Logista has presented its results for the first nine months of financial year 2026, spanning from 01 October 2025 to 30 June 2026. Throughout this period, the Company obtained revenues of €10.165 billion, representing a 2.3% increase compared with the same period of the previous financial year.

Excluding the effect of stock appreciation, which contributed €38.0 million compared with €45.0 million in the prior year, operating performance remained solid, supported by the positive performance of the key business units in the regions of Iberia and Italy. Including this effect, adjusted EBIT reached €296.0 million, which represents a 3.0% increase year-on-year. Moreover, economic sales reached €1.376 billion or 1.1% more than in the same period of 2025.

EBIT stood at €244.0 million, practically the same as the €245.0 million registered during the same period of 2025. Finally, net profit reached €210.0 million, or 1.8% less than in the previous year, mainly due to a lower contribution from stock appreciation and capital gains on asset sales.

In Iberia (Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and Belgium), revenue reached €3.930 billion, a 3.9% increase YoY, while economic sales stood at €884.0 million, after a slight reduction of 0.3%, caused mainly by a lower contribution from stock appreciation during this period.

Italy recorded revenues of €3.673 billion, following a 5.6% year-on-year growth, while economic sales reached €343.0 million, up 6.5%, driven by an improvement in tariffs and an increase in sales of next-generation products, as well as the positive effect of changes in inventory valuation.

In France, revenue stood at €2.610 billion, representing a 4.2% decrease over the same period of the previous financial year, while economic sales reached €154.0 million, or 2.0% less, due to a reduction in tobacco volumes in the country.

In order to maintain its commitment to attractive and sustainable shareholder remuneration, Logista continues to examine opportunities to acquire complementary and synergistic businesses that contribute to driving growth and diversification of its business base.

Union Pacific Corporation has reported Q2, 2026 net income of US$2.0 billion, up 6.0%. Strong execution and volume growth enabled another successful quarter and record financial results. Operating revenue of US$6.9 billion increased 12% driven by higher fuel surcharge, volume growth, core pricing gains and greater other revenue partially offset by business mix. Freight revenue increased 12.0% and freight revenue excluding fuel surcharge grew 4.0%.

Reported operating ratio was 59.7% and adjusted operating ratio was 59.2%, increasing 70 and 110 basis points, respectively. Higher fuel price unfavourably impacted operating ratio 120 basis points.

On the operating side, the Company reported record workforce productivity, train length, fuel consumption rate, and freight car terminal dwell (tie). Freight car velocity was 231 daily miles per car, a 5.0% increase. Average terminal dwell was 19.7 hours, a 7.0% improvement. Locomotive productivity was 142 gross ton-miles (GTMs) per horsepower day, a 1.0% increase. Fuel consumption rate was 1.051, measured in gallons of fuel per thousand GTMs, a 1.0% improvement. Workforce productivity was 1,176 car miles per employee, a 5.0% increase.

The Kuehne + Nagel Group delivered strong business performance in Q2, 2026. Net turnover increased by 8.0% year-over-year to CHF6.6 billion (11.0% in constant currencies). Gross profit climbed 3.0% year-over-year to CHF2.2 billion (6.0% in constant currencies).

Net turnover in the business unit Sea Logistics amounted to CHF2.2 billion in Q2, 2026, down 2.0%, with EBIT falling 11.0% to CHF140.0 million and gross profit declining 7.0%. The conversion rate stood at 29.0%, representing a sequential improvement of four percentage points compared with Q1, 2026. Over H1, 2026, container volumes totalled 2.1 million TEU. Q2, 2026 was characterised by continued efficiency gains across the network and market share growth on the trade from Asia to Europe and to North America. Export business from Europe remained subdued due to weak economic conditions. Through disciplined cost management, Kuehne + Nagel partially offset this decline by reducing production costs.

Net turnover in the business unit Air Logistics increased by 20.0% year-over-year to CHF2.2 billion in Q2, 2026, while EBIT rose by 35.0% to CHF154.0 million and gross profit climbed 14.0%. The conversion rate stood at 31.0%. Air freight volumes amounted to 1.1 million tonnes in H1, 2026. Performance was primarily driven by improvements in customer portfolio mix and market share gains, particularly in the tech sector. At the same time, Kuehne + Nagel further strengthened its position in end-to-end logistics solutions, for example through the transportation of cloud infrastructure equipment for Google from Asia to the US.

Net turnover in the business unit Road Logistics increased by 14.0% to CHF1.0 billion in Q2, 2026, while EBIT rose by 29.0% to CHF36.0 million and gross profit climbed 9.0%.

Net turnover in the business unit Contract Logistics increased by 2.0% to CHF1.2 billion in Q2, 2026, while EBIT rose by 21.0% to CHF51.0 million and gross profit increased 1.0%. In H1, 2026, Kuehne + Nagel Contract Logistics secured significant business from customers in the tech sector. In total, new warehouse space dedicated to cloud providers will exceed 300,000 m2.

In the first half of 2026, through the consistent execution of its efficiency programme and strong operational performance, the Group further enhanced its capabilities and attractiveness to customers. With the opening of a new IT centre in India, it is making targeted investments in efficiency as well as in its innovation and technology capabilities.

H1, 2026 net turnover declined 2.0% to CHF12.2 billion (and up 3.0% in constant currencies). Gross profit also declined 2.0% and was up 3.0% in constant currencies. EBIT declined 3.0% and grew 4.0% in constant currencies. H1, 2026 performance by business unit was as follows:

Based on the results of the first half of 2026, Kuehne + Nagel now expects recurring EBIT for the full year in the range of CHF1.35 to 1.55 billion.

DSV reported EBIT before special items of DKK6,255 million for Q2, 2026. Earnings growth was supported by improved performance in the Air & Sea and Contract Logistics divisions, despite volatile and challenging market conditions.

In Q2, 2026, revenue increased to DKK76,688.0 million, compared to DKK61,983.0 million in the same period last year. Measured in constant currencies, growth in Q2, 2026 was 23.4%. Revenue growth was reported across all divisions and was related to an additional month’s contribution from Schenker, the pass-through of higher freight rates and fuel prices, as well as underlying growth.

For H1, 2026, revenue amounted to DKK147,104.0 million, compared to DKK103,663.0 million in the same period last year. In constant currencies, growth in H1, 2026 was 43.6%.

The Company highlighted that Q2 remained challenging, characterised by geopolitical uncertainty and higher energy prices. Despite this environment, it delivered earnings growth, supported by the Schenker integration and its global network. The performance in the Road division was below expectations due to operational challenges in certain markets, however recent management changes are expected to improve execution and results.

In Air & Sea, revenue growth in H1, 2026 was driven by the contribution from Schenker and supported by higher freight rates and fuel prices, with the strongest impact seen in air freight during Q2.

In Road, revenue growth in H1, 2026, in addition to the Schenker contribution, was driven by a focus on price increases and the pass-through of higher fuel costs in Q2, 2026. Network challenges in certain European markets related to the Schenker integration had a negative commercial impact in Q2 2026.

In Contract Logistics, revenue growth was supported by continued high activity levels in the Technology vertical and customer ramp-ups, alongside the contribution from Schenker.

For Q2 2026, gross profit for the Group increased to DKK20,277.0 million, compared to DKK17,241.0 million in the same period last year, driven in part by the Schenker acquisition as well as growth in Air & Sea and Contract Logistics. In constant currencies, gross profit increased by 17.5%. For the first six months of 2026, gross profit amounted to DKK39,180.0 million, compared to DKK28,232.0 million in the same period last year. In constant currencies, gross profit increased by 40.6%.

