Businesses in South East Asia are embracing road transport services. Compared to February 2009, road volumes on the DHL Economy Select (Road) service grew by 79 percent in March, marking the largest month-on-month growth in 32 months.
The service has registered an average of over 20 percent month-on-month growth over the past 12 months, indicating increasing relevance of road express services to intra-Asia trade routes.
Yasmin Khan, senior VP, South East Asia, DHL Express Asia Pacific, said, “The economic downturn has heightened customers’ interest and demand for reliable yet cost-effective measures and we’re seeing a tremendous upswing in demand for our Economy Select (Road) service. We expect demand for road express services to continue to grow as customers increasingly appreciate the timeliness and reliability of the service and the associated cost efficiency.”
DHL Economy Select (Road) is suited for less time-sensitive shipments such as marketing collateral, books, small machine and assembly parts.
