to deliver goods from inland production bases to the ports and airports, the company said.
Frank Appel, CEO, Deutsche Post DHL, said: "The launch of the DHL Eastern China Domestic Transportation Hub in Shanghai reflects our continued confidence in China and commitment to be the best integrated logistics solutions provider."
"We are confident that this new hub will enhance our competitive edge in managing domestic transportation and distribution, enabling DHL to continuously meet and exceed our customers' expectations," he added.