Air & Sea generated a gross profit of DKK16,994.0 million in H1, 2026, representing a 16.7% increase in constant currencies compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by the contribution from Schenker and an increase in air freight activity in Q2, 2026, partly offset by lower average gross profit yields for sea freight compared to the same period last year.

In H1 2026, the Road division delivered gross profit of DKK10,377.0 million, representing growth of 66.4% in constant currencies compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by the contribution from Schenker and a focus on improving gross margins, although declining productivity offset some of these improvements.

Contract Logistics reported gross profit of DKK11,343.0 million for H1. 2026, up 59.5% compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by the Schenker contribution and higher utilisation, particularly reflecting growth in the Technology vertical.

Air & Sea achieved an EBIT before special items of DKK3,776.0 million, representing an increase of 9.4% compared to the same period last year. The improved performance was driven by contributions from Schenker and higher gross profit, mainly due to an improved average gross profit yield in air freight. Despite inflationary pressure and an additional month of diluting effect from Schenker relative to the same period last year, the conversion ratio increased for the first time since the start of the integration to 42.4% in Q2, 2026.

DSV’s air freight volumes grew by 10.0% in Q2, 2026 and 28.0% in H1, 2026 compared to the same period last year. Volume growth in the quarter was lower than expected as the increase was driven by an additional month of Schenker contribution, supported by growth among Technology and Semiconductor customers, particularly on the Asia-to-North America and Intra Asia trade lanes.

DSV’s sea freight volumes grew by 6.0% in Q2, 2026 and 24.0% in H1, 2026 compared to the same period last year. Volume growth in the quarter was lower than expected as the increase was driven by an additional month of Schenker contribution, partly offset by weaker demand on MENA-related trade lanes.

Road reported an EBIT before special items of DKK999.0 million, an increase of 90.5% compared to the same period last year, driven by the contribution from Schenker and gains from the disposal of properties. While the Schenker integration is progressing as planned overall, certain European countries continued to experience reduced productivity and some network challenges related to the integration, as highlighted in Q1, 2026. These issues impacted commercial performance and resulted in lower-than-expected volume growth. Management changes and measures to restore productivity and commercial performance were initiated during the quarter.

Contract Logistics achieved an EBIT before special items of DKK1,531.0 million, representing growth of 111.2% compared to the same period last year. The strong earnings growth was primarily the result of sustained commercial growth in the Technology vertical, particularly within cloud and data centres, in addition to the extra month of contribution from Schenker. The financial results were influenced by the ramp-up of new facilities, as well as the strategic focus on consolidating less profitable sites.

DSV stated that the Schenker integration is progressing well, with more than 60 countries, including Germany, either fully integrated or currently in the integration process. The Company continue to expect annual synergies at the level of DKK9.0 billion, with full impact in 2027.

The adjusted free cash flow came to DKK786.0 million for Q2, 2026, impacted by temporarily higher net working capital, which in addition to increased activity levels, was driven by rising freight rates and soaring bunker and jet fuel prices as well as increased receivables related to the sale of properties from Schenker.

Based on the performance in the first six months of the year and outlook for the second part of the year, DSV is narrowing the full-year 2026 guidance for EBIT before special items to DKK23.5-25.5 billion (previously DKK23.0-25.5 billion).

Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc., one of the largest and most diversified freight transportation companies, operating the largest full truckload fleet in North America, reported Q2, 2026 net income attributable to Knight-Swift of US$43.2 million, up 26.1% from Q2, 2025.

During Q2, 2026, consolidated total revenue was US$2.1 billion, a 12.6% increase from Q2, 2025, while consolidated revenue, excluding truckload and LTL fuel surcharge, grew 5.5%. Consolidated operating income was US$104.9 million, a 44.4% increase compared to the same quarter last year. Adjusted Operating Income was US$151.0 million, a 45.5% increase year-over-year. The consolidated operating ratio for the quarter improved 110 basis points year-over-year to 95.0%, and the Adjusted Operating Ratio improved 240 basis points to 91.4%.

> Truckload revenue, excluding fuel surcharge, increased 2.8% year-over-year driven by a 5.5% improvement in revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions. Adjusted Operating Ratio of 91.0% was 360 basis points better year-over-year, primarily driven by pricing improvement and a 140-basis point reduction in empty miles percentage.

> LTL revenue, excluding fuel surcharge, decreased 1.4% year-over-year on a 3.7% decrease in shipments per day as initiatives to improve freight mix and network efficiency continue. Tonnage per day grew 4.0% on a 7.9% increase in weight per shipment, and length of haul grew 5.3%. Adjusted Operating Ratio of 92.1% improved 100 basis points year-over-year.

> Logistics revenue grew 8.9% year-over-year as revenue per load increased 29.6% while load count declined 16.4% as the unit maintained a disciplined approach to profitability and carrier quality. Gross margin of 15.4% declined 120 basis points sequentially from first quarter levels as pressure on third-party capacity continues.

> Intermodal revenue grew 34.9% year-over-year and operating ratio improved 470 basis points to 99.4%. Revenue per load grew 12.8% and load count improved 19.6% year-over-year to the highest Q2 mark since 2021.

Q2 saw a continued and rapid progression in truckload market conditions, with supply-driven tightening pushing spot rates, tender rejection rates, and contractual negotiations higher over the course of the quarter.

Realised revenue per mile was just beginning to recover in Q2, as contract rate improvement in the period was largely driven by bids priced early in the year, with more recent bids reflecting the tighter backdrop only starting to take effect late in the quarter. While Truckload revenue and margin grew during the quarter, the Company anticipate meaningful opportunity ahead as the improvement in rate per loaded mile accelerated from low single digits coming into the quarter to high single-digits in June. The over-the-road business in particular posted double-digit year-over-year improvement in rate for the month of June. In addition, disciplined network management amplified the margin opportunity as a reduction in empty miles produced even greater improvement in revenue per total mile.

Beyond the truckload market, the LTL market saw solid demand that is starting to trend up in certain areas along with indirect benefits from the tightening in the truckload market. The Company is encouraged by steady gains in rate renewals, ongoing improvements in freight mix, and progress driving network efficiencies.

The Logistics segment was impacted by the squeeze on gross margin that persisted through Q2 as the cost of spot capacity continued to escalate faster than contractual pricing gains. The Intermodal segment posted strong volume growth and early stages of pricing improvement. Combined with structural cost reductions and efficiency gains, these factors returned the business to profitability, and the Company intend to build on that momentum.

Driver availability is showing signs of tightness as safe, quality drivers are becoming more of a premium. The Company continue to monitor this situation across its services closely and are taking thoughtful, intentional actions designed to maximise the success of both its professional drivers and its businesses.

Similar to the Company’s outlook last quarter, it expects momentum across its businesses to build as rates continue to be reset, as it maintains cost and operational initiatives, and as it anticipates more spot and project opportunities than it has seen in recent years.

> In the US, SC Johnson has renewed its trust in the Group with the opening of a second facility for this specialist in skin care, cleaning, and hygiene solutions. At this 80,000 m2 facility near Chicago, ID Logistics handles contract logistics and co-packing operations with nearly 200 employees.
> In Poland, ID Logistics has launched operations for Natura, one of Poland’s leading beauty product retailers, with more than 200 brick-and-mortar stores across the country and an online store. The Group manages both physical and e-commerce operations at an 8,500 m2 facility southwest of Warsaw.

Looking ahead, given the number of requests for proposal that the Company is working on, as well as the 17 new operations launched since the start of the year, it anticipates another year of strong organic growth.

