Constellation Cold Logistics has entered into an agreement to acquire Spedition Wohlert and Wohlert Kühl Logistik in Germany. This marks Constellation’s entry into the German market, representing an important milestone in the wider European growth strategy. Through this partnership, Constellation strengthens its leadership position across Europe, adding 40,000 pallet positions of temperature-controlled space, innovative services and country-wide distribution with 150 vehicles providing less-than-truckload (LTL) and full-truckload (FTL) services.

Spedition Wohlert operates from two main cold stores in Schleswig-Holstein and three satellite locations in Teterow, Rastede, and Kassel, performing cross-docking services. The Company offers an extensive range of value-added services designed to streamline logistics processes and deliver measurable benefits to customers, from comprehensive import and export solutions to blast freezing, order picking, and crate washing to meet customers’ unique requirements.

Founded in 1950 by Willi Wohlert as a livestock trading and haulage company, the business grew and evolved under the leadership of Hans-Joachim Wohlert to also provide temperature-controlled warehousing. Julia and Jörn-Peer joined the family business and, together with Hans-Joachim, transformed the company into a full-service partner for the food industry. Over the years, Spedition Wohlert achieved significant growth and diversification in terms of geographic reach and service offerings. This development continued with the Wohlert family expanding the cold storage and complementary capabilities over the past 15 years, while ensuring a proud tradition of customer commitment and operational excellence.

The companies are already working together on development plans to expand capacity at Bollingstedt to support existing and new customers.

As Europe’s leading independent cold storage and logistics provider, Constellation operates across nine European countries with more than one million pallet positions. The Company remains focused on local market expertise, while leveraging the benefits of scale and capabilities from a pan-European network.

This partnership strengthens Constellation’s strategy to develop a unified, best-in-class cold logistics platform across Europe and establish a solid foundation in the German market, while maintaining the agility, customer focus and entrepreneurial spirit of locally led operations. Together, the combined businesses will continue to expand capacity, enhance service capabilities, and deliver long-term value for customers, employees, and partners across the supply chain.

Nurminen Logistics announces the completion of the integration of Essinge Rail into the Nurminen Logistics Group, following the 2024 acquisition. All services are now provided under the Nurminen Logistics brand, ensuring a unified and consistent experience for customers.

The essence of the business remains the same, with the same dedication to quality and service as always. What has changed is that the Company now operates as one brand – Nurminen Logistics – supported by a larger team and stronger resources. This enables it to offer an even broader global reach within multimodal transport solutions, including:

> Greater rail freight capacity throughout the Nordics and Europe.
> Extensive multimodal connections linking the Nordics, Europe, and Asia.
> Comprehensive terminal services at key hubs throughout the Nordics and Europe.
> Expertise in project and heavy cargo operations, including dangerous goods warehousing.

This brand consolidation marks an important step in strengthening the Company’s identity and ensuring a unified, consistent experience across all markets and services. Operating as one brand enables Nurminen Logistics to present a more comprehensive offering, streamline communication and further reinforce its position within multimodal logistics.

Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. has reported certain less-than-truckload (“LTL”) operating metrics for November 2025. Revenue per day decreased by 4.4% as compared to November 2024 due to a 10.0% decrease in LTL tons per day that was partially offset by an increase in LTL revenue per hundredweight.

The decrease in LTL tons per day was attributable to a 9.4% decrease in LTL shipments per day and a 0.6% decrease in LTL weight per shipment. For the quarter-to-date period, LTL revenue per hundredweight and LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 5.9% and 5.2%, respectively, as compared to the same period last year.

Revenue results for November reflect ongoing softness in the domestic economy, which contributed to a decrease in volumes. Best-in-class service supports yield management initiatives and the ability to increase LTL revenue per hundredweight.

Looking ahead, the Company will continue to focus on these core elements of its long-term strategic plan, which it believes has produced a strong track record of financial performance. This plan has also helped it create an unmatched value proposition that it believes will support the ability to win market share and increase shareholder value over the long-term.

XPO has reported certain preliminary LTL segment operating metrics for November 2025. LTL tonnage per day decreased 5.4%, as compared with November 2024, attributable to a year-over-year decrease of 2.2% in shipments per day and a decrease of 3.2% in weight per shipment.

The Company noted that actual results for November 2025 may vary from these preliminary results.

Bringer Air Cargo has once again made history, this time by operating the first international wide-body freighter to land directly at Navegantes Airport (NVT), one of Brazil’s most strategic import gateways. Located in the State of Santa Catarina, the region has become a powerhouse for industrial growth and a vital entry point for global commerce.

On the morning of November 26, the inaugural Boeing 767-300F touched down safely at NVT, marking a turning point for the airport, the state, and the broader logistics community. The milestone flight launches a new chapter in connectivity between the US and southern Brazil.

During the initial ramp-up period, Bringer Air Cargo will operate weekly frequencies, with plans to expand to three or four weekly flights as market demand increases.

This historic achievement is the result of a vision Bringer Air Cargo first set in motion in 2019, later delayed by the pandemic and regulatory complexities. Working closely with its aeronautical consulting team, Bringer conducted in-depth technical, safety, and infrastructure analyses at NVT, concluding that several airport upgrades were essential before wide-body operations could take place.

The improvements included:

> Runway extension of at least 100 meters to accommodate long-haul cargo aircraft
> Widening of the emergency lane by 45 meters
> Upgrades to manoeuvring and parking areas to safely receive a Boeing 767-300F

These upgrades were indispensable to enabling operations with the B767-300F, which offers a payload capacity of up to 50 tons.

This coordinated effort brought together Bringer Air Cargo, Motiva Airports, and PACLOG Cargo Terminals, ultimately securing the necessary approvals and paving the way for the long-awaited landing. The inaugural operation was performed aboard a LATAM Airlines Boeing 767-300F, operated under Bringer’s cargo programme.

