Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and Samvardhana Motherson International Limited (“Motherson”) have signed a Joint Venture (JV) agreement to establish a specialised global automotive logistics company. The new company brings together Hellmann’s global network and logistics expertise and Motherson’s deep understanding of automotive supply chains.

The JV company will provide integrated supply chain solutions tailored to the global automotive industry and will serve as a high-performance logistics backbone supporting both partners’ objectives for sustainable growth in the automotive sector. Operations are planned to launch in June 2026, with activities initially managed from the JV’s headquarters in Dubai. Further operational locations in Europe, North America, India, and the Middle East are planned as the business expands and customer needs evolve.

For Hellmann, the JV represents a milestone in implementing its growth strategy Forward2030 and further strengthening its strong position within the automotive sector - one of its key strategic verticals. Based on Hellmann’s global logistics capabilities, as well as Motherson’s global Design, Engineering, Manufacturing, Assembly, and Logistics (D.E.M.A.L.) capabilities, with access to more than 30,000 suppliers and trusted OEM relationships, the JV will create a platform that sets new standards in automotive logistics.

As a joint venture partner, Hellmann will contribute execution capabilities, integrated 4PL solutions and proven value-accredited supply chain technology products. The collaboration is built on strong cultural alignment, shared entrepreneurial spirit, and a joint commitment to long term, sustainable growth. Both companies are committed to Carbon Net Zero targets and leverage dedicated teams and proprietary technologies that can be extended to customers to help promote industry wide change.

Motherson’s Logistics Division focuses on building specialised platforms that support the evolving supply chain needs of the Group, its customers, suppliers and the broader ecosystem, as part of Motherson’s D.E.M.A.L solutions strategy. This partnership with Hellmann Worldwide Logistics combines Motherson’s integrated industrial capabilities with Hellmann’s extensive network and advanced logistics expertise. Together they aim to deliver more resilient, agile and sustainable logistics networks in an increasingly interconnected and complex global environment.

Expanding the structure to the sixteenth and seventeenth market, entering a new continent, and investing in modern facilities and fleet development. Despite an unstable market environment, 2025 was a period of dynamic growth for Raben Group – including the launch of operations in Switzerland and Türkiye, the acquisition of DGO Express in the Netherlands followed by a restructuring of the Dutch network, as well as numerous investments in new or expanded warehouses in Germany, Austria, Romania, Poland and Slovakia. These projects significantly strengthened the Group’s operational scale and created solid foundations for further growth in 2026.

The year 2025 was a period of exceptional uncertainty for the logistics industry – a complicated macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, cost pressure, an increasing number of regulations and workforce shortages all affected the operations of logistics providers across Europe. Companies simultaneously faced lower volumes and rising labour, energy and external service costs. Therefore, the Group focused on initiatives reinforcing its long‑term growth potential – including strategic investments aimed at strengthening network development, operational efficiency and organisational resilience.

2025 was a very demanding year for the entire logistics sector. Lower volumes and rising cost pressures affected Raben as well, particularly in the second half of the year. Despite these conditions, Raben Group demonstrated resilience, delivering over 6.0% growth in a challenging economic and geopolitical environment, with revenues exceeding €2.3 billion and shipment growth of more than 5.1%. This strengthened its position in what has largely been a declining market and several countries – especially in Central and Eastern Europe – recorded very strong operational performance. At the same time, 2025 was a year of intensive, strategically planned initiatives for Raben Group: it launched operations in Switzerland and Türkiye, acquired DGO Express in the Netherlands, restructured its Dutch network, and continued to invest in modern warehousing and advanced systems across Europe. These investments, undertaken deliberately, had a controlled impact on financial results. Combined with continued price pressure in the European road freight market and lower margins, the Group still delivered solid profitability with an EBITDA level of over 5.0% and close to €100.0 million in operating cash flow. The net result – impacted by the non‑cash amortisation of goodwill from acquisitions closed at a loss for 2025.

Road transport continued to represent the dominant share of the Group’s service portfolio (almost 67.0%), complemented by contract logistics (nearly 13.0%), FTL & Intermodal (over 7.0%), Fresh Logistics (7.0%), 4PL (2.0%) and other services.

In 2025, the number of countries in which Raben Group had business units increased to seventeen. In the second quarter, the logistics operator entered its sixteenth market - the Swiss company Sieber Transport AG was integrated into Raben structures, which was the crowning moment of a contract signed in autumn 2024. The new company, which was established as a result of the acquisition of the family-owned company with 50 years of history, offers comprehensive groupage transport services throughout Switzerland and Europe.

In June 2025, a new operating company was established in Türkiye, though cooperation with Türkiye was not new; the Company had been servicing this direction from Poland for years through the operations of Raben East. The new stage of having a local company in Istanbul is a natural continuation of this strategy.

This is another element of Raben’s robust independent groupage network in Europe, which will increase the potential to offer comprehensive and efficient logistics solutions. Eastern destinations are gaining in popularity, and Türkiye is a strategic hub connecting Europe, Asia, the Middle East and China, making it a key player in the global supply chain. Raben Türkiye not only facilitates shipments to the East but also creates new opportunities for Turkish exporters interested in working with Europe, especially Germany, as a business unit of the operator that covers the entire continent and offers comprehensive services. The seventeenth market in the Raben family is therefore a true milestone. It improves the flow of goods between East and West, and it also has a symbolic dimension - by crossing the bridge over the Bosporus and setting up its own company on another continent, Raben Group is slowly expanding outside Europe and turning into a global player.

In addition, last year the logistics operator strengthened its position in the country where its history started. In February, it acquired 100.0% of DGO Express, a Dutch family-owned company that is part of the Sent Waninge Group, which provides road transport and warehousing services. Thus, the Company's head office in Hoogeveen, its 130 employees and its fleet of 80 vehicles became part of Raben's structures.

In 2025, Raben celebrated 20 years of presence on the German market, so the extensive investments made there can be seen as a kind of celebration of this round anniversary. In June, the Garching depot moved to a new location, four times the size of its previous one, and favourably located near the motorway. The new facility comprises approximately 8,500 m2 of cross-docking space and approximately 4,500 m2 allocated for logistics operations. This means not only a significant increase in capacity, but also state-of-the-art equipment in the office and warehouse areas, which improves working conditions and contributes to energy efficiency.

Almost simultaneously, a new logistics centre was launched in southern Germany. The facility in Baden-Baden is an example of a scalable, sustainable and customer-oriented investment that is expected to significantly reduce emissions while increasing the efficiency of operations. An innovative centre was created on more than 30,500 m2 to set new standards in the logistics industry by offering, among other things, 5,500 m2 of warehouse capacity, 51 loading ramps, charging stations for electric cars and trucks, 11 truck parking places and 234 m2 of social facilities.

Raben Austria, on the other hand, can boast a new warehouse in Iznersdorf. The 14,000 m2 location includes cross-docking space (4,000 m2), order picking and VAS area (1,500 m2), a block warehouse (3,000 m2), 7,000 pallet spaces on racks and 10 ramps. The perfectly located facility was built in the spirit of sustainability, with photovoltaic installations and electric vehicle charging stations.

The good health of the Central European markets can be evidenced by Raben Group's spectacular growth in Romania. Over the past year, total warehouse capacity there increased from 19,000 m2 to 32,200 m2, the number of shipments handled per month grew from 50,000 to 70,000, and employment went up from 200 to 300 people. This is thanks to the opening of a depot in Brașov, the move from Roman to a new facility in Bacău and the expansion of warehouses in Oradea, Craiova and Bucharest. Slovakia also performed well - here, new facilities were opened in Žilina and Košice.

It is also worth mentioning the further expansion of Raben's European network of connections. Last year, daily services were launched between Greece and the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Austria, with lead times of 24 to 48 hours. From September 2025, there are additionally twice-weekly transports between Poland (Chlebnia near Warsaw) and Ukraine (Velyka Dymerka near Kyiv). In total, Raben Group already offers 700 daily connections on more than 150 routes between its facilities, connecting 27 countries and transporting around 7.8 million pallets per year across Europe.