ID Logistics intends to continue its organic growth strategy throughout 2026, building on the performance achieved in 2024 and 2025. In the short term, the Group’s priorities remain ensuring a smooth start of recently awarded new operations and continuing its pursuit of operational excellence through increasingly innovative solutions, focused on the use of artificial intelligence and well-suited to a constantly evolving global economic environment.

Mahindra Logistics Ltd. (MLL), one of India’s leading integrated logistics & mobility solutions providers, announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter ended 30 June 2026.

Performance this quarter was driven by continued strength in the Contract Logistics business with new customer wins across sectors, significant progress in the Express business turnaround, and sustained improvements in operational efficiency across the network. At the same time, the eCommerce and quick commerce business continues to scale, reinforcing the Company’s position in fast-growing logistics segments.

The Express Business grew 58.0% YoY and 10.0% sequentially. Growth has been led by a mix of volumes and yield, leading to gross margin and EBITDA improvement for the fourth straight quarter in a row.

The Last Mile Delivery has seen EBITDA improvement to Rs 2.6 cr, vs loss of Rs 0.5 cr in Q1, F26. The business has degrown 16.0% YoY as a consequence of portfolio recalibration, which was a conscious strategic choice to prioritise profitable customers amid sustained pricing and cost pressures.

The Mobility business expanded by 38.0% YoY driven by new customer additions in the B2B segment. EBITDA grew by a healthy 8.0% over the same period.

The warehouse space under management stood at 2,034,577 m2, an increase of 141,213 m2 over last quarter with the addition of new sites for specific customers.

In Belgium and the Netherlands, business continues to be affected by consolidation in the retail sector as well as by a challenging economic environment.

For their part, Spain and Portugal are reporting very positive growth in their revenue figures. In Spain, this growth is driven by rising volumes in the frozen, fresh, and retail segments, as well as expanded capacity with the commissioning in 2026 of the San Agustín (Madrid) and Sant Vicenç dels Horts (Barcelona) facilities. In Portugal, growth is being driven by the surge in international flows as well as the ramp-up of the Maia (Porto) facility, which has been operational since late 2025.

In Italy, revenue growth is driven primarily by sales momentum, which combines the acquisition of new customers in the foodservice sector with the development of existing accounts. At the same time, in the UK, the increase in revenue resulted from a broad-based rise in volumes and the operation of the new Peterborough facility, acquired in August 2025.

Finally, in Switzerland, the very strong growth in revenue was driven by the acquisition of Christian Cavegn AG, supplemented by the addition of new customers and a positive currency effect.

Total revenue for the first half of 2026 amounted to €2,687.1 million compared to €2,474.1 million for the first half of 2025, up 8.6% (+7.1% on a like-for-like basis).

More detail for the H1 results will be published on 03 September 2026, after the market closes.

Maersk has entered into a partnership with ShippyPro, a global shipping management platform, to make Maersk’s eCommerce solutions available directly through ShippyPro’s multi-carrier shipping platform.

The collaboration supports Maersk’s continued investment in eCommerce capabilities through the ongoing development of its own digital solutions and integration with third-party platforms that help customers manage increasingly complex logistics operations. The integration has been under development as part of Maersk's broader platform strategy.

Through the integration, ShippyPro customers can access Maersk E-Commerce services within their existing shipping workflows. This enables eCommerce businesses to fully benefit from Maersk’s eCommerce parcel orchestration capabilities directly from the platform they already use to manage shipments, tracking and returns. The integration is now available to customers via ShippyPro’s platform.

As eCommerce businesses continue to expand into new markets, many face increasing challenges related to cross-border shipping, carrier management, delivery visibility and customer experience. The partnership is designed to simplify access to international delivery capabilities while allowing merchants to continue operating through a single platform and workflow.

Customers increasingly expect logistics providers to integrate seamlessly into the digital ecosystems where they manage their business.

Through the integration, customers can leverage Maersk’s international parcel delivery services alongside other carriers within ShippyPro’s platform. Customers benefit from streamlined shipment management, end-to-end visibility and access to delivery options across domestic and international markets without the need for additional operational processes or technology integrations.

ShippyPro is a shipping management platform that helps businesses automate shipping, tracking and returns processes across multiple carriers. By combining ShippyPro’s shipping management capabilities with Maersk’s eCommerce logistics network, the partnership aims to provide customers with greater flexibility and carrier choice as they scale their operations across markets.

The partnership further strengthens Maersk’s position in the growing eCommerce logistics sector, where the Company continues to invest in digital capabilities, platform integrations and end-to-end delivery solutions that help customers simplify supply chains and improve the online shopping experience for consumers.

Maersk has launched an integrated cold chain solution connecting origin operations in Chile with ocean transport, US port handling, fumigation, inland logistics and cold storage, creating a scalable model for regulated produce moving into the US Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.

Developed in collaboration with fresh produce supplier Oppy and the Port of Wilmington, the solution addresses a longstanding challenge in perishables logistics: constrained fumigation capacity at key US gateways. By coordinating services across the value chain, Maersk improves speed to market, transparency and reliability for temperature-sensitive cargo.

For regulated commodities such as grapes, fumigation is required for entry into the US. Traditionally performed at origin or congested gateway ports, fumigation can introduce delays, longer dwell times and increased risk to cargo quality. By shifting fumigation to destination and integrating it with downstream cold chain operations, the new setup reduces bottlenecks and enhances supply chain predictability.

The solution was developed through close collaboration across Maersk’s teams in Latin America and North America, alongside port partners and regulators. Over a six-month period, fumigation capacity at the Port of Wilmington was expanded through additional permits and infrastructure upgrades. This enables cargo to move seamlessly from vessel discharge through fumigation and onward distribution, supported by Maersk’s integrated cold storage facility in Wilmington.

The solution was piloted during the 2026 Chilean grape season, with weekly sailings supported by coordinated destination fumigation and inland distribution via Wilmington. The pilot demonstrated faster cargo availability and reduced transportation costs compared with alternative routings, while establishing a repeatable model for future growth.

In addition to grapes, the expanded fumigation capability enables handling of other regulated commodities, including asparagus, blueberries and citrus. With continued population growth across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, Wilmington provides a complementary gateway to larger ports, offering efficient access to regional markets while helping to alleviate congestion at major hubs.

> CN acquires Norfolk Southern's ownership interests in the Kansas City Terminal Railway Company (KCT) and the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis (TRRA).
> CN gains new access in the Midwest through overhead rights between Tuscola, Illinois, and East St. Louis, Illinois, and rights to serve customers between St. Louis, Missouri, and Kansas City, Missouri. For the first time, CN will have a footprint in the heart of Kansas City, with usage of Union Pacific’s Neff Yard.
> CN will not oppose the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger. Both parties will collaborate through the STB process to ensure that this agreement takes effect.

DP World has reached an agreement in principle with the Fujairah Ports Authority under a 50-year concession to develop two new terminals on the UAE's east coast, the Al Rugaylat container and multi-purpose terminal, and the Dibba General Cargo terminal. The development will expand DP World's UAE capacity and gateway network, giving customers greater choice, flexibility, and connectivity across regional and global trade routes.

The project will establish a new deep-water trade gateway on the UAE's east coast, capable of handling the latest generation of Ultra Large Container Vessels. Al Rugaylat is designed to handle up to 2.5 million TEU annually, alongside 1.7 million tonnes of general cargo and 190,000 Car Equivalent Units (CEUs), while Dibba will add up to 3.6 million tonnes of annual general cargo capacity.