Bringer Air Cargo is a member of the International Clearing House (ICH) and part of the Bringer Corporation Group, founded in 1983. For more than 40 years, Bringer has built a reputation for delivering excellence in air cargo solutions around the world. With the successful launch of the MIA–NVT route, Bringer Air Cargo strengthens its footprint in one of Brazil’s most dynamic logistics corridors and reaffirms its dedication to supporting global supply chains with reliable, accessible, and scalable air freight solutions.

Due to ongoing congestion issues in North European Ports, CMA CGM will implement revised Detention & Demurrage conditions for all shipments through French, German, Belgian and Dutch ports, effective 01 January 2026

These adjustments are designed to streamline cargo flows, ensure smoother operations across these ports in preventing potential vessel deviation or omission, and optimise equipment availability.

DP World is expanding its freight forwarding operations to Sweden, connecting importers and exporters to DP World’s global network. Opening in February, DP World’s new Stockholm and Gothenburg freight offices will support trade routes between Sweden and key DP World markets in the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, bolstering DP World’s global network of 180 business units across 70 countries.

The expansion is being supported by regional partners including DP World-owned company Foodtankers, who recently celebrated their 70th anniversary of operations in Sweden, as well as Business Sweden, the Swedish Trade and Invest Council, and local warehousing providers, final mile and pre-on carriage companies.

The Stockholm and Gothenburg offices will also benefit from the rollout of DP World’s Cargoes platform, strengthening Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) connectivity with global clients and streamlining customs operations for Swedish exporters.

Supporting DP World’s global net zero by 2050 ambition, DP World Sweden is aiming to offer up to 25.0% of shipments via rail and sea in the first operational year to reduce road emissions and 100.0% e-documentation and online invoicing to eliminate paper processes.

Aligning with DP World’s ‘Our World, Our Future’ programme, it will also support local education and equality initiatives in Sweden, exploring partnerships with Transportföretagen and Logistiknätverk Göteborg to foster new innovation and skills.

Black Friday 2025 marked a spectacular surge for ID Logistics Germany, which achieved a historic logistics performance and confirmed its position among the leading eCommerce players in the country.

With the opening in 2025 of four new sites fully dedicated to eCommerce, ID Logistics Germany reached an unprecedented milestone: more than 1.1 million parcels processed in just 24 hours. In a single day, the teams prepared over 500,000 parcels in fulfilment centres and dispatched more than 600,000 parcels through sortation centres. This rapid scaling positions ID Logistics among the top logistics operators in the German eCommerce market, capable of absorbing the most intense demand peaks.

ID Logistics Germany now operates a fully integrated eCommerce logistics chain, from fulfilment to sorting and, since 2024, all the way to last-mile delivery. The teams handle a wide variety of products, ranging from everyday consumer goods to heavy and bulky items, as well as premium cosmetics and specialised merchandise. With its four new sites, the Group’s eCommerce network now exceeds 450,000 m2 and mobilises more than 3,500 employees during peak periods.

ID Logistics has been present in Germany since 2013. The Group now employs up to 4,500 permanent staff across its warehouses nationwide, with strong expertise in eCommerce as well as in the FMCG and retail sectors.

bpost is launching the bbox boutique, an innovative hub designed to reinvent urban parcel logistics for local residents, consumers, retailers, eCommerce players and public authorities. In the first four boutiques, two in Brussels and two in Antwerp, bpost will experiment with new logistics services, while also allowing parcels to be sent and collected.

With the introduction of this new concept, bpost strengthens its role as a leading logistics player with a clear focus on parcels, convenience, proximity and sustainability. With the bbox boutique, bpost aims to test and roll out new services for different target groups:

For consumers and retailers:

> Allowing neighbourhood residents or passers-by to collect and send parcels.
> Offering promotions or product launches for eCommerce companies in search of a physical location in the city, where they can also offer their best-selling products to consumers.
> Sending items without labels or packaging from one private individual to another.

For local communities:

> Click & Collect for local shops: the retailer places the order in a locker, and the buyer collects it whenever they want, even outside opening hours.
> Offering same-day pickup of missed deliveries for city residents.
> Renting bbox lockers as private storage for residents or visitors during shopping trips or museum visits

For logistics players:

> Offering same-day delivery through microwarehousing: this allows eCommerce players to have orders delivered on the same day from their warehouses around the city to a bbox boutique.
> Night Delivery for businesses: postal workers deliver professionals’ work materials during the night to a bbox boutique near their workplace or home, saving them time in the morning by avoiding a stop at the Company depot.

The bbox boutiques are freely accessible from 6am to 9pm., and outside those hours via a QR code linked to the specific parcel. They are constantly monitored and cleaned daily to ensure a safe and reliable experience for all users.

In recent weeks, four boutiques have opened in ‘soft launch’ mode, two in Brussels and two in Antwerp. These locations are already processing a growing number of parcels per day, confirming the clear demand for such urban solutions. Interest is also coming from commercial partners, who are spontaneously reaching out to test or offer services in the boutiques.

The bbox boutique brings together all bpost parcel services in one accessible location featuring up to 300 lockers. bpost also expects to open additional bbox boutiques in Belgian cities next year. These will be added to the existing network, which surpassed 4,000 pickup points in November and consists of Post Offices, Post Points, Parcel Points and bbox lockers – a trend that will continue to gain momentum next year.

Geopost has announced the launch of Geopost Vision, a new entity dedicated to unlocking the value of the vehicle fleet data of its business units for the benefit of partners in mapping, smart mobility and infrastructure planning. With its new venture, Geopost leverages its 65,000-vehicle fleet to collect road data on a constant basis, bringing fresh street-level imagery to Europe at scale. Using state-of-the-art technology, Geopost Vision provides GDPR-compliant insights to partners in mapping, smart mobility and infrastructure planning.

