DHL, the region’s leading express and logistics provider, will invest approximately $3 million per year in its fleet of trucks serving customers in the Middle East region.
The investment will initially add an additional 35 vehicles with a further 15 vehicles to be added at a later date, bringing the company’s fleet to a total of 250 vehicles on the region’s roads. The new DHL-branded vehicles will be state of the art and will employ the latest GPS (satellite tracking system) technology.
DHL Middle East operations head Bachi Spiga said: “Our business in the region has continued to grow significantly. The additional vehicles that we are investing in will provide us with the capacity to ensure that we are able to meet and exceed our customers’ time-definite, day-definite and customised express logistics solutions needs.”
The move comes following unprecedented growth across the Middle East region and will initially raise DHL’s capacity to 360 tonnes per day. DHL currently ships on average more than 200 tonnes per day in the Middle East and this is expected to grow significantly.
DHL also appointed Darren Hague as Middle East road network manager.