Poland also made its contribution to the Group's European investments and development. In April 2025, Raben Logistics Polska started using a new facility in Będzieszyn, Pomerania, ideally connected to the rest of the country and Europe. The state-of-the-art cross-docking terminal covers an area of 10,000 m2, with office space covering additional 1,500 m2. The warehouse is equipped with, among other things, 88 loading ramps and nearly 50 forklifts using LI-ION technology. With drivers in mind, the facility has a leisure infrastructure that allows them to make effective use of breaks during working hours. It is a low-emission facility, aligned with the latest environmental and operational standards.

The Company's cross-dock warehouse in Rzeszów was expanded, giving the local depot 52 ramps, 10,000 m2 of cross-dock space and around 1,400 m2 of office space. The new warehouse is equipped with photovoltaic panels and modern heat pumps. Raben Logistics Polska also tied itself to the Opole region for the next decade, where it had already been present for 15 years. The symbolic culmination of this anniversary, which falls in 2026, was the move to a new building in the CTPark Opole as early as December 2025. The lease agreement is for more than 4,500 m2 at the complex and it has a term of 10 years.

In the middle of the year, Fresh Logistics Polska's new logistics centre in Łomża was officially launched, designed to provide comprehensive service for products requiring controlled temperature. The facility comprises a modern logistics space with a total area of 6,603 m2, including a cross-docking area, an Ultra Fresh chamber, a contract logistics area and three independent freezer chambers. Fresh Logistics' new warehouse benefits from photovoltaic panels and a heat pump, state-of-the-art refrigeration equipment protected by an innovative fire protection system and the latest forklift trucks with lithium-ion batteries.

In 2025, Raben Group worked towards the previously adopted sustainability targets, but has additionally set itself new, even more ambitious ones: a 60.4% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2032 and a commitment of 79.0% of carriers to decarbonisation by 2027.

Last year, the Group implemented another solution in the area of sustainable financing following the SLL loan granted in 2021. Raben Logistics Polska's supplier financing programme, which supports carriers in maintaining liquidity, was combined with the implementation of objectives within the Company's ESG strategy.

In taking action to reduce emissions, Raben not only pursued its own goals, but also supported its customers in this area. Raben Transport has been gradually increasing its fleet of vehicles running exclusively on HVO100 biofuel from 2022 onwards. Currently, 95 trucks at the Group level provide transport services using this biofuel. In June 2025, Raben Transport launched its second own HVO100 filling station in Poland. The new station, located in Gliwice, has been helping to develop low-emission transport services, and Leroy Merlin is one of the beneficiaries of this offer. From the second quarter of 2025, Raben Transport is supporting this well-known DIY chain in achieving its climate goals through HVO100-powered transports.

Investment in the vehicle fleet also has an impact on reducing the transport carbon footprint. At the end of 2025, Raben Transport's fleet added two modern, all-electric Mercedes eActros 600 tractors, which joined the two Mercedes eActros 300 models already in operation. They are dedicated to serving Cereal Partners Poland Toruń-Pacific Sp. z o.o., the manufacturer of Nestlé breakfast cereals, and are recharged at a purpose-built station on the site of the Toruń factory. Here, it is worth mentioning that Mercedes eActros 600 will run in Raben's fleet on selected long-distance routes, supplying Mercedes-Benz Trucks' German production facilities. This is part of the “Electrify Inbound Logistics” project, which Raben Group has been partnering since its inception. Three all-electric trucks, this time Volvo FM Electric models, have been also operating in the Dutch fleet, with the Hoogeveen depot boasting its own charging station.

LOGISTEED is to integrate the domestic freight forwarding functions of its group company, ALPS LOGISTICS into LOGISTEED Express, which serves as the core company for the Group's freight forwarding business. This integration will be implemented through a business transfer.

In recent years, the environment surrounding supply chains has become increasingly complex and uncertain due to factors such as rising geopolitical risks and greater market volatility. Under these circumstances, the freight forwarding business is required to establish an operational structure capable of delivering stable transportation quality while achieving a higher level of consistency and sophistication in operations.

By consolidating freight forwarding functions into a core company, the LOGISTEED Group aims to strengthen its business foundation and enhance competitiveness across the Group.

LOGISTEED Express has long served as the Group's core freight forwarding company, accumulating extensive expertise and a proven track record in both domestic and international transportation. The Company possesses highly specialised personnel and a robust network.

ALPS LOGISTICS, on the other hand, has strong capabilities in domestic and international logistics, particularly for high-value-added products such as electronic components. In the freight forwarding field, the Company has provided high-quality logistics services through meticulous customer support and flexible transportation arrangements, supported by strong and trusted relationships with its customers.

Through this integration, the Group will unify domestic freight forwarding functions that had previously been dispersed across multiple companies. This will enable the standardisation of business processes and the consolidation of know-how, leading to improved operational quality across the freight forwarding business and the establishment of a more stable operational structure.

The planned effective date of the business transfer is 01 April 2026.

Hub Group has provided an update regarding its business performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. In addition, Hub Group announced that on 19 March 2026, as expected, it received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules due to the Company’s delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The Company noted that it is maintaining excellent service levels, and the intermodal pricing outlook continues to improve as truckload capacity exits the market, which is consistent with bid season awards to date.

In the Logistics segment, Hub continues to onboard significant new business, in particular in Managed Transportation and Final Mile. While, in Brokerage, volumes have declined as it is focusing efforts on improving profitability and expanding revenue per load. The Company continue to take actions to drive growth, improve profitability and increase operating cash flows, which along with its balance sheet strength and strong service positions Hub Group well for long-term growth.

On 19 March 2026, the Company received an expected notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of its failure to timely file its 2025 Form 10-K. The Listing Rule requires Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC.

In accordance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, Hub Group has 60 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. As provided in the Notice, Nasdaq has the discretion to grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the 2025 Form 10-K’s due date, or until 14 September 2026, to regain compliance. The Company can regain compliance with the Listing Rule at any time prior to that date by filing its 2025 Form 10-K. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq.

As previously disclosed, Hub Group requires additional time to complete its year-end financial close process as a result of the restatement of its financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of 2025. The Company is continuing to assess the potential impact to its consolidated financial statements for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023. The Company continues to work diligently to finalise its results for the year ended 31 December 2025, including completion of the restatement of its previously issued financial statements, and expects to file its Form 10-K as soon as practicable and to regain compliance with the Listing Rule within the six-month timeframe.

FedEx has announced the rollout of FedEx SameDay Local, a delivery offering designed to enable its customers to meet rising consumer expectations for flexibility, control, and convenience while balancing their cost to serve.

In collaboration with OneRail, a comprehensive last-mile delivery solution company, FedEx SameDay Local will let shoppers choose two-hour or end-of-day delivery directly at checkout. The service will connect FedEx customers to a national network of more than 1,000 delivery providers, coordinated through intelligent orchestration. Orders are then automatically matched to the appropriate vehicle and driver, dispatched quickly, and tracked with live updates from pickup to delivery.

FedEx SameDay Local will enable:

> Time-definite delivery windows, including two-hour and end-of-day service with a national network
> Near real-time tracking from pickup to drop-off, predictive ETAs, and proof of delivery
> Flexible integration through efficient API connections and full platform support
> Smart orchestration using AI-driven rules to optimise delivery provider selection, routing, and delivery performance
> 24/7 support with proactive monitoring to help stay ahead of delay or disruptions from pickup to arrival
> Ability to fulfil large, oversized, or specialised deliveries

Consumers don’t just expect “as fast as possible” delivery for every order, they increasingly want choices. Some purchases need to arrive immediately, others must come within a precise time window, and sometimes shoppers want the most economical option and are willing to wait. FedEx SameDay Local expands the Company’s delivery offering to give customers the ability to meet this range of preferences.