Geopost Vision already covers millions of kilometres in 11 countries and will expand EU-wide by 2026. By harnessing Geopost’s unmatched delivery network and state-of-the-art camera technology, the Company is building Europe’s most up-to-date and scalable street-level imagery platform, providing access to GDPR compliant data that can enhance navigation and road safety, or improving the quality of urban infrastructure.

Geopost operates over 65,000 vehicles every day via its business units, covering more than 2.0 billion kilometres per year across 22 countries. With Geopost Vision, the Group leverages the breadth of its delivery fleet to provide up-to-date, high-frequency, GDPR-compliant road environment data.

Geopost Vision equips several thousand vehicles from Geopost brands such as DPD, SEUR, BRT, and Chronopost with connected state-of-the-art dashcams. These cameras, integrated into delivery routes, passively and continuously collect anonymised, GDPR-compliant imagery across urban, suburban, and rural environments. Every delivery tour is turned into an opportunity to better understand Europe’s evolving streetscape and achieving unmatched coverage and refresh frequency. This data is made available through APIs to clients including mapping providers, mobility companies, smart city stakeholders and insurers.

Conscious of its responsibility as a data collector, Geopost Vision is fully committed to the strictest privacy and compliance policies. All collected imagery undergo strict anonymisation to remove personal identifiers such as faces and license plates, ensuring full adherence to GDPR and the highest standards of data protection. Moreover, the imagery is never made publicly available and is only used by Geopost Vision customers to detect, for example, new objects on the road such as road signs, speed limits and traffic lights.

Geopost Vision’s imagery is already available in 11 European countries (UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Portugal, and the Netherlands) and will be soon expanded to 10 more (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belgium, Luxembourg, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Romania). In total, the solution will cover 21 European countries by mid-2026.

Geopost Vision currently supports organisations across multiple sectors, including:
> Mapping & Navigation – validating and refreshing road networks
> Automotive & Autonomous Driving – providing real-world training imagery for ADAS and SDV development
> Infrastructure & Maintenance – monitoring road conditions
> Smart Cities & Mobility – supporting urban planning and mobility insights
> Insurance & Risk Assessment – enhancing claims validation and risk analysis
> Consulting & Strategy Firms – powering location intelligence and mobility innovation

The launch of Geopost Vision reflects Geopost’s ambition to actively support the development of resilient, data-driven infrastructure and services in Europe. By offering up-to-date, granular road data at scale, the Company aims to play a key role in the improvement of mobility for all, from drivers to platforms, cities and citizens.

Lufthansa Cargo and Swiss WorldCargo, the air freight divisions of Lufthansa Group, are embarking on a new strategic cooperation, deepening commercial and operational synergies to enhance customer value. While both organisations will maintain their distinct brands and strengths, they are aligning closely to lead through the ongoing changes in the air freight industry and global trade.

Over the next months, Lufthansa Cargo and Swiss WorldCargo will unlock synergies in various commercial and operational fields, creating one face to the customer along with a unified market approach, harmonising range of services, shipment flows, and operational procedures as well as utilising one IT platform, thereby generating added value for the cargo customers and partners of Lufthansa Group.

Lufthansa Cargo and Swiss WorldCargo are reputed and respected cargo solution providers, both part of the Lufthansa Group, complementing each other regarding their offering and focus.

Swiss WorldCargo is the expert for high-value, care-intensive, time-critical air freight focused on the belly capacity through efficient, personalised and high-quality services across more than 130 destinations worldwide, while Lufthansa Cargo is the efficiency leader with a global capacity offering of both belly as well as freighter capacity, and a broad network, leading in digitalisation and well-known for its innovative solutions.

Retaining both individual brands and combining their unique strengths with a more distinct and comprehensive product and service portfolio will benefit its customers and partners.

DP World has approved a new R$1.6 billion (US$296.0 million) investment cycle to further strengthen Brazil’s trade capacity and enhance terminal operations at the Port of Santos, increasing total handling capacity by 25.0% to 2.1 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) by 2028.

The new investment adds to more than R$3.0 billion (US$555.0 million) of capital deployed since DP World launched operations in Brazil in 2013, reinforcing its position as one of the largest private port investors in the country and a key driver of national logistics competitiveness.

These sustained investments have supported strong operational growth. In 2024, the terminal recorded a 14.0% increase in container throughput, handling more than 1.25 million TEUs – a new annual record. Since 2013, the terminal in Santos has processed over 10 million TEUs and nearly 20 million tons of cellulose – a key raw material widely used in producing paper, packaging, hygiene products, and textiles – solidifying its position as one of Brazil’s most vital logistics hubs. The terminal’s continued expansion positions it to handle larger vessels and rising export demand across Brazilian industries.

The new R$1.6 billion investment builds on a previously announced R$450.0 million (US$83.3 million) expansion currently underway. That phase includes a 190-meter quay extension that increases berth flexibility and will raise capacity to 1.7 million TEUs by 2026.

In 2023, DP World in Brazil began electrifying its fleet of 22 rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) – which has already resulted in a reduction of over 1,000 metric tons of CO2 as of June 2025 (compared to the same period in 2024).

With the newly approved investment, total terminal capacity will increase further, from 1.7 million TEUs to 2.1 million TEUs by 2028. The R$1.6 billion investment will support a comprehensive terminal expansion designed to handle larger vessels, higher cargo volumes, and greater operational efficiency.

Key upgrades include:

> Construction of a new berth and expanded yard supported by a new deck on piles
> Upgraded access gates and expanded inspection areas
> Additional reefer towers to serve rapidly growing agricultural exports
> New operational buildings and support infrastructure
> Acquisition of four quay cranes, 15 RTGs, and 40 internal transfer vehicles (ITVs), aligned with DP World’s global decarbonization strategy

Collectively, these enhancements will accelerate cargo flow, increase reliability, and deliver improved service for Brazil’s importers and exporters, while enabling more energy-efficient, lower-emission operations.

