DHL expands North Africa road freight network
Following the successful launch of the DHL Euroconnect product to and from Morocco in April, DHL Freight now offers groupage services to and from Tunisia. According to Thomas George, CEO of DHL Freight, Morocco and Tunisia are maintaining strong economic ties with the EU, particularly countries in southern Europe. This is fuelling demand to include these countries in DHL’s Euroconnect network, extending its existing LTL and TL services to scheduled regular groupage shipments. With the regular line haul departures for both Morocco and Tunisia, Deutsche Post DHL can now offer additional groupage services to anywhere within its road network of more than fifty countries across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Barcelona is the European gateway for Morocco, and Lyon connects Europe with Tunisia. The services to Tunisia and Morocco give customers access to DHL’s existing countrywide distribution networks. The new connection to Tunisia allows DHL Freight to reach all major business centres within one day, with five branch offices across the country acting as domestic hubs and customer access points.