When it comes to speed, research shows that 96.0% of shoppers define “fast delivery” as same-day, 80.0% want to see a same-day option at checkout, and nearly half are more likely to complete a purchase when same-day delivery is available. Visibility is critical to meeting these demands. 36.0% of consumers prioritise reliable delivery windows, yet only 59.0% of organisations use shipment data proactively to predict and prevent issues, with just 18.0% able to always intervene to minimise the impact when delays occur. By providing near real-time tracking, predictive ETAs, and automated rerouting, FedEx SameDay Local will help customers close this gap, reduce abandoned carts, and build customer loyalty.

Powering Growth with FedEx Transportation and Digital Solutions The launch of FedEx SameDay Local expands the Company’s ability to support customers across the full delivery lifecycle from long-haul transportation to local last-mile fulfilment. The Company’s connected ecosystem optimises delivery routes, reduces costs, and improves reliability at scale.

Australia Post is increasing the domestic parcel sending fuel surcharge for around 30,000 contract customers to help recover the recent significant rise in fuel costs. There is no change for the more than 250,000 MyPost Business customers as well as retail customers.

Effective 23 April 2026, the Australia Post (domestic parcel sending contract) and StarTrack Courier Fuel Surcharge is increasing from 4.8% to 12.0% and the StarTrack Express and StarTrack Premium Fuel Surcharge is increasing from 15.5% to 22.7%.

The Company carefully consider any pricing changes and the impact on its customers, however, like for many other Australian businesses, this is a necessary change to help manage cost in a challenging environment.

Australia Post remains committed to supporting customers and communities and has contingency planning in place for its operations, including onsite fuel storage at key delivery facilities.

The Company noted that this is a very fluid situation that it is carefully assessing and monitoring, and it will continue to keep customers updated.

DP World has handled its 10 millionth container at the Dakar Container Terminal since the start of operations in 2008, underscoring the Port of Dakar’s emergence as a leading maritime gateway in West Africa and its growing role in regional and global trade.

Since taking over operations in 2008, DP World has invested approximately US$340.0 million to modernise the terminal and expand its capacity. Container throughput has increased from 265,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in 2008 to 850,000 TEUs in 2025, while vessel waiting times have been reduced from 35 hours to near zero.

It is now the highest-ranked port in Sub-Saharan Africa for efficiency, according to the World Bank’s Container Port Performance Index.

The Dakar container terminal plays a key role in connecting Senegal and neighbouring economies to international markets, supporting trade flows across West Africa. Efficient port operations are essential for exporters, importers and landlocked countries that depend on reliable logistics corridors.

The terminal also supports agricultural exports and regional value chains. Each year, thousands of cashew farmers in Casamance (south of Senegal) and Guinea-Bissau rely on access to global markets through Dakar, shipping their harvests to buyers in Asia.

Today, the terminal employs approximately 730 people, 99.0% of whom are Senegalese, whose expertise contributes to operations in Dakar and across DP World’s global network.

Senegal’s maritime sector is entering a new phase with the development of the Port of Ndayane, being built by DP World in partnership with British International Investment. Located approximately 50km from the city, the new port will enable future capacity expansion and more efficient inland logistics, addressing the physical and urban constraints of the existing Dakar terminal. The port is currently under construction and progressing on schedule.

Armlogi Holding Corp. has announced a significant expansion of its internal middle-mile transportation network designed to strengthen cost efficiency, reduce reliance on third-party carriers, and deepen the integration between the Company's warehouse infrastructure and downstream delivery networks.

As the Company's eCommerce fulfilment volumes have grown, Armlogi has begun internalising certain key transportation movements between its facilities, major selling platform fulfilment centres, and regional shipping carriers that were previously handled by third-party transportation providers. By bringing these middle-mile routes in-house, the Company believes that this initiative is intended to reduce outsourced transportation costs and, may, over time, improve overall operating margins across its logistics network.

Over the past six months, the Company has expanded its California-based transfer routes by approximately 40.0%–50.0%, increasing operational connectivity between its warehouses and major fulfilment and delivery hubs. During the same period, overall middle-mile transfer volume increased by approximately 50.0%–60.0%, based on internal company data, compared to the immediately preceding six-month period, driven by increased transfer frequency between the Company's facilities and selling platform fulfilment centres. The expansion reflects rising demand across the Company's fulfilment network and its continued investment in the operational infrastructure supporting its more than 600 active merchant clients.

Middle-mile logistics, the transportation layer connecting fulfilment hubs with last-mile delivery carriers, has become an area of increasing investment across the eCommerce industry as supply chains demand faster, more reliable connections between warehousing infrastructure and delivery networks. Armlogi's expansion of its internal transportation capabilities is designed to create a more integrated, end-to-end logistics platform that links the Company's approximately 362,322 m2 of warehouse space across ten facilities in California, Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, and Georgia with the fulfilment and delivery ecosystems of major eCommerce selling platforms.

The latest phase of the development focuses on improving transportation coverage in Southern California. As the network grows, Armlogi aims to gradually expand middle-mile coverage across Northern California and nearby states such as Nevada and Arizona. This expansion is intended to facilitate improved coordination between fulfilment hubs and regional delivery networks.

Building its own middle-mile transportation capability is a strategic step toward improving cost efficiency and reducing dependence on third-party carriers. As fulfilment volumes continue to grow, internalising these critical logistics movements allows the Company to tighten the connection between its warehouse network and the delivery ecosystems that serve merchants. This initiative is consistent with a broader focus on operational efficiency and margin improvement, and the Company see a significant opportunity to extend this network across additional geographies as it scales.

Swissport has reached a significant operational milestone at EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg, handling 1,000 temperature-controlled containers (RKN-equivalent units) through its "cool+connect" facility. The milestone reflects strong growth in pharmaceutical volumes and reinforces Basel’s role as a key European gateway for life science air cargo.

Since the launch of its “cool+connect” infrastructure in February 2025, Swissport has processed more than 1,000 temperature-controlled containers at EuroAirport Basel, with monthly volumes increasing to 200-250 (RKN equivalents units). This sustained growth reflects increasing demand for reliable, airport-based cold chain solutions, positioning Swissport at the heart of global pharmaceutical supply chains connecting Europe with key markets in Asia and beyond. The milestone underscores Basel’s growing importance as a European life science export hub and confirms Swissport’s expanding role as a strategic gateway for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments, backed by a network of 24 certified pharma centres and 65 pharma-capable warehouses worldwide.

With its dedicated cool+connect infrastructure, and integrated digital monitoring systems, Swissport has significantly optimised the handling of +2 to +8C shipments by consolidating consignments directly at the airport in order to be loaded into Active Cooltainer while maintaining 100.0% the cool chain. This eliminates off-airport trucking loops, reduces handling times by around 70.0% and materially lowers CO2 emissions, while ensuring maximum shipment integrity.

Building on the success of cool+connect, Swissport is further strengthening cold chain resilience at Cargo Basel with newly tested thermal covers for transport dollies. Designed for extreme heat and cold conditions, the reusable and washable covers maintain stable temperatures for up to three hours during airside transport. Specially adapted cargo dollies have been equipped with the system, ensuring seamless integration into daily operations without additional handling complexity.

This investment further mitigates weather-related risks and reinforces end-to-end temperature control for critical healthcare shipments, reflecting Swissport’s ongoing commitment to innovation in cold chain logistics.

ECU Worldwide, Allcargo Globals’ wholly-owned global subsidiary, has announced a strategic expansion of its transformative logistics solution, XLERATE 2.0, to provide a high-speed and resilient alternative to Asia-to-Europe trade lanes facing transit disruptions.

Under this alternative routing, cargo is transported across the Pacific to the US West Coast, using Los Angeles (LAX) as a temporary hub. The solution leverages XLERATE 2.0’s premium, time-definite ocean services, ensuring greater transit agility and continuity.

XLERATE 2.0 offers two distinct shipping solutions from China and Vietnam, providing shippers with flexibility as traditional trade arteries remain impacted by shifts in global logistics. These changes have led to reduced overall capacity and the disruption of standard sea–air services via conventional transit points.