The new terminals build on Fujairah's growing role as a global maritime hub. Positioned on the Gulf of Oman, Fujairah is poised to become a leading centre for maritime services, and the development of ports and logistics zone will bring further investment, employment and long-term economic opportunity to the emirate.

Once operational, the development will increase DP World's total container handling capacity in the UAE from 19.4 million TEU to almost 22.0 million TEU, while significantly expanding general cargo and Ro-Ro capability.

Connected to Jebel Ali through DP World's inland logistics network, the new terminals will be integrated with Jafza, extending DP World's end-to-end supply chain across the UAE and enabling customers to move cargo more efficiently between ports, logistics hubs and end markets. Development will be delivered in phases, with construction expected to take approximately 24 to 30 months from commencement.

Etihad Cargo has expanded operations in France with the introduction of a second weekly freighter service to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). The additional service strengthens trade links between France and key global markets across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, while increasing capacity and flexibility for customers moving specialised and high-value cargo.

The introduction of a second weekly freighter service to Paris comes in response to increasing demand from customers across several strategic cargo verticals.

IAG Cargo will introduce a third daily London Heathrow (UK)–Delhi (India) service from 19 September 2026, further strengthening air links between the UK and India and boosting capacity across its India network.

The year-round service will be operated by British Airways using a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. The schedule delivers three daily rotations to both Mumbai and Delhi, alongside increased frequencies to Bengaluru, taking the Company’s London Heathrow–India capacity to 70 weekly services, up from 56 in 2025.

Demand on the Delhi route has risen markedly: cargo volumes were up 12.6% outbound and 14.4% inbound between January and May 2026 compared with the same period in 2025. The Company said the additional capacity responds to growing trade flows between India, the UK and onward international markets.

The UK–India Free Trade Agreement, which entered into force on 15 July 2026, is expected to support trade growth; the Company noted the expanded schedule improves onward connectivity via London Heathrow to destinations across Europe, North America, Latin America and the Middle East. 

Logista Retail expects order and delivery volumes for the convenience channel to rise by 20.0% during the summer holiday period compared with the rest of the year. To meet demand the Company will reinforce operations supplying more than 4,750 petrol stations and service stations across Spain and Portugal.

The Company attributes the increase to higher summer mobility and the consolidation of new consumption habits linked to road travel. With a catalogue of more than 6,000 ambient, chilled and frozen product references, the Company is intensifying activity in high‑tourist areas and along main travel corridors. In those locations replenishment frequency may rise by up to 50.0%, typically increasing from two deliveries per week to three, to maintain product availability.

Logista Retail said service stations are consolidating as a shopping channel as travellers seek quick, easy‑to‑consume items during their journeys. The Company estimates July and August can account for nearly 25.0% of a convenience outlet’s annual turnover. Distribution volumes this summer are forecast to be about twice those recorded in 2019; the 2025 summer campaign ended with double‑digit growth year‑on‑year.

Growth is concentrated in categories associated with travel consumption, notably cold beverages, snacks, sweets and confectionery, plus ice cream, ready meals and other ready‑to‑eat products. The islands, the Valencian, Andalusian and Catalan coasts are expected to see the highest uplifts, alongside outbound and inbound corridors from central Spain, particularly the A‑2, A‑3 and A‑4 motorways and provinces such as Toledo, Guadalajara, Ciudad Real and Albacete, and the Mediterranean corridor via the A‑7 and AP‑7.

To respond to peaks the Company adapts route planning, delivery frequencies and in‑store assortments according to location and traveller profiles. It is also bolstering commercial advisory services: the sales team works with service station operators to optimise assortments, identify seasonal opportunities and tailor offerings to local demand, helping to increase stock turnover and profitability.

In April 2026, Yusen Logistics successfully transported by air eight CubeSats and related equipment to Auckland, New Zealand for Space BD Inc., which was contracted by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) for the Innovative Satellite Technology Demonstration-4.

The Innovative Satellite Technology Demonstration Programme provides opportunities for universities, research institutions, and private companies to demonstrate equipment, parts, microsatellites and CubeSats in space. The fourth mission consists of the RAISE-4 (RApid Innovative Payload Demonstration Satellite-4) spacecraft, carrying eight demonstration payloads, along with eight CubeSats.

Yusen Logistics previously handled the air transport of RAISE-4 and its related equipment in October 2025, managing the entire process from pickup through to final delivery at the designated site in New Zealand. For the CubeSat shipment, Yusen Logistics delivered a reliable end-to-end logistics solution tailored to sensitive aerospace equipment. This included pickup and delivery using temperature-controlled, air-suspension vehicles, specialised packaging designed for precision instruments, and strict temperature management throughout transport. In addition, as the satellites contain specially designed batteries classified as dangerous goods under special provision, Yusen Logistics conducted comprehensive route assessments and risk evaluations in advance, selecting the optimal airline and ensuring safe and efficient transport.

Both RAISE-4 and the CubeSats were successfully launched from New Zealand and deployed into orbit. Through these operations, Yusen Logistics played a key role in supporting the advancement of space technology.

Moving forward, Yusen Logistics will continue to leverage its expertise in aerospace logistics to deliver safe and reliable transportation services, contributing to the ongoing development of the global space industry.

DX has expanded its strategic partnership with Viking UK, one of Europe’s largest distributors of workplace supplies and equipment, through a new multi-year contract that will see the Company manage next-day delivery across the UK for the hundreds of thousands of customer orders placed each year.

The contract builds on a relationship established in 2025, when DX was awarded Trusted Partnership Status by Viking. Both organisations have made significant investment in the collaboration, including dedicated facilities, dedicated personnel and embedded DX teams within Viking’s operations. Closer operational communications between the two businesses have supported problem-solving, innovation and improved efficiencies, the companies say.

Viking characterised the arrangement as more like colleagues solving the same problem than a conventional supplier relationship, citing transparency, agility and a shared willingness to adapt. The partnership’s effectiveness stems from mutual commitment to high customer standards and open engagement and said both parties expect further collaboration and development under the new contract.

DHL Supply Chain has marked the groundbreaking of its DHL North Logistics Campus in Hung Yen province, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Vietnam’s growth and the country’s rising role as a key hub in global supply chains.

Strategically located within Greater Hanoi, the campus offers direct access to the Hanoi–Hai Phong Expressway, connecting Noi Bai International Airport, Hanoi city centre, and Hai Phong Port, the largest deep-sea port serving Northern Vietnam. This positions the 1.9 trillion VND (€63.0 million) facility as a critical hub for both domestic distribution and international trade, strengthening connectivity and supply chain efficiency across the region.

The campus also sits at the heart of a dynamic manufacturing corridor that continues to attract domestic and foreign investment across sectors such as electronics, industrial manufacturing, automotive and consumer goods.

The investment comes as Vietnam continues to strengthen its position as a vital node in global flows of trade, capital, and production. Vietnam stands out as one of the region’s most dynamic markets, benefiting from diversified trade partnerships, strong export performance, and growing attractiveness for foreign direct investment, particularly in manufacturing and tech sectors.

With a total campus size of more than 82,500 m2 across four blocks, the DHL North Logistics Campus is designed to support long-term growth. Phase 1, expected to be completed in the first half of 2027, will deliver approximately 41,180 m2 of premium warehouse space across two blocks, with Phase 2 construction planned for the second half of 2028.

Built to international standards, the facility is designed to serve a broad range of industries including technology, automotive, industrial manufacturing, retail, consumer goods, healthcare and life sciences.