DP World has also invested heavily in modernising its infrastructure and operations – extending quay length, deploying advanced technology, improving efficiency, and reducing carbon emissions. The Company employs more than 2,200 people across Brazil, contributing to job creation, regional development, and community advancement.

Its decarbonisation efforts, including the electrification of yard equipment and reducing CO2 emissions, align with DP World’s global net zero pathway and Brazil’s national climate commitments.

GEODIS has signed a strategic interline agreement with Atlas Air and mas, to significantly expand its air freight network across South America. This collaboration reflects the shared commitment of the three partners to strengthen connectivity and provide reliable, efficient logistics solutions across the region.

As part of this agreement, GEODIS will further strengthen its air freight network in Colombia, Brazil, Panama, Chile and Costa Rica. The partnership increases the Company's ability to offer direct connections from the Asian Pacific region like Hong Kong via Mexico, expanding freighter capacity, reliability and reach for customers. This expansion is expected to particularly support growth in Brazil, a key market in South America.

By leveraging the interline agreement, GEODIS, Atlas Air and mas will ensure seamless operational integration. The collaboration allows efficient cargo transfers between flights operated by the three partners, providing customers with smoother, faster and more reliable delivery options.

Air freight demand in and out of Central and South America has grown by more than 30.0% over the last 12 months. This interline agreement reinforces a commitment to providing customers with a broader, more reliable network and increased capacity.

The success of this initiative marks a key step in GEODIS' long-term investment in South America, highlighting the Group's strategic vision and ability to develop innovative solutions tailored to customer needs. Building on this partnership, GEODIS will continue to expand its network and enhance operational excellence throughout the region.

The Customization Group’s desire to remove the complexity from last mile deliveries, while still offering great customer service and choice, led the retailer to form a new partnership with Maersk.

From its beginnings in a garage in Cologne, Germany nearly 20 years ago, the Customization Group is now a global leader in mass customisation. Allowing millions of customers worldwide to personalise a range of products on demand – from wall art to photo books.

But serving over 170 countries and producing more than 2,500,000 customised items a day of all different sizes and weights creates logistical challenges, particularly in the final mile.

The Company’s products range from a small print to a large canvas with a volumetric weight. It constantly juggles last-mile providers, consolidates shipping lanes, and adapts to regional nuances. This complexity led the retailer to a new partnership with Maersk, launched in December 2025. Covering both last-mile delivery to end consumers, Pick Up and Drop Off (PUDO) points – like lockers and local shops – across Europe, and home delivery across Western Europe and the Nordics.

A brand built on the power of customisation and choice needs flexibility in logistics, too. Maersk’s last mile delivery solution is multicarrier, meaning The Customization Group can offer delivery and access to PUDO points via several carriers: whichever best suits the product, the customer or the circumstances.

The Customization Group chose Maersk because the offer was a meaningful addition that made sense economically, could increase customer happiness, and can streamline its logistics operation. Having a network of PUDO partners also means it can offer full coverage. The Company sees a lot of potential to increase the speed of delivery versus unsuccessful deliveries to home addresses.

The Customization Group believe it should be possible for any customer to pick up their product within 10 minutes from their home, and the broad range of PUDO points available via Maersk brings this goal closer than ever. But it’s important to be able to switch last-mile carriers for other reasons, too.

The last mile has to be streamlined and efficient – and that is what The Customization Group is really hoping to get from the partnership with Maersk. If there’s a strike, performance issue or challenge with capacity, Maersk’s solution is flexible enough to switch to any last-mile carrier – all within the same API. Changing the provider can now happen very quickly through Maersk’s one-stop shop, rather than taking the typical 3-6 months.

It’s useful to have the right parcel solution for the right job, like choosing the offering with the lowest oversize charge for the largest products. But managing lots of different last-mile carriers can be complex. Which is why Maersk acts as a consolidator of all the contracts, dealing with the carriers on The Customization Group’s behalf to minimise complexity.

Smart integration connects multiple carriers into a single platform. This gives them the flexibility in carrier choice without the complexity of managing each carrier individually.

On-demand production is an industry based around creating what is needed, so it is inherently less wasteful. Because every order is personalised, The Customization Group has a close to zero return rate, which means fewer wasted resources and products ending up in landfill. That’s not comparable to other eCommerce industries like fashion, where high return rates drive unnecessary shipping and excess inventory. This business model results in significantly lower emissions, fewer shipping cycles, and a supply chain that is inherently more efficient and responsible.

Sustainability is a core value at The Customization Group and was an essential part of the criteria in choosing a logistics partner. Maersk is integrating the world for a sustainable future, with a focus on going ‘All the way to zero’: a commitment to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the business by 2040.

The future is full of possibilities for growth for The Customization Group, which is well positioned in North America and Europe to continue to expand in these markets. Beyond its consumer business, The Customization Group is also expanding partnerships with B2B and white-label clients. By powering on-demand personalisation behind the scenes for major brands and corporate partners, the Company enables organisations to offer customised products under their own name, without needing to invest in production or logistics infrastructure. With Maersk’s flexible parcel delivery services and ability to scale across borders, these B2B collaborations can grow faster while maintaining reliable, sustainable logistics at their core.

If the partnership is successful, The Customization Group could explore ocean freight and US-based last mile solutions. There’s potential for Maersk to play a larger role in its global logistics, especially in areas where it is seeking better consolidation, predictability, or service innovation.

INDEX Conferences & Exhibitions, a member of INDEX Holding and one of the leading event organisers in the UAE, announced the signing of a strategic partnership with Rhenus Logistics to serve as the exclusive official provider of logistics, freight forwarding and onsite handling services across all INDEX exhibitions scheduled for the years 2026 and 2027.

Through this agreement, INDEX streamlines its event operations while gaining access to Rhenus Logistics’ global expertise.