This is a one-of-its-kind solution that combines the agility of air freight with premium ocean services, enabling customers to remain competitive even as traditional routes face persistent strain.

For clients with established trans-Atlantic air freight agreements, the LAX Hand-off model ensures that cargo from major ports such as Shanghai (11 days), Ningbo (13 days), Shenzhen (13 days), Haiphong (17 days), and Ho Chi Minh City (20 days) is rapidly deconsolidated and released at the LAX Empire Warehouse within 48 hours of vessel arrival, enabling seamless onward air forwarding to Europe.

For those seeking a fully integrated solution, the Seamless End-to-End Express service offers an ECU-managed corridor that combines premium LCL ocean consolidation with priority air freight injection. Following a rapid, managed transfer at the LAX Gateway, cargo is delivered to major European airports within five to six days of vessel arrival in LAX, delivering near-air transit performance without the standard premium air freight costs.

This service expansion leverages ECU Worldwide’s extensive US network, spanning 30 strategic locations. With XLERATE 2.0, shippers now have a resilient, multi-modal alternative that ensures time-sensitive cargo reach Europe with speed and predictability.

Crown Paints believe that the pace, transparency, and collaboration it has experienced from XPO Logistics has been exceptional and they are considered an extension of its team.

Rhenus has strengthened its partnership with Britax Römer by delivering an integrated logistics solution designed to support the Company’s evolving supply chain requirements and enable a significant scale‑up of operations across Europe. The coordinated organisation supports Britax Römer in managing increased volumes and complexity as its sourcing and distribution model evolves.

As Britax Römer adjusted its sourcing and production footprint, the Company required a logistics setup capable of supporting higher volumes and increased complexity. Rhenus responded with an integrated logistics concept tailored to provide stability, scalability and clarity across the European supply chain.

The solution is centred around the Rhenus site in Wesel, Germany, integrating inbound ocean freight from China to Rotterdam, onward transport via inland waterways, centralised warehousing, and European road freight distribution. The setup also includes onward inland transport via Contargo, supporting efficient connections between the port of Rotterdam and the central logistics hub in Wesel.

Rhenus proactively developed an integrated logistics setup that consolidated key services within a single, coordinated execution model. Several Rhenus business units worked in close coordination to deliver the solution, bringing together the relevant services to deliver a single, integrated logistics solution tailored to Britax Römer’s requirements. The coordinated execution enabled a consistent, end-to-end setup rather than a collection of individual services.

Overall, the project demonstrates how an integrated, solution-driven approach can support customers navigating complexity and scaling operations during periods of supply chain change. In Britax Römer’s case, this meant stabilising a setup that now handles higher volumes and a broader European footprint than before.

UPS has unveiled its largest and most advanced logistics centre in Asia Pacific. Housing advanced automation technology, a full suite of value-added capabilities, and state-of-the-art storage and warehouse management solutions for customers in a wide range of industries, the UPS Taoyuan International Logistics Centre (TILC) helps UPS customers boost productivity, operate more efficiently, and strengthen supply chains.

Located five kilometres from Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), Taiwan’s largest cargo airport, it also provides fast and seamless connectivity to the global UPS network via the 22 flights UPS operates into and out of TPE every week.

Taiwan plays a vital role in global supply chains, especially semiconductor manufacturing and high-value sectors such as medical technology. The TILC, which was created to meet evolving customer needs, boosts productivity, efficiency, agility, and gives customers flexibility for future challenges.

Applied Materials, the world’s leading semiconductor and display equipment company, uses the TILC as its Asia continental distribution centre.

UPS’s investment in the TILC totals nearly US$100.0 million. With over 81,000 m2 of floorspace, it more than doubles the size of UPS’s warehouse footprint in Taiwan. Among its features are a fleet of autonomous mobile robots (AMR), which are programmed to carry out tasks such as pick and pack, and inventory management.

Using AMRs leads to significant productivity gains. For example, once a customer order arrives at the TILC, it can be processed and packed onto shelves roughly 40.0% faster than current processing speeds. Customers can also double the number of products they can stack in the equivalent space on regular shelving. Meanwhile, errors made during the order picking process are reduced to near zero.

This is the latest in a series of investments by UPS in its Asia Pacific network, helping businesses grow by enabling the seamless flow of goods across borders and into UPS’s global smart logistics network.

UPS offers its full portfolio of end-to-end logistics, digital and supply chain solutions to businesses in Taiwan, delivering to over 200 countries and territories worldwide in as little as one business day.

Arvato has selected Prologis Park Poznań III as the location for a new European distribution centre. The investment will deliver a modern 46,000 m2 facility, including 1,000 m2 of office space.

Designed to support advanced processes and automation, the warehouse will serve Arvato’s global client in the retail sector. Once completed, Arvato’s total footprint across Prologis logistics parks in Poland will reach 176,000 m2. The facility is scheduled for completion at the end of 2026.

The new logistics centre will serve both the Polish market and other European countries, supporting physical retail as well as eCommerce operations. Developed as a build-to-suit (BTS) facility, it will be fully tailored to the customer’s operational requirements.

The building has been designed to maximise efficiency and integrate modern technologies. The project will also create 130 new jobs, including roles for SAP key users, WMS specialists, automation technicians, warehouse operatives, and stock control and claims specialists.

Arvato’s new warehouse has been structurally adapted for automation systems and high-density storage. The building, with a 12-meter clear height, will feature narrow-aisle racking systems to make more efficient use of warehouse space. A floor slab built to stringent flatness standards will support the precise operation of mobile robots and the safe movement of VNA trucks in narrow racking aisles.

The warehouse will also be fully prepared for advanced warehouse automation, including an AutoStore system, which enables efficient storage and picking of small-item goods, a particularly important feature for retail-sector operations.

In addition, the facility will meet FM Global fire protection requirements, ensuring an enhanced level of safety.

For Arvato, delivering on its sustainability goals is a priority. That is why the fact that the building will be powered to a significant extent by energy from a dedicated renewable source under Prologis’s Power Purchase Agreement was one of the factors behind the decision to locate at the facility.

Last year, Prologis signed a PPA under which around 67.0% of the energy demand across its logistics and production parks in Poland is covered by electricity generated by a wind farm. The contracted volume is purchased at a fixed, pre-agreed price.

The new Arvato facility will be distinguished by a high level of energy efficiency. Lower energy consumption and improved working comfort in the warehouse area will be supported by natural daylight through roof skylights, as well as a lighting management system. Utility consumption throughout the building will be monitored using smart metering systems. To reduce heat loss and improve thermal performance, the facility will feature enhanced insulation of the external envelope, while the facade and roof will be made of materials with improved thermal properties. These solutions, combined with water consumption monitoring and greywater recovery, will enable more efficient use of resources.

The investment will also include nearly 1,000 m2 of modern office space with a glazed facade, providing access to daylight and improving employee comfort. All heating demand, including domestic hot water, as well as cooling for the office area, will be provided by heat pumps.

Green areas will be developed around the building, including bee-friendly plants; beehives are already located within the park. In addition, the site will include a dedicated relaxation area for employees, as well as bicycle shelters to encourage more sustainable commuting.

Prologis Park Poznań III is located in western Poznań, in the Junikowo district (Poznań-Komorniki), directly adjacent to the A2 motorway connecting Berlin, Poznań and Warsaw. Positioned along one of Europe’s key transport corridors, the park enables efficient domestic and international distribution.

Currently, Prologis Park Poznań III offers around 60,000 m2 of warehouse space. Following delivery of the Arvato project, the park will also offer further expansion potential through two additional buildings totalling around 42,000 m2, creating room for future growth for both existing and new customers.

DSV Solutions has extended its lease for 20,000 m2 of modern warehouse space at Prologis Park Bratislava in Senec, Slovakia.