The campus will feature premium Grade-A specifications, including high-rack storage systems and warehouse clear heights of up to 11.9 meters, exceeding the typical market standard of around 10.5 meters. This enables higher storage density, greater operational efficiency and enhanced flexibility for customers with growing and increasingly sophisticated supply chain needs. Designed to DHL international standards and built for the future, the facility incorporates automation-ready infrastructure that can support next-generation warehouse technologies, intelligent material handling systems and digital supply chain solutions, helping customers improve productivity, resilience and long-term competitiveness.

In line with DHL Group’s strategic aspiration to be the Green Logistics of Choice for customers, the campus will integrate rooftop solar photovoltaic systems, energy-efficient LED lighting, and infrastructure supporting electric-powered material handling equipment, helping customers advance their environmental sustainability goals while improving operational performance.

The DHL North Logistics Campus further strengthens DHL Supply Chain's ability to deliver end-to-end logistics solutions while contributing to local economic development, job creation and a more connected and resilient supply chain ecosystem in Vietnam and beyond. It also shows DHL’s continued investment in Vietnam, including recent expansions such as the Gateway in Hanoi and Container Freight Stations in Hai Phong.

Bleckmann has announced the go-live of its latest mega distribution centre (DC) in Lutterworth, UK. In less than four months, the new warehouse has been fully prepared for operations. This demonstrates Bleckmann’s speed and flexibility, which enable the Company to scale up.

The opening of the DC, which covers 70,786 m2, marks a significant milestone for Bleckmann in the further expansion of its lifestyle logistics offering. With the successful go-live, a key milestone has been reached, and the company is ready to operate at full capacity.

The warehouse, located in the Midlands’ ‘Golden Triangle’, is suitable for categories such as beauty, hair care, sports and accessories, as well as fashion clothing. This enables Bleckmann to offer even more specialised supply chain solutions tailored to the specific operational needs of its fashion and lifestyle clients, whilst ensuring flexibility and scalability and prioritising the customer experience. This new facility complements the Company’s operational presence in this highly sought-after market.

The ongoing expansion of Bleckmann’s warehouse capacity in the UK and elsewhere reflects the growing demand for specialised logistics services in the fashion and lifestyle industry.

With the joint development of a modern food hub at the Güterverkehrszentrum (GVZ) Bremen [Bremen Freight Centre], Panattoni, and the Nagel Group are continuing their successful partnership. The project, with a total surface area of 36,650 m2 is planned as a new regional site for the Nagel Group.

Construction at the new site will begin in October 2026 on the 90,510 m2, last contiguous property on the GVZ grounds. The completion and handover are slated for December 2027.

The project, with a total of approximately 29,500 m2 of hall space, 5,200 m2 of modern office and social spaces and 1,950 m2 of mezzanine space is designed as a build-to-suit property, tailored precisely to the requirements of the foodstuffs logistics service provider's requirements. The building characteristics include a cross-dock terminal and a logistics building with temperature-controlled areas for ambient, fresh and ultra-fresh for the storage and transshipment of foodstuffs.

The equipment also includes a representative four-storey side building for offices and a lorry workshop with a car wash, petrol station and comprehensive charging infrastructure for lorries, passenger vehicles and bicycles. 68 lorry and trailer parking spaces will also be built on the site.

The new site will unite state-of-the-art logistics processes with a sustainable energy concept and will create a foundation for further growth. At the same time, modern workplaces will be created in one of the most important logistics regions in Germany.

With its new site, the Nagel Group is strengthening its presence in Northern Germany. Around 400 new jobs are expected to be created at the future site, including 20 positions for trainees.

The overall energy concept plays a central role in the development of the logistics hub at the GVZ Bremen. The use of a power store in combination with photovoltaics systems is planned to supply the site with energy. The storage battery allows for temporary storage of solar energy generated on site and its as-needed use. Due to its safe, low-maintenance and scalable technology, and the use of primarily recyclable raw materials without rare earths, it supports the sustainable and reliable supply of energy. Heat is generated without fossil fuels via a heating and air conditioning system with integrated building technology. The goal is to obtain a DGNB [German Association for Sustainable Construction] gold certification.

Thanks to its trimodal connection via road, rail and water, the GVZ Bremen is one of the most powerful logistics sites in Europe. The immediate proximity to the A281 federal motorway and short distances to the A1 and A27 federal motorways, the proximity to the Bremen Airport and easy access to Bremerhaven, Wilhelmshaven and Hamburg via the second-largest seaport in Germany and an inland port create ideal conditions for national and international supply chains.

CEVA Logistics has announced the opening, in summer 2026, of a new logistics platform in Mably, near Roanne, in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Covering 44,000 m2, CEVA will operate logistics activities designed to support the growth of eCommerce in France while strengthening its contract logistics capabilities.

Located in the Éco Parc Bonvert business park in Mably, north of Roanne, the platform will cover a total surface area of 44,000 m2 and will be able to process 200,000 parcels per week and up to 350,000 during peak activity periods.

It will include nearly 42,000 m2 of warehouse space and approximately 2,000 m2 of office space. Its 41 dock doors, accessible simultaneously, will help optimise goods receiving and shipment preparation flows.

Designed to meet the speed, reliability and flexibility requirements of eCommerce, the site will be equipped with advanced inventory management systems and a high-performance automated sorting system, both in terms of conveyor speed and outbound allocation.

VNA, Very Narrow Aisle, racking will provide increased storage capacity and greater fluidity for picking operations in the aisles. This infrastructure will help accelerate the processing of inbound and outbound flows and improve service quality for order preparation destined for the network of eCommerce distribution warehouses in the region.

Thanks to its strategic location in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and its latest-generation equipment, the platform will enable CEVA to support eCommerce distribution needs while strengthening its presence in a key region for logistics activities.

The site will also contribute to the region’s economic vitality, with nearly 300 employees expected and up to 500 people mobilised during peak activity periods.

In line with CEVA’s commitments to sustainable development and the continuous improvement of the environmental performance of its sites, operations at the platform will rely on practices that promote responsible use of resources. In the building, which will be equipped with 100.0% LED lighting and rooftop photovoltaic panels, handling operations will notably be carried out using electric pallet trucks and forklifts to reduce the environmental impact of the activities.

FedEx has opened its newest facility in Košice, Slovakia, strengthening connections between eastern Slovakia and global markets and helping local businesses of all sizes access international growth opportunities.

This modern logistics centre marks a significant investment in the region and responds to growing demand from Slovak businesses looking to expand beyond their home market. The Košice facility, the second-largest FedEx location in the country, covers nearly 1,000 m2 and features 18 PUD (pick-up and delivery) docks, along with four flexible loading positions that can accommodate both vans and long-haul trucks.

The new facility significantly expands what FedEx can offer local customers. In addition to standard shipments, it can now process larger, palletised freight and connect directly to long-haul routes, making it easier for businesses to reach customers and suppliers across Europe and around the world. As a result of optimised processes within the new facility, PUD drivers now depart on average 45 minutes earlier each morning, while processing times for international shipments have been reduced by half. For customers, this means faster transit times, earlier deliveries, and even greater reliability.

The investment comes at a time when Slovak businesses are increasingly looking beyond domestic borders. While businesses navigate shipping costs, operational complexity, and the challenges of international trade, the appetite for international growth remains strong.

With its enhanced capabilities, the Košice facility reinforces this role. By combining parcel and freight handling, increasing capacity, and improving efficiency, it enables businesses to scale more effectively, reach new markets, and diversify their operations.