These developments reinforce the Company’s ability to deliver the high-standard logistics solutions essential to supporting INDEX’s large-scale exhibitions across the country.

As part of the agreement, the partnership will cover INDEX’s flagship exhibitions scheduled for 2026 and 2027. For the 2026 calendar alone, these events collectively span approximately 109,300 m2. The annual lineup includes the UAE International Dental Conference and Arab Dental Exhibition (AEEDC Dubai); the Dubai International Pharmaceuticals & Technologies Conference and Exhibition (DUPHAT); the Dubai World Dermatology and Laser Conference and Exhibition (Dubai Derma); the Dubai International Humanitarian Aid & Development Conference & Exhibition (DIHAD); the International Emergency and Catastrophe Management Conference and Exhibition (IECM); the National Service Career Fair (NSCF); and the Dubai International Content Market (DICM). Given the international profile and scale of these exhibitions, strong logistical coordination remains essential to safeguarding the high standards for which INDEX is recognised.

The collaboration between INDEX Conferences & Exhibitions and Rhenus Logistics offers a strengthened foundation for delivering well-coordinated, high-quality exhibitions and enhancing the overall experience for exhibitors, partners and visitors across all events, supporting the UAE’s wider vision to set new benchmarks in hosting world-class exhibitions.

HYROX, the competitive fitness format that is transforming the way thousands of people around the world train and compete, has selected XPO Logistics as its logistics partner to manage all events in Spain and Italy from start to finish.

Operations are orchestrated from XPO Logistics' hub in Madrid, where all competition components are stored, prepared and maintained. Planning teams from HYROX and XPO Logistics work closely to adapt each deployment to venue access, loading schedules and operational restrictions.

CEVA Logistics, in collaboration with CooperVision Asia Pacific, has opened a new Regional Service Centre in Singapore, marking a significant milestone in both companies’ commitment to enhance supply chain and logistics capabilities across the Asia Pacific region.

Strategically located in CEVA’s healthcare hub facility within Singapore’s Airport Logistics Park, a designated free trade zone adjacent to Changi Airport, the centre marks the first phase of a broader infrastructure investment plan focused on strengthening regional leadership and driving operational excellence.

CEVA’s robust logistics network, specialised infrastructure, and expert teams in healthcare quality assurance and regulatory compliance, will help position CooperVision to drive continued growth and elevate service standards across the region.

CooperVision, a division of CooperCompanies, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of contact lenses. The Singapore-based centre brings even greater choice to eye care professionals and patients across Asia Pacific, making up to 7,000 additional SKUs available regionally across CooperVision’s world-leading toric and multifocal contact lens portfolio.

As the rollout progresses, the new Regional Service Centre will reduce reliance on local stockholding and deliver faster fulfilment on non-stocked items. By centralising inventory, this model will further expand product access, enhance flexibility and drive sustainable cost efficiencies, ensuring a seamless experience across the region.

To further enhance the operational efficiency of the new service centre, CEVA Logistics deployed a healthcare-focused warehouse management system and introduced in-house laser marking used in repackaging, for which CEVA obtained licensing from the National Environment Agency. Now fully operational, the regional service centre positions CooperVision to meet the evolving needs of eye care professionals and patients across Asia Pacific.

SIIM and CMA CGM have signed a strategic agreement for 2026 covering the weekly transport of more than 70 refrigerated containers of pineapples and bananas from Latin America to Dunkirk. With this flow, SIIM will consolidate over 5,000 containers originating from Africa and Latin America in 2026. This partnership confirms Dunkirk’s position as France’s leading port for tropical fruits, strengthening a high-performing logistics and food supply chain.

This agreement represents an annual volume of more than 80,000 tonnes, now carried by CMA CGM.

From January 2026, more than 70 refrigerated containers will be transported each week on the new configuration of the NEWFI (PCRF XL) service linking Latin America to Northern Europe, operated by CMA CGM, with exclusive discharge in Dunkirk, the first European port of call served. These flows handled by SIIM, specialised in the production, import and ripening of tropical fruits and vegetables and previously routed through the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, will now be directed to the French port.

This agreement reflects Omer-Decugis & Cie’s ambition to make Dunkirk, France’s leading port for the import of fresh fruit and vegetables in containers, the main port of destination for its products. Beyond its West African mango and coconut campaigns, SIIM will thereby route more than 10,000 TEU through the port in 2026. Supported by Dunkirk-Port and the wider port community, this partnership further consolidates the French port’s position as a major logistics hub in Northern Europe for the distribution of temperature-controlled fruits and vegetables and strengthens its status as a preferred gateway for fruits from Africa and Latin America.

The Czech company NOVIKO Animal Health, a member of the Covetrus group, has begun using new premises at Panattoni Business Park Zdice. The Company supplies pet food under the Calibra brand, as well as pet and livestock care products under the Covetrus brand. Thanks to the modern 12,400 m2 premises, NOVIKO Animal Health will expand its storage capacity and support the international expansion of its most important brands. From Zdice, it will primarily distribute products requiring specific storage conditions, for which the building's cooling system has been adapted.

Calibra is a brand of premium and super-premium feed, treats, and other supplements for dogs, cats, and small rodents. The brand also offers a complete portfolio of specialised veterinary diets. Calibra was founded in the Czech Republic more than 20 years ago and is now actively sold in more than 40 countries around the world.

Covetrus products are designed with animal health professionals in mind, delivering simple, effective, high-quality solutions at a reasonable price. Thanks to their deep industry knowledge, innovative ways of working, and trusted advice, veterinarians in more than 40 countries around the world use Covetrus products in their daily practice.

The new premises enable NOVIKO Animal Health to distribute products that require specific storage conditions. Among other things, the building is equipped with a cooling system that ensures that the internal temperature does not exceed 25 degrees Celsius.