Panattoni has begun construction of the next phase of Panattoni Park Gorzów II. The new warehouse is being developed on a BTS basis for DPD Polska. The facility will cover 5,300 m2. The tenant will commence operations at the new location in August 2026.

The relocation of operations to a modern facility tailored to the needs of a courier company is DPD’s response to the growing challenges in the area of efficient parcel handling and the further optimisation of logistics processes. The investment will enable the Company to increase productivity, improve working conditions and implement solutions that meet modern courier service standards.

The building has been designed to meet the operational requirements of DPD Polska. The hall will be equipped with specialist courier doors, a multi-level sorter, and advanced building automation systems, including DALI-controlled lighting and twilight sensors. The facility’s infrastructure will also include a photovoltaic installation, chargers for electric vehicles, as well as additional technical elements such as shelters and landscaping in line with the tenant’s operational standards.

The first of these, a 36,500 m2 warehouse, was completed in 2022. The park is located approximately 8.0 km from the city centre, close to the S3 road, which runs along Poland’s western border. This route forms part of the VI European Transport Corridor, linking the Baltic states with countries on the Adriatic Sea and in the Balkans.

Greene King, the UK’s leading pub company and brewer, has unveiled its major new supply chain depot in Middleton, Greater Manchester. The 26,942 m2 warehouse and office space, equivalent to over four football pitches, is officially operational this month, serving around 1,000 Greene King managed and free trade pubs in the northwest.

It marks a £23.0 million investment over the 15-year lease, in partnership with GXO, to harmonise Greene King’s supply chain in the region.

As many as 21,000 tonnes of drink and 11 million cases of food and GNFR (goods not for resale) will pass through the doors of the depot in a year.

The redevelopment of the Middleton site brings all elements of the supply chain, which were previously stored at three depots, under one roof. There will be cost synergies through the consolidation of all food and non-food into one site with opportunities to manage resources across the combined operation.

There are further benefits thanks to the installation of 5,899 m2 solar panels, with the potential to generate a targeted 1.1 million kWH per year. The site has plans for a dedicated ‘re-wilding’ area, featuring perennial wildflowers and native fruit trees aimed to encourage pollinator insects and local birds as part of Greene King’s biodiversity programme.

By having all its food, drink and non-food items delivered from one depot Greene King has an agile and operationally efficient supply chain which is good news for its pub teams, customers and communities.

These technologies will help maximise warehouse space utilisation, increase the speed and accuracy of goods handling, and support long-term operational efficiency.

The building at Prologis Park Prague-Chrášťany was designed in line with Prologis’ long-term commitment to sustainability. It is equipped with heat pumps that provide heating for both warehouse and office spaces without reliance on natural gas, as well as modern LED lighting with intelligent sensors. The roof is prepared for the installation of photovoltaic panels, and the building uses an intelligent metering system enabling continuous monitoring and optimisation of energy consumption. The facility was developed using BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology and has achieved BREEAM certification.

These features support a responsible approach to operations and contribute to long-term environmental efficiency.

Prologis Park Prague-Chrášťany is located close to the D5 motorway, providing fast connections to major transport routes. Prague city centre is approximately a 25-minute drive away (13 km), while Václav Havel Airport Prague is just 6.0 km from the site. The location offers efficient connections for both domestic and international distribution.

Its strategic position enables efficient distribution within Prague and across other regions of the Czech Republic and provides a strong base for the long-term development of Linsan’s logistics operations.

Acme Distribution has selected Made4net's Synapse 3PLExpert WMS to support the next phase of its growth. The solution will modernise core warehouse processes, streamline customer onboarding, strengthen integration capabilities, and expand its eCommerce fulfilment operations.

Founded in 1947, Acme Distribution operates nearly 278,709 m2 across nine facilities in Colorado, Washington, and Pennsylvania, serving more than 300 customers in a complex multi-client logistics environment that includes warehousing, transportation, and fulfilment services.

With Synapse 3PLExpert, Acme gains advanced API capabilities, a dedicated fulfilment module designed for high-volume eCommerce operations, and integrated billing functionality to replace a long-standing in-house system. Automating this billing process will streamline a critical revenue function that previously required significant manual oversight and internal resources to maintain. The solution also supports shared-space, multi-customer warehouse environments, where processes, service requirements, and billing models vary widely across clients.

As third-party logistics providers expand into eCommerce fulfilment and increasingly complex customer environments, many are replacing legacy warehouse systems with platforms designed specifically for multi-client operations.

For Acme, the decision went beyond software functionality alone. After a previous WMS transition did not succeed, the Company approached the selection process with added rigor, including site visits and reference calls with active Made4net customers. What stood out was Made4net's strong US customer base, proven success in 3PL environments, and an implementation approach led by professionals with direct warehouse operations and 3PL IT experience.

Implementation is underway, with early training already completed. As the project progresses, Acme expects the platform to improve warehouse throughput, accelerate onboarding of new fulfilment customers, and position the Company to compete aggressively in the growing eCommerce fulfilment market.

Exotec has announced the deployment of a multi-site programme for Decathlon called Skyfleet. This programme covers a total of seven warehouse sites across five European countries: France, the UK, Portugal, Italy, and Germany, enabling Decathlon to standardise and manage supply chain flows across Europe, while also providing a better working environment for its operators.

Decathlon's Skyfleet represents a new step in Exotec's unique positioning as both an OEM and integrator, delivering a full inbound to outbound solution within a unified architecture. The goal of this programme is to accelerate multi-site deployments on an international scale by simplifying processes.

After deploying its first Skypod robotic system in its Tilburg warehouse in 2021, Decathlon looked to expand this partnership with an ambitious project: standardising store replenishment across the European continent. To accomplish this goal, Exotec designed a warehouse based on a replicable and scalable architecture to deploy across seven of Decathlon's European sites.

Each Skyfleet warehouse is based on a typical configuration:

> A fleet of 150 to 200 Skypod robots
> 100,000 to 125,000 storage locations
> Capacity of 3,000 to 4,000 lines per hour
> 150,000 to 200,000 items per day
> 7 to 13 picking stations (single stations and stations with order movers)
> Parcel buffering before shipping within the same storage system
> Full automation of inbound and outbound flows
> Standardised End-to-End Integration

At each Decathlon site, additional automated equipment is systematically integrated by Exotec to maximise warehouse intralogistics automation: automatic depalletisers, automatic carton opening machines, RFID tunnels, automatic palletizers, etc. For these specialised machines, whose selection during the design phase can be costly and time-consuming; standardising across multiple sites has generated substantial efficiencies and cost savings.

Beyond the design phase, shared learnings and mutualisation within the programme have accelerated deployment phases, particularly system ramp-up.

As with all Exotec projects, flow orchestration and equipment coordination are handled by Deepsky, Exotec's proprietary Warehouse Execution System (WES). This software layer unifies interfaces and ensures end-to-end operational continuity across the warehouse. Site standardisation enabled Exotec to develop a single software codebase shared across all seven warehouses, simplifying deployment.

Standardisation makes it easier to support and train teams in adopting these new technologies. By eliminating much of the heavy lifting, teammates can train in other activities, enriching their skills while continuing to support company growth.

The Skyfleet programme significantly improved working conditions for Decathlon warehouse teams. For example, at the Northampton site (UK), a picker now walks only 1.0 kilometre per day, compared to 10km previously. At the same site, workplace incidents related to order picking have significantly decreased, dropping from 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000.

The new operating model has enabled Skyfleet sites to expand the number of Decathlon stores they serve, driving more efficient store replenishment across Europe. For example, Ferrières (France) now serves 73 stores, up from 37, while Setúbal (Portugal) has increased from 41 to 73 stores.

Throughput has also significantly improved. The Setúbal site now prepares 114,000 orders per day, double its previous capacity of 57,000 prior to the Skyfleet programme.

Standardisation has further streamlined operations and long-term maintenance. While each site remains locally managed, Decathlon benefits from harmonised tools and dashboards that enable teams to benchmark performance, share best practices, and continuously optimise warehouse operations.