FedEx has an established presence in Slovakia, providing logistics solutions for exporters, manufacturers, eCommerce retailers, and service companies. The Company currently employs more than 180 team members in Slovakia and operates eight facilities nationwide with connectivity to major FedEx hubs in Germany, France, and the Netherlands, as well as intercontinental routes to the US and Asia.

The new facility in Košice is part of a broader programme to further develop logistics capabilities in Slovakia, which also includes the opening of two additional modern logistics centres in Nitra and Trenčín in recent years.

Ocado has announced an agreement to build a large Customer Fulfilment Centre (“CFC”) for a fast-growing European national retailer.

Under the agreement, Ocado will install its latest technology into a new, automated Customer Fulfilment Centre (CFC), due to go live in FY28. The site will be equipped with Ocado’s Re:Imagined technology suite, including the 600s bot, On-Grid Robotic Pick (“OGRP”), and a fully Automated Freezer.

The retailer, which is enjoying sustained growth, expects to quickly transfer its existing online order volumes into the CFC, with the site expected to go live with utilisation at just over half of its design capacity.

The transaction is not expected to have a material financial impact in FY26. Ocado continues to expect to deliver on its market guidance to turn cash flow positive during the second half of this financial year, and to be Full Year cash flow positive in FY27.

American Eagle Outfitters Inc. will invest US$41.0 million in Salisbury for a new distribution hub for the southeastern US. The Company says it will create more than 200 new jobs in Rowan County.

Founded in 1977, AEO's portfolio of apparel brands includes American Eagle, Aerie, OFFL/NE by Aerie, Todd Snyder and Unsubscribed. The Company operates stores in the US, Canada and Mexico, with merchandise available in more than 30 countries through a global network of license partners. Additionally, AEO manages a robust eCommerce business across its brands and has distribution centres in Hazleton, Ottawa, Phoenix and Mississauga, Ontario.

While wages vary, the annual average salary for approximately 70 skilled labour positions, such as management, maintenance and operations, will be US$57,351, which aligns with Rowan County’s average of US$57,155. These new jobs could potentially create a payroll impact of more than US$4.0 million for the region annually.

A performance-based grant of US$150,000 from the One North Carolina Fund will be awarded to AE Regional Distribution Co., LLC to help the Company locate in North Carolina. The OneNC Fund provides financial assistance to local governments to help attract economic investment and to create jobs. Companies receive no money upfront and must meet job creation and capital investment targets to qualify for payment. AEO must create 70 jobs to receive One NC grant payments. All OneNC grants require matching participation from local governments, and any award is contingent upon that condition being met.

In addition to the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, other key partners in this project include the North Carolina General Assembly, Commerce’s Division of Workforce Solutions, the North Carolina Community College System, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, Duke Energy, Rowan County, the Rowan Economic Development Council, and the City of Salisbury.

Senetic, a global provider of IT solutions, has leased more than 6,100 m2 of modern warehouse space at Prologis Park Chorzów in Poland. From the new facility the Company will manage logistics for IT equipment, including its eCommerce channel, serving customers in Poland and international markets. The lease was signed under the Clear Lease model to provide greater cost transparency and operational predictability.

Senetic specialises in the supply of IT hardware, software and technology solutions for businesses and public institutions. The Company is developing a sales model focused on efficient distribution, product availability and effective order fulfilment; the new space at Prologis Park Chorzów is intended to support these processes and provide logistics facilities tailored to the fast-moving IT market.

Prologis said the selection reflected a requirement for a facility able to support logistics across multiple sales channels, improve order fulfilment and allow phased growth. Simple and transparent lease terms were important to give the tenant greater cost predictability and confidence in planning.

The Clear Lease model replaces variable year-end operating charges with a single fixed rate covering standard facility operating costs. The only variable elements are utilities and public charges, which are settled on the basis of actual consumption and official tariffs.

Senetic’s move underlines Upper Silesia’s role as a strategic logistics region. Market data show modern warehouse stock in Upper Silesia exceeds 6.2 million m2. The region’s road infrastructure, labour pool and proximity to the Czech Republic and Germany are factors supporting domestic and cross-border distribution. 

Prologis Park Chorzów sits on the western edge of Katowice in the Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolis and benefits from access to the A4 (east–west) and A1 (north–south) motorways. The complex comprises five warehouse and office buildings totalling 251,000 m2 and offers parking for cars and trucks, 24/7 security and public transport stops that support efficient goods distribution.

Shipmall has renewed its lease for 3,500 m2 of warehouse space at Prologis Park Bratislava, extending a four‑year partnership and underscoring its continued confidence in the park’s logistics infrastructure and location in Senec, Slovakia.

From the distribution centre at Prologis Park Bratislava the Company manages inbound logistics, warehousing, inventory management, order fulfilment, packing and shipping for a mixed customer base that includes small eCommerce sellers, established online retailers and wholesale B2B clients with more complex requirements. The site supports efficient distribution across Slovakia and into other Central European markets.

The renewal comes as shippers and retailers press for faster delivery, greater flexibility and improved inventory control, increasing demand for professional fulfilment services and modern logistics space that can scale with customer needs.

The lease extension is a stable foundation for the Company’s core services, as the Senec location meets requirements for both routine eCommerce fulfilment and more demanding B2B distribution operations because of its transport links and reliability.

Prologis Park Bratislava lies about 20 kilometres from Bratislava city centre and offers access to Slovakia’s main transport corridors and major Central European markets. The park also has around 244,000 m2 of land available for future development, enabling bespoke facilities to meet growing demand for modern logistics space.

CTP has signed a long-term lease with existing customer Quick Service Logistics (QSL) for a new 10,658 m2 built-to-suit distribution centre at CTPark Budapest Vecsés, strengthening their international partnership.

The state-of-the-art facility will provide more than 10,100 m2 of frozen, chilled and ambient storage space, together with more than 500 m2 of office accommodation. The building is being designed to QSL’s specialised operational requirements and is scheduled for completion in October 2026.

QSL offers integrated logistics services to the foodservice sector, primarily supporting international quick-service restaurant chains. The Company serves more than 6,600 restaurants across 24 countries and provides purchasing, inventory management, warehousing and distribution services.

The project builds on an established relationship. QSL, which marks its tenth anniversary in Hungary this year, currently operates from CTPark Budapest East, where its distribution centre was expanded to more than 7,200 m2 in 2024, and it also holds a lease at CTPark Vienna.

The new building is being configured for temperature-controlled operations. An NH3/CO2 cascade refrigeration system will serve the chilled and frozen zones to reduce energy consumption, while rooftop solar panels will contribute to the site’s electricity supply. The building will operate fully on electricity and will be fitted with an advanced building management system to monitor and optimise energy use.

Additional sustainability and efficiency features include heat pumps, underfloor heating, heated energy columns to minimise thermal bridges in frozen areas, a DALI lighting system with individual dimming and colour adjustment, A+ rated insulation and a box-in-box design. The project is targeting BREEAM "Excellent" certification.

CTPark Budapest Vecsés is located in the south-eastern part of Budapest adjacent to the M0 ring road, offering direct access to Hungary’s motorway network and lying about 12 kilometres from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The park is already home to Hungary’s second building to achieve BREEAM "Outstanding" in the "In-Use" category and to two industrial buildings rated BREEAM "Excellent".

Aurora Innovation has launched its second-generation driverless trucks. Aurora plans to deploy the new fleet across its commercial network, which currently encompasses 10 driverless routes throughout the US Sun Belt, to serve additional customers.

Aurora made history when it deployed Class 8 trucks powered by the Aurora Driver, its self-driving system, on public roads last year. As of the end of June, the Aurora Driver has completed nearly 440,000 driverless miles. The Company’s route expansion is also driving significant commercial momentum, underscored by a customer's recent plan to purchase 500 Aurora Driver-powered trucks.