A significant part of the complex is set aside for natural elements and greenery, which, together with the light-coloured facade, reduces the heat island effect. There is also a retention reservoir for collecting rainwater, which promotes efficient water management. The industrial park was built at a sufficient distance from the city's residential areas. This means that freight transport serving companies in the complex doesn´t pass through residential neighbourhoods.

Panattoni Park Zdice is connected to the D5 motorway near exit 28. It is located approximately 40 km southwest of Prague and 120 km from Rozvadov on the Czechia-German border. German motorways provide convenient connections to Nuremberg, Regensburg, and Munich. There is also a railway corridor for long-distance and freight transport and the main train terminal in Zdice near the site.

By the end of 2027, JYSK aims to open a brand new distribution centre in Italy to support the home furnishing retailer’s continued growth in Italy and other existing markets across Europe.

As JYSK continues to open more stores in existing countries, the first step will be to rent a warehouse of 50,000-60,000 m2 in the northern part of Italy.

This will be similar to the current setup in Spain, where JYSK is currently renting a warehouse, while construction of a new distribution centre is underway. The new distribution centre will be placed in Almenara, north of Valencia.

Both the temporary warehouse and the future distribution centre will deliver products to all stores in Italy as well as handling online orders. With this initiative, the Company will be able to deliver faster and more efficiently, both to its stores and directly to online customers. This will improve the customer experience.

The logistics team at JYSK has already begun looking for a location to rent as well as a potential plot for the future distribution centre.

The new distribution centre will be number 11 for JYSK, and construction of number nine and 10 are currently underway in Lelystad, Netherlands, and Almenara, Spain. In September, the Lelystad distribution centre reached its highest point of 46 metres. In October, JYSK announced its decision to choose Bertolín as the main contractor for the construction in Spain.

JYSK expect its growth across Europe to continue, and by strengthening its combined logistics setup, it will distribute the workload better between its distribution centres. In addition, the move will have a reduction in CO2 emissions, as products will be transported fewer kilometres than from a current distribution centre in southern Germany to stores across Italy.

JYSK currently operates 109 stores in Italy, including the web shop at JYSK.it, and the improved logistics setup will support the continued expansion with new stores in the country.

DHL Supply Chain has announced a five-year strategic alliance with Robust.AI, a pioneer in collaborative robotics systems. Following successful deployments in North America, DHL Supply Chain will now introduce Robust.AI’s Carter robots in Latin America, with a rollout of 15 units in its retail operations in Mexico.

The partnership with Robust.AI is a key element of DHL Supply Chain’s strategy focused on identifying and deploying scalable, commercially viable robotic and automation technologies that deliver immediate operational benefits. Robust.AI is one of DHL’s selected strategic partners, with first Carter robots already in commercial use across North America, many more robots signed for near-term deployment and a strong expansion trajectory across The Americas and regions beyond.

The deployment builds on the proven success of Carter robots in DHL Supply Chain’s North America operations, where Carter is already in commercial use. In those environments, Carter has consistently improved productivity by over 60.0%, while enhancing safety and operational efficiency. In Mexico, the improvement so far has reached 30.0%. This is not an isolated application - it signals DHL’s readiness to leverage collaborative robotics in Mexico in a way that creates tangible value for DHL customers, employees and the business. The robots will be integrated into DHL’s Warehouse Management System (WMS) by 2026, with a phased rollout plan designed for flexible scaling. This approach allows immediate value creation for employees and customers, while gradually advancing toward deeper system integration.

Deploying Carter across multiple DHL facilities, joining a global workforce, and showing value in spaces with varying levels of tech integration, is an important and exciting milestone in an expanding partnership with DHL. Choosing flexible, human-centred, safe automation with a lower barrier to entry is a faster path to ROI - but it also shows employees you’re putting them first.

Carter’s modular design makes it particularly well-suited for this approach. It can be introduced with basic functionality - such as motor-assisted movement that reduces physical strain and improves ergonomics - before scaling up to more advanced capabilities like autonomous navigation through integration with DHL’s Warehouse Management System. Carter supports point-to-point operations, enabling dynamic and intelligent, autonomous goods movement within facilities. This flexibility allows DHL to tailor deployments to each site’s level of technological readiness, while also enabling the relocation of robots between operations to support seasonal peaks or shifting customer needs.

DHL Supply Chain plans to deploy hundreds of Carter robots across its Americas operations in the coming years, with potential expansion into other regions under review. This cross-country, cross-regional deployment model reflects DHL’s commitment to leveraging automation technologies that are not only scalable and efficient, but also adaptable to the specific needs of each site and market.

Berglandmilch, one of Austria’s largest dairy processing and distribution companies, is partnering with KNAPP for SAP expertise to unify its IT system landscape. KNAPP IT Solutions, the SAP competence centre of the KNAPP Group, is designing and implementing SAP EWM by KNAPP as a template solution for a comprehensive WMS retrofit project. Over the next several years, SAP WM and non-SAP WMS systems will be replaced at four Berglandmilch locations.

Berglandmilch eGen, headquartered in Wels, is Austria’s largest dairy processor and one of Central Europe’s leading food producers. Its brand portfolio includes well-known names such as Schärdinger, Tirol Milch, Stainzer, and Lattella. As a registered cooperative, Berglandmilch processes around 1.3 billion kilograms of milk annually from over 7,800 farming members. The Company efficiently and sustainably manages the entire value chain, from raw milk intake to storage and delivery, with maximum freshness.

Currently, Berglandmilch utilises several WMS solutions for warehouse management. The distribution centre in Aschbach-Markt operates with a non-SAP system, while the sites in Geinberg, Feldkirchen, and Wörgl use SAP WM.

The initiative to standardise the WMS landscape with SAP EWM by KNAPP began with a comprehensive solution concept. This concept, based on a process analysis of the affected warehouses, outlines recommended approaches, risk assessments, critical success factors, a timeline, and a budget framework for the SAP EWM rollout.