The systems are also designed for flexibility and scalability. During peak demand periods, robots can be redeployed between sites, ensuring resources are aligned with operational needs. The Ferrières site, for instance, has already expanded its fleet with 13 additional robots.

Decathlon was looking for a partner to support it in rationalising its logistics network. It chose Exotec because they were able to deploy many sites in a short time and integrate scalable solutions that adapt to its evolution. In five years, it has profoundly transformed the experience of its warehouse employees and written the next chapter of logistics for Decathlon.

Geekplus has launched RoboShuttle V5, a major upgrade to its tote-to-person and embedded robot arm picking station solution. RoboShuttle V5 sets a new industry standard for fully autonomous picking and warehouse fulfilment.

Most tote-to-person systems on the market today automate storage and retrieval but still depend on human pickers at the workstation, creating a persistent bottleneck that limits 24/7 throughput. By integrating its Robot Arm Picking Station natively into the platform, Geekplus bridges the gap where manual labour reaches its limit, enabling non-stop unmanned operation around the clock. As labour availability becomes an increasing challenge across global supply chains, V5 delivers true full-field automation and total autonomous continuity.

Building on the proven strengths of the award-winning RoboShuttle V4 in high-density storage, flexibility, and efficiency, V5 adds a fully decoupled architecture and plug-and-play deployment to make unmanned fulfilment practical at scale.

RoboShuttle V5 has been validated by leading manufacturers across multiple sectors, consistently delivering faster deployment, higher accuracy, 2x efficiency gains, and broad SKU compatibility, with full data security through an on-premises model and ROI achievable within 1–2 years under a capex model.

At the centre of the platform is the Robot Arm Picking Station (RAPS), powered by Geek+ Brain, the Company's proprietary on-premises embodied intelligence engine.

Using a six-camera Multi-Eyes Vision array and zero-shot learning, RAPS identifies and picks items with no post-training required for most SKUs, achieving 99.99% accuracy and throughput of up to 700 units per hour (UPH). The plug-and-play design enables deployment in as little as 48 hours, with a typical ROI of one to two years.

Multiple RAPS workflow modes, including batch picking, order picking, consolidation, and batch-to-bulk-container, enable operators to tailor the system to their specific fulfilment requirements across apparel, pharmaceuticals, electronics, retail, and 3PL.

RS Air robots handle high-frequency SKUs via rail-mounted retrieval at speeds of up to 4 m/s, while rolling mobile RS robots manage long-tail inventory across shared aisles. P40 transport robots connect both systems to picking stations using curved-path navigation, reducing congestion and travel time. A single deployment can orchestrate more than 5,000 robots simultaneously.

The platform supports vertical storage up to 12 meters and accommodates tote sizes ranging from 350×270×120 mm to 850×650×500 mm, with zero spacing between front and rear totes for maximum density.

RoboShuttle V5 is designed to serve both greenfield and brownfield environments. For new-build sites, the platform deploys as a high-throughput batch picking solution, pairing RS Air robots with double-deep racking and RAPS to maximise density and speed from day one. For existing facilities, its modular architecture integrates into established layouts, enabling operators to add RAPS configurations incrementally without redesigning their footprint.

Source Logistics announced a new enterprise warehouse technology and implementation partnership designed to better serve its customers and accelerate its nationwide expansion. The Company has selected IFS Softeon Warehouse Management System (WMS) as its enterprise WMS platform, supported by Alpine Supply Chain Solutions as its implementation and integration partner.

Source Logistics supports customers in the food and beverage, grocery, retail, CPG, and health and beauty sectors, all of which demand speed, accuracy, and traceability to ensure product integrity. To scale its operations, the company required a warehouse management solution capable of handling complex 3PL needs and facilitating consistent, repeatable facility launches across its expanding network.

After evaluating multiple WMS providers, Source selected Softeon based on its deep 3PL expertise, flexible multi-tenant architecture, and API-driven design. The platform’s configuration-based capabilities allow Source to efficiently bring new facilities online while maintaining standardised workflows, system connectivity, and enterprise-wide visibility, ultimately leading to faster and more reliable service for its customers.

Alpine Supply Chain Solutions was selected by Source to lead the implementation processes due to its success implementing Softeon in 3PLs, experienced leadership, and disciplined delivery model focusing on repeatable processes and operational readiness.

This programme is actively advancing with Source’s Montebello, California facility, serving as the foundational implementation site. The initial location helped to establish best practices, operating standards, and system templates that will be replicated across future facilities, reducing onboarding timelines and accelerating network expansion.

As each facility goes live, the new WMS will deliver meaningful, day-to-day benefits for Source Logistics’ customers including faster and more accurate order processing, enhanced lot and inventory traceability, stronger compliance readiness, and improved data security which will enable better forecasting, fewer stockouts, and more confident planning as volumes grow. Together, these improvements reinforce Source Logistics’ commitment to operational excellence and to providing a scalable, reliable platform that supports customers’ long-term growth.

Bpost wants to accelerate its commitment to sustainable energy by installing nine new solar panel parks at its distribution centres in Belgium. In total, the parcel company plans to install more than 12,000 m2 of additional solar panels, resulting in an annual CO2 reduction of 509 tonnes. The first of these new installations has already been completed in Ostend.

As part of its mission to become carbon neutral by 2050, Bpost continues to make efforts to make parcel logistics more sustainable. Already, 28.0% of parcels in the country are delivered emission-free – by bicycle or electric van. In this context, the origin of electricity is, of course, crucial.

Bpost’s objective is to generate as much of this electricity as possible itself in a sustainable way. That is why, in recent years, the Company has already installed more than 70,000 m2 of solar panels on the roofs of 39 different buildings across the country, including post offices, distribution centres and sorting centres. Bpost intends to continue these efforts in the years ahead.

This month, a brand-new solar panel park was installed on the roof of Bpost’s distribution centre in Ostend, from where 6,000 parcels are delivered emission-free every day by postal workers. The Ostend installation covers 2,300 m2 and includes 614 solar panels.

During sunny periods, production is high enough to charge five electric vans from 0.0% to 100.0% every hour. The charging capacity of the distribution centre has also been expanded to no fewer than 83 charging points for postal workers’ vehicles.

Over the next nine months, Bpost plans to add eight more solar panel parks. These will be installed at distribution centres in Ath, Brakel, Ypres, Knokke, Maldegem, Nivelles, Seraing and Tielt. In this way, Bpost expects to install more than 12,000 m2 of additional solar panels, resulting in an extra CO2 reduction of 509 tonnes per year.

In addition to the energy it produces itself, the parcel company sources renewable energy exclusively from external electricity suppliers.

DHL Express has joined “Act for Sky”, a voluntary cross-industry initiative dedicated to the commercialisation and wider adoption of domestically produced Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in Japan.

Efforts to decarbonise the aviation sector continue to progress worldwide, and SAF is widely recognised as an important lever to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from air transport. Through its participation in Act for Sky, DHL Express Japan will collaborate with other member organisations, including energy companies, airlines, and local governments, to promote the wider adoption of made-in-Japan SAF and support the decarbonisation of air transportation.

DHL Express Japan has already taken concrete steps to advance the use of sustainable aviation fuel. The Company signed a SAF agreement with Cosmo Oil Marketing Co. Ltd. in 2025 and, in the same year, started using domestically produced SAF for its regular air cargo shipping operations.

In addition, DHL Express Japan has been offering “GoGreen Plus”, an international shipping service that enables customers to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their shipments by using SAF via DHL’s insetting approach. In Japan alone, the service has already been adopted by more than 23,000 companies.

By joining ACT FOR SKY, DHL Express Japan will further deepen collaboration with industry stakeholders and local governments, strengthening its efforts to promote sustainable air cargo shipping solutions.

DHL Group has set a target of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and is actively advancing decarbonisation across its logistics operations. Besides SAF, the Group is also electrifying its pickup and delivery fleet worldwide and building carbon-neutral facilities.