The new fleet, based on the International LT Series vehicle, is also powered by Aurora’s next-generation hardware. This hardware is more powerful and built to last one million miles, key factors for deploying at scale. Prior to launch, Aurora closed its Safety Case, its well-established bar for operations on public roads without a person behind the wheel, for the new truck and hardware.

Roush, a premier product development supplier, is installing redundant systems and integrating Aurora’s next-generation hardware into the new trucks at a production facility dedicated to Aurora. The companies have also formalised an upfit process, positioning Roush to reach an annual production run-rate of 1,000 Aurora trucks later this year.

Evri will become one of the first organisations in the UK to adopt Microsoft 365 E7. A move that marks a significant step forward in its long-term investment in service quality and delivery accuracy, powered by artificial intelligence and digital innovation.

The organisation is an early adopter, with E7 only becoming available in May this year. With a significant investment, and 6,000 licences to be deployed, Evri will roll out Microsoft 365 E7 across the business over the coming months. The move will equip colleagues with cutting-edge tools including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Agent 365 and the Microsoft Entra Suite – powerful productivity apps and security apps. Some of these tools have been tested in the business for a number of years, but this rollout broadens reach and provides additional tools.

This investment means Evri can make better use of the intelligence behind Microsoft 365 Copilot, connecting Evri’s people more easily to the knowledge they need across the business. It will help teams cut down on manual tasks, work more efficiently and get clearer insights to support better decisions day to day.

Evri delivers more than one billion parcels annually, and alongside strong business growth, the number of colleagues has grown. Without AI, it would be impossible for everyone to have full insight across the business. AI can help teams remain connected and avoid siloed working. Evri is putting AI to work for its people, helping them work smarter not harder.

The introduction of E7 will help Evri colleagues save time, reduce manual processes, and enhance decision-making, ultimately improving the service delivered to millions of consumers – but always with a human in the loop.

By integrating AI into everyday workflows, teams will be able to:

> Build agents to act as digital teammates, handling routine tasks, coordinating end-to-end workflows and freeing colleagues to focus on higher-value work
> Access insights faster to improve operational performance and quality
> Enhance communication and collaboration
> Use data provided by VeriSnap to act more efficiently and improve delivery quality

For customers, this investment supports Evri’s continued focus on quality, reliability and innovation, helping ensure parcels are delivered efficiently and accurately as the business continues to grow.

Evri’s adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot is centred on empowering its people. Tools such as AI-powered writing and grammar support will help colleagues of all backgrounds communicate more effectively, supporting diversity and inclusion across the organisation.

Evri has been investing in AI and advanced technology for several years, building a mature underlying architecture that enables it to scale new innovations quickly and safely. While Microsoft 365 E7 is designed for large enterprises, Evri’s agile approach positions it strongly as an early adopter of the technology, and is able to adopt at an earlier stage because of mature underlying architecture. Evri began investing in AI several years ago, with an initial £1.0 million commitment – and £3.5 million invested in total as of last year – so the benefits are not new to the business, and the business has a proven track record of time saving for its people. Importantly, the solution operates within a secure, closed environment at all times – one of Evri’s reasons for choosing Microsoft as a trusted provider.

Microsoft has been chosen as a trusted partner to support Evri’s next phase of growth, combining industry-leading security with powerful productivity tools.

Overroute, an AI-native freight technology business based in Lowell, Arkansas, US, announced its public launch on 21 July 2026 after a year of co-design with J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc., one of the largest supply chain solutions providers in North America.

The Company said its specialised AI agents are already in use by operators across all of J.B. Hunt’s business units, processing millions of loads inside one of the most complex freight carrier networks in the US.

Overroute’s platform automates the coordination work behind each load and includes a roadmap toward broader asset optimisation. It is designed to operate within carriers’ existing systems to read live operational data, surface exceptions and support operators in customer communications without requiring changes to current tools or workflows.

J.B. Hunt’s complex network offered an opportunity to apply emerging technology at scale and the Company will be using AI to reduce friction and improve freight execution.

The Company developed Overroute through J.B. Hunt’s UP.Labs initiative, announced in October 2024, and identified Overroute as the first startup to emerge from that programme. Overroute’s agents had been tested against enterprise logistics complexity, including exceptions, edge cases, change management and human judgement, and are positioned as a new category of agentic AI deployed inside real freight workflows.

The Company is engaging with carriers and enterprise logistics operators as it prepares for wider commercial deployments.

In June 2026, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) published Version 2.0 of its Corporate Net Zero Standard. The updated framework introduces book & claim as a credible mechanism for reducing transport emissions and contributing to corporate climate targets, particularly where further direct emissions reductions are not feasible and robust safeguards are in place.

DHL Group has been among the pioneers of book & claim solutions in logistics through its GoGreen Plus services, helping customers reduce transport related emissions. DHL's GoGreen Plus services are aligned with the principles outlined in the updated standard and enable customers to address greenhouse gas emissions within shared transport networks.

The recognition of book & claim helps overcome practical and economic barriers to scaling the use of sustainable fuels. The mechanism enables DHL to transfer the environmental benefits of low carbon fuels used within its network to customers whose shipments move through that network. When feasible direct measures have been exhausted, DHL GoGreen Plus can support customers across transport modes in addressing Scope 3 transport emissions and contribute to progress toward their SBTi targets.

The continued evolution of industry standards and frameworks is an important step in helping accelerate the transition to lower-emission logistics worldwide.

DP World and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) have signed a loan agreement of up to €25.0 million to support the electrification of operations at DP World’s Constanța South Container Terminal. The financing is the terminal’s first dedicated green loan and forms part of a €100.0 million investment programme that will reduce CO2 emissions by more than 6,000 tonnes per year.

The investment marks a significant step in DP World’s decarbonisation strategy in Romania and supports the transition to lower-emission port operations. By replacing ageing diesel-powered equipment with electric alternatives and introducing shore power for vessels at berth, the project will improve air quality, reduce noise and increase operational reliability for customers.

The electrification programme combines financing from the EBRD with grants from the European Union and the Romanian government. Alongside the EBRD loan, the project is being delivered with a €19.7 million grant under the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF), part of the Connecting Europe Facility, with the EBRD acting as the EU’s implementing partner. It has also received €7.5 million in funding under Romania’s Transport Programme 2021–2027.

The investment comprises two components. The first, representing an investment of €53.8 million, will establish the core electrification infrastructure, including new electrical networks, transformer and distribution facilities, as well as shore power systems enabling vessels to connect to the port grid while at berth. It will also include a new connection to the main port power station and grid, the rehabilitation of access roads and the introduction of 10 electric terminal tractors and chargers.

The second component, representing an investment of €46.2 million, will cover equipment including electric, remote-operated rubber-tyred gantry cranes, two electric mobile harbour cranes and additional electric terminal tractors.

The electrification of the Constanța South Container Terminal is the latest in a long series of investments DP World has made to expand and modernise its operations in Constanța. In 2024, it opened a new project cargo terminal and a roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) terminal following a €65.0 million investment. In December 2025, the company also completed a 119,000 m2 multimodal platform. These investments have further strengthened the terminal's role as a strategic gateway between Central Europe, the Black Sea region, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova.

GEODIS has launched a new electric vehicle delivery solution in Vietnam, reinforcing its commitment to lower-carbon logistics and urban mobility. The initiative supports Vietnam’s shift towards low-emission transport while enhancing delivery efficiency for customers in the luxury and retail sectors.