The focus of the solution concept was the state-of-the-art, fully automated logistics centre in Aschbach with around 20,700 pallet spaces. However, the warehouses in Wörgl, Feldkirchen, and Geinberg were also considered as part of the template solution. This approach enables efficient implementation of SAP EWM across all four distribution centres, with seamless integration of existing automation technologies from various third-party providers. Moreover, the solution is designed to be flexible and future-proof, allowing Berglandmilch to adapt to market changes and potential expansions in its site network.

The template solution is tailored to Berglandmilch’s industry- and customer-specific requirements. In detail, SAP EWM by KNAPP will replace the existing WMS solutions at the four sites and integrate, without middleware, the existing automation technologies such as palletising systems, conveyor technology, and automated guided vehicles from different providers. In Aschbach-Markt, the logistics centre with the highest level of automation, SAP EWM MFS will serve as the new WCS layer, controlling all processes and technologies within an end-to-end SAP system landscape. KiSoft SCADA will complement SAP EWM by providing continuous monitoring of the technical status of the highly automated production and distribution line in Aschbach and visualising all system components.

Additionally, the new SAP EWM solution will significantly increase transparency: Berglandmilch’s existing production planning system will communicate with SAP EWM via a custom-developed interface. Building on proven functions from previous proprietary WMS systems, a production and picking cockpit as well as a tour overview will be replicated in SAP EWM by KNAPP.

The SAP EWM by KNAPP implementation is rolled out in stages at each location. Geinberg will go live in 2026, followed by Aschbach in 2027. Feldkirchen and Wörgl will complete the rollout in 2028. All four logistics centres will continue to be receive support from KNAPP’s SAP EWM experts through a 24/7 SAP EWM service desk.

GEODIS has announced the launch of the region’s first cross-border trucking operation to be powered by Neste MY Renewable Diesel, marking a major milestone in the decarbonisation of its regional road network.

Interion, a Singapore-based fuel solutions provider, will enable the fuel distribution and delivery for the pilot operations.

Renewable diesel, also known as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), is produced from 100.0% renewable raw materials such as used cooking oil and animal fat waste. The use of Neste’s renewable diesel, enables up to 90.0% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to using conventional diesel across the lifecycle of the fuel. A drop-in fuel, renewable diesel can be used in existing diesel engines without any modification and offers an immediate and scalable pathway for lowering transport GHG emissions across operational fleets.

Conducted in collaboration with Neste and Interion, the pilot will evaluate real-world fuel performance, cross-border operational feasibility, supply chain reliability, and carbon-reduction outcomes. Insights gained will help shape GEODIS’ wider adoption plans for renewable fuels across the Asia Pacific region.

The gas boilers have been replaced with next-generation heat pumps, a high-performance solution that significantly reduces energy consumption and the carbon footprint. This initiative is fully aligned with ARGAN’s ambitious environmental policy.

The simultaneous commissioning of this equipment across all four sites marks the successful completion of a coordinated project carried out on occupied premises, without any disruption to logistics operations.

A major environmental impact is achieved with 700 tons of CO2 avoided each year, equivalent to the annual emissions of 120 French citizens. This project is fully in line with ARGAN’s goal of reducing the carbon emissions of its portfolio, with the aim to lower them from 24,000 tons in 2022 to 12,000 tons in 2030, i.e., -50.0%.

DHL Supply Chain has taken delivery of its first all-electric Tesla Semi, marking a significant milestone in DHL’s group-wide commitment to reduce absolute CO2e emissions to 29.0 million metric tons in 2030 and be net zero by 2050. The addition expands DHL Supply Chain’s fleet of Class 8 electric vehicles in North America to more than 150, reinforcing the Company’s leadership in more sustainable transportation.

The Tesla Semi joins DHL’s operations following a successful pilot in Livermore, Calif., where the truck covered over 3,000 miles (5,000 km) of regular routes. During testing, the all-electric truck demonstrated outstanding efficiency, averaging 1.72 kWh per mile while hauling a gross combined weight of 75,000 pounds (34 metric tons) over a 390-mile (625 km) long-haul route.

The pilot of the Tesla Semi exceeded expectations, proving its ability to efficiently haul a typical DHL freight over long distances on a single charge. With its range of up to 500 miles, the Semi unlocks opportunities that were previously beyond the limits of heavy-duty EVs.

Now operating from its new home in Central California, the truck is travelling approximately 100 miles per day, requires charging about once per week, and offers a range of up to 500 miles fully loaded. Additionally, it is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 metric tons annually.

DHL plans to add more Semis in 2026 as Tesla begins its volume production, further accelerating its transition to net zero-emission logistics. For customers, this means lower supply chain emissions and greater alignment with their own sustainability objectives.

Fenn Logistics has taken delivery of two new Volvo FM Electric 4x2 tractor units. The zero tailpipe emission trucks will replace two diesel powered units working exclusively on contract with one of the world’s largest food and beverage manufacturers.

Fenn Logistics worked closely with its local Volvo Trucks dealer, Hartshorne Group, to calculate the exact routes that the electric trucks would be best suited for. For the last 18 months, more than half of its fleet has migrated to HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) fuel. The Company is always looking at the latest technologies to deliver carbon savings for customers. This first move to electric power is the next step of that process.

It’s been a detailed project with Volvo to prove the concept. The Company looked at the data and modelling to make sure it found the optimal application.

The two FM Electrics will operate on the same routes every day, transporting goods from the customer’s factory to its East Midlands Gateway, UK, distribution centre, before they go out for delivery nationwide. The trucks will work double-shifts, moving six loads across a 24-hour cycle, with charging taking place between runs.