DHL Group achieved a 10.0% SAF blending rate in its own air fleet in 2025 and aims to increase this share to 30.0% across its air network by 2030. Through these initiatives, DHL is working to reduce emissions across its logistics operations and supply chain.

Einride has enabled Coop, one of Sweden's leading consumer-owned grocery chains, to transition to fully electric deliveries across all of its grocery stores in the Uppland region, north of Stockholm.

The initiative is powered by Einride's intelligent freight mobility ecosystem, which integrates electric trucks and charging infrastructure with the Company's proprietary AI-powered planning and optimisation platform, Saga AI. By leveraging operational and customer data within Einride's digital and electric freight system, Saga AI enables shippers to meet transport demand with fewer vehicles, lower energy consumption, and reduced overall transport costs.

The collaboration between Einride and Coop illustrates how digitalisation and electrification can be rapidly scaled within regional transport networks, offering a model for grocery and consumer-goods distribution globally. The transition covers deliveries to 23 Coop grocery stores in Sweden's Uppland region, encompassing more than 659,000 transport kilometres annually.

By shifting these routes from diesel to electric, Coop and Einride expect to remove approximately 912 tons of CO2 emissions per year, equivalent to removing 596 petrol cars from Swedish roads, supporting Coop's strong commitment to sustainability and broader goals for fossil-free transport by 2030. The deployment is set to reach full scale in the first half of 2026.

Einride has established strong commercial traction, with more than 30 enterprise customers across seven countries, approximately US$92.0 million in expected annual recurring revenue (ARR) from signed customer contracts, and over US$800.0 million in potential long-term ARR through joint business plans with blue-chip customers. In Q4, 2025, the Company announced its plans for a public listing via its proposed business combination with Legato.

PostNL has put its 2,000th electric delivery van for parcel delivery into operation at its parcel sorting centre in Den Hoorn. This marks an important milestone on the path towards the ambition to deliver all letters and parcels emission-free in the last mile by 2030 and to operate fully climate neutral by 2040.

The electrification of the fleet began step by step in 2018 and has now become part of daily operations across the entire parcels network. Currently, 2,000 of the approximately 4,500 daily delivery routes are carried out using the electric vans. The 2,000th electric van helps to further improve air quality and liveability in cities and towns.

For the past year, PostNL has been delivering emission-free in 27 inner cities. The range of electric vans has increased significantly in recent years due to technological developments. As a result, these vehicles can be deployed more widely within the network, and new vans are now replacing the first generation.

To enable the continued growth of the electric fleet, PostNL is also investing in charging infrastructure and smart energy solutions, including software for dynamic charging schedules for electric vans. Charging hubs have been installed at several sorting centres, and at the sorting centre in Alphen aan den Rijn an innovative battery storage system is in use. This battery stores locally generated solar energy to charge electric vehicles during the evening and night, while also helping to relieve pressure on the electricity grid.

As part of their decarbonisation strategies in response to more eco-conscious consumer behaviour and stricter environmental regulations, sustainability is becoming increasingly important for businesses worldwide. This is why DHL Freight is offering Flex options for its GoGreen Plus service across all core road freight products. With three different greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction options of 10, 30, and 80.0% (well-to-wheel) and various pricing schemes, DHL Freight enables businesses of all sizes to effectively reduce their CO2e footprint and play an active role in decarbonising freight.

With the different options of GoGreen Plus Flex and its easy booking process, DHL aim to empower customers, regardless of the size of their business, to reduce their CO2e emissions from transport. It's important not only to provide the right carbon intelligence and solutions but also to make them as easy and convenient as possible for all customers.

Shippers can choose to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of shipments by:

> 10.0% (GoGreen Plus BASE)
> 30.0% (GoGreen Plus SMART)
> 80.0% (GoGreen Plus PREMIUM)

The more customers use the GoGreen Plus service, the more renewable fuels and alternative drives will be deployed. Thanks to the book & claim approach, emission reductions can be allocated to the customers regardless of where in the network alternative drives or renewable fuels are used. This means that customers who do not fill an entire truck with their shipments, for example, can still benefit from the service. Yearly certificates confirm the clear and transparent allocation of the GHG emission reductions achieved and can be used for customers' sustainability reporting. With GoGreen Plus SMART and GoGreen Plus PREMIUM, the achieved emission reductions are reported to customers on a monthly basis.

SHEIN, a global online fashion and lifestyle retailer, has signed an agreement with DHL to adopt its GoGreen Plus service, supporting the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) within air cargo logistics. The collaboration forms part of SHEIN's broader efforts to explore approaches for reducing carbon emissions associated with air transport, while engaging with broader industry initiatives to scale sustainable aviation fuel.

DHL's GoGreen Plus service enables corporate customers to support the use of SAF by introducing it into the aviation fuel supply used within the network. Lifecycle emissions reductions associated with the SAF, relative to conventional jet fuel, are allocated to participating corporate customers using internationally recognised accounting methodologies. These allocations are documented through recognised certification frameworks, enabling participating customers to account for associated SAF-related lifecycle emissions reductions within their emissions reporting.

The agreement with DHL builds on a broader set of pilot initiatives and industry collaborations that SHEIN has undertaken across the air cargo ecosystem. Building on an earlier Memorandum of Understanding signed with Lufthansa Cargo in 2025, SHEIN has also embarked on additional partnerships with logistics providers, cargo airlines and industry groups to better understand how SAF-related solutions may support efforts to reduce lifecycle emissions in air cargo logistics, the economic feasibility of such efforts, and how associated certification and accounting frameworks operate in practice.

In 2025, SHEIN piloted the procurement and use of 187.3 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) across 14 Atlas Air charter flights, achieving an estimated emissions reduction of 579.1 tCO2e.

SHEIN is participating in a pilot programme organised by China National Aviation Fuel (CNAF) and the Second Research Institute of Civil Aviation of China (CASRI) aimed at bringing together multiple airline and corporate partners, in order to advance SAF adoption in China. Through this programme, corporate participants will be able to support SAF adoption through procurement agreements, contributing to the development of a broader commercial framework for sustainable aviation fuel in China. Under this initiative, SHEIN plans to procure from Air China Cargo an initial batch of SAF, with traceability mechanisms to track SAF usage and associated emissions reductions. SHEIN will be among the initial group of participating companies. As part of the pilot, the CASRI and CNAF will jointly issue Certificates based on Proof of Sustainability documenting SAF volumes used and associated lifecycle emissions reductions relative to conventional jet fuel.

To complement these initiatives, SHEIN has also joined Green Fuel Forward, a World Economic Forum–led campaign focused on accelerating SAF adoption in the Asia-Pacific region. The initiative seeks to raise awareness of SAF, foster collaboration between corporates, airlines and fuel producers, and strengthen the demand signal for SAF in Asia Pacific through capacity building activities.

SAF currently represents a limited share of global aviation fuel supply, and its wider adoption remains constrained by limited production capacity and higher costs compared with conventional jet fuel. Addressing these challenges will require continued investment and collaboration across airlines, fuel producers, logistics providers and corporate customers.

Through partnerships with logistics providers and airlines, SHEIN is evaluating how SAF-related solutions may support broader industry efforts aimed at reducing lifecycle emissions associated with air transport, while gaining insights into economic feasibility, certification frameworks, emissions accounting and operational integration.

While these initiatives represent early-stage pilots, SHEIN recognises that the emissions impact will be modest relative to the Company's overall air transport footprint, based on the fact that only a small proportion of SAF is currently blended into conventional fuel globally. These programmes are intended to help establish partnerships and operational experience that may support broader adoption of SAF-related solutions over time as industry capacity and participation continue to expand.

FedEx is strengthening its sustainability efforts across the Asia Pacific with the launch of a new solar installation at the FedEx Shanghai International Express and Cargo Hub. This marks a significant milestone in the Company’s commitment to advancing sustainable logistics infrastructure and makes FedEx the first and currently the only logistics and freight company at Shanghai Pudong International Airport cargo area to generate on‑site solar energy.