GEODIS has deployed their new electric vehicle (EV) delivery solution in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The deployment supports GEODIS’ wider sustainability strategy to decarbonise its logistics operations, improve urban mobility, and contribute to Vietnam’s transition to low emission transport.

To operate last mile B2B and B2C deliveries for customers across the luxury and retail sectors, GEODIS will deploy the VinFast EC Van 2026. The Company is one of the first logistics providers to introduce electric powered urban distribution in Vietnam.

Purpose-built for urban transportation, the VinFast EC Van 2026 combines compact dimensions with high cargo efficiency, making it well suited for navigating city streets and varied road conditions while maintaining delivery reliability. The EV is designed to support daily delivery operations while helping to reduce noise and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through zero tailpipe emissions.

Telefónica and Würth España, the Spanish subsidiary of the Würth Group, a leader in the distribution of fastening and assembly materials, have developed a pioneering innovation project at Würth’s logistics centre in Agoncillo (La Rioja), using quantum computing and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to optimise logistics packaging.

The innovation initiative, developed in collaboration with TECNALIA, Spain’s largest applied research and technological development centre, and QCentroid, a leading startup in enterprise quantum computing adoption through its QuantumOps platform, represents one of the first industrial quantum computing use cases developed at Telefónica’s Javier Echenique Quantum Technologies Talent and Technology Centre in Bilbao. The centre is a strategic innovation hub that positions Spain at the forefront of applied quantum technologies in Europe.

The project leverages the latest capabilities of quantum computing and artificial intelligence to optimise how products are packed into shipping boxes, reducing both the number and size of packages required for each order. This, in turn, lowers what is known as “on-road volume” while reducing Würth’s per-order logistics costs.

Specifically, the pilot improved packaging efficiency across 14.0% of the more than 6,000 orders processed. This optimisation resulted in a 3.0% reduction in the number of boxes used, which translated into an approximately 7.0% reduction in truck transport volume and more than a 6.0% decrease in cardboard consumption.

These results demonstrate the potential benefits that quantum computing can bring to logistics operations when combined with classical computing, making it possible to implement hybrid solutions such as the one developed in this project, with practical industrial applications available today.

GreenLine Mobility Solutions has partnered with Dabur India to deploy LNG-powered trucks. The initiative aims to lower emissions from road transportation and GreenLine will provide the trucks to support Dabur India's long-haul logistics operations.

LNG-powered trucks produce lower carbon emissions than conventional diesel-powered heavy vehicles and also reduce particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions.

Dabur’s partnership with GreenLine enables it to integrate lower-emission transportation into its logistics operations while maintaining efficiency and reliability. The Company believe collaborations like these will play a key role in building a more sustainable and future-ready supply chain.

The partnership demonstrates that more leading Indian companies are making low-emission logistics an integral part of their business strategy.

Alaska Airlines, Inc. announced it is entering into long-term lease agreements to add four 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) aircraft to its dedicated cargo fleet, increasing the carrier's 737 freighter fleet from five to nine aircraft.

The four additional freighters will effectively double the capacity of its freighter fleet, while injecting more reliability into cargo service for communities served and providing more flexibility in aircraft allocation across the airline's cargo network.

The freighters are expected to enter service in the first half of 2027 and will be dedicated to the states of Alaska and Hawai'i, with the plan to paint Hawai'i-based cargo aircraft in Hawaiian Air Cargo livery.

These additional freighters help strengthen the network that connects communities across the states of Alaska and Hawai'i to the contiguous U.S., and links them into Alaska's broader global cargo network. Added capacity in Hawai'i is also expected to benefit eCommerce and logistics industries by giving businesses increased reliability in moving goods.

As the only legacy passenger airline with a dedicated cargo fleet, Alaska Air Cargo carries more than 370 million pounds of cargo each year to more than 100 destinations across North America, Europe, Asia and the Pacific. The additional four 737-800 freighters represent a continued investment in fast, reliable shipping, while positioning the airline's cargo business for future growth.

The Rhenus logistics hub in Eisenach, Germany, has commissioned a large‑scale photovoltaic (PV) system that covers 30,000 m2 across three warehouse roofs. The installation has a peak output of 2.4 megawatts and can generate enough electricity to supply the equivalent of approximately 750 households annually.

The Company said the commissioning completes a long‑term construction project at the Eisenach site and reinforces its commitment to more resource‑efficient logistics operations. The work is the final stage of the project that will support the site’s sustainability goals.

The Rhenus logistics centre in Eisenach‑Kindel serves five major customers in the fashion, food and household goods sectors. The site offers end‑to‑end logistics solutions, including goods receipt, warehousing, order picking and distribution, delivered through a mix of manual and automated processes with a focus on efficiency, flexibility and quality assurance.

The HOYER Group has put four fully electric trucks into operation in Switzerland as part of its wider commitment to alternative drive technologies and sustainable, customer‑focused logistics solutions.

The vehicles are deployed on daily route plans in regular operations and are charged at site after each shift. An intelligent charging system schedules energy supply based on the following day’s deployments to optimise utilisation and support reliable transport operations.

The implementation of fully electric trucks complements the Company’s existing use of alternative drive systems worldwide, including hydrogen, LNG and CNG vehicles, as well as electric industrial trucks in warehousing. The Company said its fuel cell truck, which has been in regular service for one year, continues to deliver positive results for performance and delivery reliability, and electric forklifts will be introduced in Austria for a new logistics contract in the third quarter of 2026.

In Switzerland the Company reported satisfactory performance of the new e‑trucks in liquid gas transport after a short trial period. The Company estimates energy consumption can fall by about 66.7% compared with diesel engines, and said the efficiency gains reduce emissions and contribute to long‑term decarbonisation of its transport solutions.

The Company described its approach as technology neutral and tailored to specific operational requirements, working with customers to reduce carbon footprints along supply chains while increasing operational efficiency.

Australia Post will expand what it says is the country’s largest electric delivery fleet after receiving a one‑off A$40.5 million investment from the Federal Government to add electric vans, light and heavy rigid trucks and prime movers.

The rollout includes depot charging infrastructure and upgrades to existing facilities, such as switchboard enhancements, new distribution boards and load‑management controls, marking a step beyond last‑mile electrification into heavier vehicle types.

Funding will be delivered in the 2026–27 financial year and work is already under way to source additional electric vehicles for the Australian market and complete site electrification ahead of the expanded fleet entering service.

The Company already operates more than 5,000 electric vehicles nationally, covering about 29 million kilometres each year. The additional vehicles are expected to save around one million litres of diesel annually, freeing fuel for sectors that face greater barriers to electrification.

Electrification forms a core part of the Company’s sustainability strategy, which targets net zero emissions by 2050.

The funding builds on years of fleet electrification work and will enable faster scaling into heavier vehicle types, reducing reliance on diesel and lowering exposure to fuel‑supply disruption. It will support the resilience and future‑readiness of the national delivery network as eCommerce demand grows.

DHL Group and LONGi Solar have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen cooperation on renewable-energy deployment and lower-emission logistics innovation. The agreement frames a strategic collaboration to accelerate adoption of distributed solar solutions, including LONGi’s Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) technology across DHL facilities in Europe.

The partners said the BIPV solutions will use high-efficiency back-contact technology intended to maximise energy yield on large commercial rooftops while supporting long-term operational reliability. The MoU builds on an existing logistics relationship: DHL currently supports LONGi through Express, DHL Global Forwarding Ocean Freight and DGF Industrial Projects services, including factory-moving solutions.