Each FM Electric is equipped with the maximum six batteries, unlocking a driving range of approximately 300 km. Power is supplied by three electrical motors which generate 666 hp and 2,400 Nm of continuous torque. An onboard electromobility traction control system helps manage output on slippery surfaces, while different drive modes are available to set the desired performance, comfort, and energy usage levels.

The trucks – which benefit from spacious Globetrotter cabs – utilise Volvo’s standard I-Shift gearbox, which delivers a smooth and ultra-quiet driving experience by constantly evaluating information about speed, weight, road grade and torque demand.

Volvo’s Camera Monitoring System (CMS) replaces the traditional exterior mirrors, helping to improve aerodynamic performance, while boosting safety and visibility. The CMS increases the driver’s field of view and performs strongly in rainy and dark conditions, direct sunlight and even when driving in tunnels.

Fenn Logistics has taken on two new drivers who applied specifically to drive the electric trucks and hopes this this could be a pattern for the future, where drivers also look at matters such as the environment as part of their decision making when selecting employers.

Both new FMs – expected to clock up roughly 115,000 km per year – are backed by a full Volvo Gold contract which guarantees maximum uptime and covers all maintenance and repairs, including proactive monitoring of batteries and associated components.

Fenn Logistics provides transport, warehousing and supply chain services from its base near Burton-on-Trent for clients mainly in the food retail sector.

Ports of Stockholm, Aker BP and Höegh Evi are initiating a collaboration to establish a CO2 logistics hub at Stockholm Norvik Port. This will enable an efficient and sustainable transport chain for carbon dioxide from industrial emitters in eastern Sweden.

The collaboration began in May 2025 and is a continuation of the NICE project (Norvik Infrastructure CCS East Sweden), which previously conducted a feasibility study in collaboration with a number of stakeholders. The continued work focuses on a detailed design of the logistics node Stockholm Norvik Port in close dialogue with suppliers and participants in the project. The goal is to enable investment decisions across the value chain.

Stockholm Norvik Port is ideally located for CO2 collection and is highly accessible for carrier ships transporting the CO2 to its permanent storage site.

By establishing a logistics hub for carbon dioxide at Stockholm Norvik Port, it is possible to create an efficient and sustainable transport chain for carbon dioxide from many potential emitters in eastern Sweden and around the Baltic Sea. This has the potential to become a groundbreaking project that enables a robust, integrated, and scalable European CCS network and make a significant contribution to achieving EU and Sweden’s ambitious climate goals.

Achieving Sweden’s climate targets, including net zero emissions by 2045, will require large scale deployment of negative emissions and CO2 storage. A functional and reliable logistics chain will be essential to enable CCS for industries across eastern central Sweden.

CTP has completed the installation of the largest continuous vertical garden in the Czech Republic at CTPark Prague North, part of a unique scientific research project being carried out in cooperation with the Czech University of Life Sciences (“CZU”) and Czech vertical garden specialists Němec.

Covering an area of around 1,300 m2 and comprising over 45,000 plants of various species meticulously selected by CZU scientists for research purposes, the facade at CTPark Prague North ranks among the largest of its kind in the world and is focused on reducing the heat load and mitigating heat islands created at industrial sites. Initial results show that the surface temperature of the newly installed green wall at CTPark Prague North can be up to 15C lower during summer days compared to a conventional facade.

The project is part of scientific research conducted under the EU-funded OP TAK programme to support Czech entrepreneurs, which awarded Němec a grant for their innovative vertical garden system. The result is a unique collaboration between the scientific community and two private companies to determine how plants can contribute to improving the microclimate at industrial parks. Němec’s patented Cascade Garden system is expected to function as natural air conditioning, helping to regulate the temperature both inside and around the building.

The facade is equipped with an irrigation system that minimises water consumption and ensures even irrigation. The scientific team from CZU is monitoring how the different plants cope with extreme conditions such as direct sunlight, drought, wind, and cold. The plants are not protected or treated in any way during the winter, which allows their natural resistance to be tested.

The research project will continue until the end of 2026. The results will be analysed and made available for wider use in the field of architecture and sustainability and serve as a basis for the further use of vertical gardens in industrial parks.

Each initiative reflects Keller's commitment to scalable, real-world innovation that strengthens service, boosts reliability, and delivers meaningful results for shippers.

Royal Mail has rolled out its first fleet of eight electric Heavy Goods Vehicles (eHGVs) at its Midlands and North West Parcel Hubs. The launch is a major step forward in reducing the Company’s carbon emissions by replacing diesel-powered 42-tonne trucks with zero-emission alternatives.

The eight DAF 42-tonne XD 350E electric HGVs will operate around the clock, handling ‘middle-mile’ deliveries between parcel hubs and mail centres. Each vehicle will be powered by ABB’s high-performance T360 chargers, capable of adding up to 60 miles of range in under 15 minutes.

Thanks to its membership of Electric Freightway, Royal Mail has installed high-speed chargers at its two parcel hubs in Daventry and Warrington, which has made it possible to introduce eHGVs. The new eHGVs will save around one thousand tonnes of carbon emissions annually and lower operational costs by replacing diesel trucks with zero-emission alternatives.

Electrification is central to Royal Mail’s strategy and achieve Net-Zero by 2040. The Company already operates the UK’s largest electric delivery fleet, with over 7,000 vans charged on-site using 100.0% renewable electricity.

Electric Freightway, led by GRIDSERVE, is backed by over £100.0 million in investment, including £62.7 million of UK Government support. It will deliver the UK’s most advanced public charging networks for eHGVs, with more than 200 chargers capable of up to 350kW and supporting over 140 electric trucks nationwide. Data collected over five years will help accelerate the decarbonisation of the freight sector.

Electric Freightway is part of the Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID) programme. The ZEHID programme is backed by up to £200.0 million in funding from the UK Government and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK. With a vision to deploy around 300 of the heaviest battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on UK roads, the programme will also fund and support over 70 planned public and depot-based infrastructure installations by March 2026.
