TNT has announced the expansion of its Asia Road Network into China, making TNT the first integrator in Asia to operate an integrated road network covering 4,000 km that links more than 120 cities in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indochina and China.
The road network, which connects Singapore to Nanning, the capital city of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Guangzhou, the capital of the Guangdong Province, will become fully operational in early-2008 after completion of the last trials.
The Asia Road Network connects to TNT’s international express network in China. The next step will be linking it to TNT’s Chinese domestic network, which will provide TNT customers with seamless road connections in the region.
Introduced at the end of 2005, TNT’s Asia Road Network connects Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and China through the north-eastern border of Vietnam, with 24/7 GPS tracking of all TNT’s container trucks. The road service is two to three times faster than seafreight, and up to 30% cheaper than airfreight.