The installation leverages existing parking facilities at the Shanghai Hub, where more than 4,000 m2 of solar panels have been deployed. The system is expected to generate an average of 743,000 kilowatt‑hours of electricity annually. Compared with equivalent coal‑fired power generation, this renewable energy output is projected to avoid nearly 417 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year, while reducing about 2.1 tons of particulate matter and 4.21 tons of sulfur dioxide. The electricity produced will primarily support office operations at the hub, significantly increasing the share of clean energy in the Company’s day‑to‑day activities.

The Shanghai solar installation is the latest addition to a growing list of renewable energy projects supporting FedEx facilities across Asia Pacific.

Since November 2022, the FedEx Incheon Gateway in South Korea has generated clean electricity from 2,400 rooftop solar panels, meeting about 19.0% of the facility’s monthly energy needs. The building also uses 100.0% LED lighting, delivering annual energy savings of more than 22,000 kW hours. In Beijing, the rooftop solar array at the FedEx North China Regional Headquarters i became operational in 2023.

Since January 2025, more than 50.0% of the electricity used at the FedEx South Pacific Regional Hub in Singapore has been supplied by on‑site solar generation, which also supports the Company’s local electric vehicle fleet.

To date, FedEx has generated more than 31 GWh of on- and off-site solar energy across over 30 locations worldwide. The Company continues to advance energy conservation, emissions reduction, and low-carbon operations through a combination of emerging technologies, digital innovation, and community sustainability initiatives, including:

> Vehicle Electrification: FedEx has expanded its global electric vehicle fleet to more than 8,000 vehicles, with growing adoption across the region. Electrification in China has surpassed 25.0% while EV operations continue to expand in Japan, Korea, New Zealand and Thailand. Recent additions include the first fleet of six electric cargo vans in Korea, serving high‑density routes in Seoul and Busan, as well as new EVs in Singapore.

> Innovative Digital Tools: Solutions such as FedEx Sustainability Insights, FedEx Ship Manager Lite, and online Customs Declaration tools enable customers to ship more sustainably and efficiently.

> Emerging Technologies: FedEx is deploying AI, autonomous systems, and Internet of Things (IoT) across its network. AI-powered sorting robots and automated guided forklifts are enhancing operational efficiency.

> Sustainability-focused Community Programmes: Through FedEx Cares, the Company’s global community engagement programme, FedEx collaborates with NGOs and local organisations across Asia Pacific to support environmental restoration. In Fiscal Year 2025, employee participation in community projects rose 20.0% year-on-year, while sustainability-focused programmes grew by 14.0%. FedEx team members have planted 3,465 trees and native plants, contributing to ecosystem preservation as well as initiatives such as mangrove restoration and riverbank clean-ups.

Maritime Transport has begun the nationwide deployment of its electric heavy goods vehicle (eHGV) fleet, backed by a major investment in high-powered charging infrastructure, as part of its long-term strategy to decarbonise road freight and build the cleanest, most sustainable full-load supply chain in the country.

19 eHGVs have entered service at sites in Wakefield and Birmingham, UK, with a total of 56 vehicles being introduced across 13 transport depots and rail-connected terminals during 2026. Deployed in phases, Maritime’s electric fleet is expected to achieve ranges of between 300 and 500 kilometres per charge depending on duty cycle, making it well suited to a wide range of regional operations.

To meet energy demand, Maritime is developing one of the UK’s largest independent charging networks for eHGVs with more than 22MW of installed power once complete, enough to charge over 100 eHGVs simultaneously. Powered entirely by renewable electricity, Maritime’s charging network will also be accessible to third-party operators, helping unlock wider adoption of eHGVs across the sector.

The rollout forms part of the government-backed Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID) programme, funded by the Department for Transport and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK. As a lead partner across all three ZEHID projects: ZENFreight, Electric Freightway, and eFREIGHT 2030, Maritime is demonstrating how zero-emission trucks and charging infrastructure can operate effectively within a live logistics environment, while generating critical data to inform future investment and policy.

The first phase commenced at Maritime’s transport depot in Wakefield, where nine Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 vehicles arrived in January through ZENFreight. Six dedicated charging stations, delivered in partnership with VEV, are now in place on site, each with outputs of up to 400 kW and capable of charging a 40-tonne truck from 20.0% to 80.0% in under an hour. Now in use across both container transport and curtainsided distribution, the vehicles are providing early insight across a range of operating conditions. ZENFreight, led by Dynamon, will see Maritime bring in 18 eHGVs and charging points across Wakefield, Doncaster iPort, and London Distribution Park in Tilbury. The project is comparing diesel, battery-electric, and hydrogen HGVs on live routes to assess vehicle performance, energy use and infrastructure needs.

The rollout expanded to the Midlands in March, with four Volvo Aero and six DAF XF eHGVs entering service at Birmingham Rail Freight Terminal through Electric Freightway. Five charging stations, installed by project lead GRIDSERVE, have been added at the site, each with outputs of up to 360 kW. Across the Electric Freightway project, Maritime will operate 20 eHGVs from Birmingham Rail Freight Terminal and its transport depot in Manchester, alongside 10 charging stations. Backed by more than £100.0 million of government and industry investment, Electric Freightway is creating one of the UK’s largest and most advanced charging networks for eHGVs.

A further 18 vehicles will follow through eFREIGHT 2030, led by Voltempo, across five Maritime locations, including its Strategic Rail Freight Interchange at SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton. This phase will also introduce five hyperchargers capable of delivering up to 1MW, with infrastructure already under development ahead of the vehicles arriving.

Several of these locations, including London Distribution Park, Manchester, and Doncaster iPort, are expected to go live from April, subject to grid connection. Additional charging infrastructure is also being installed at Avonmouth and Maritime’s Strategic Rail Freight Interchange at East Midlands Gateway through the UK Government’s Depot Charging Scheme.

Deployment is being delivered through Maritime ZERO, the Company’s dedicated zero-emission road transport division, launched in 2025. ZERO uses a hub-and-spoke model integrating long-distance rail with eHGVs completing onward journeys from inland terminals and port locations. This approach leverages Maritime’s wider intermodal network of more than 40 daily rail services connecting major deep-sea ports with nine open-access inland terminals. By integrating rail and electric road transport, the model maximises vehicle utilisation while reducing emissions across the entire logistics journey.

Maritime’s sustainability strategy combines increased use of rail freight, alternative fuels, smarter route planning to reduce empty mileage, and zero-emission vehicles where commercially viable. In 2022, the Company committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), targeting a 58.8% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2034.

Toll is advancing a safety‑obsessed culture across its global operations, with strong leadership, measurable results and practical programmes that help people make safe choices every day.

Safety at Toll is more than a requirement, it is a fundamental commitment to protecting the things that matter most. Across global operations, teams are embracing a safety‑obsessed culture that empowers people to speak up, look out for one another and make safe choices every day. This philosophy is grounded in genuine care for self and others. Safety becomes meaningful when individuals feel confident to raise a concern, stop work or start a conversation that prevents harm. Visible leadership and practical frameworks support these behaviours and help make safe decision‑making part of everyday work.

A strong focus on culture and leadership is translating into positive outcomes across the business. In FY25 (rolling 12‑month comparison), Toll recorded significant reductions in key safety metrics: Critical Incident Frequency Rate (CIFR) decreased by 22.0%, Significant Safety Incident Frequency Rate (SSIFR) by 19.0%, Medical Treatment Injury Frequency Rate (MTIFR) by 30.0%, Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) by 8.0% and Avoidable Motor Vehicle Incident Frequency Rate (AMVIFR) by 11.0%. These results reflect the everyday choices people make to prioritise safety, supported by clear expectations, consistent coaching and meaningful conversations on the ground.

The organisation’s safety journey has evolved from a compliance‑focused approach to one centred on personal accountability. Leadership development and safety capability programmes have helped build confidence, strengthen communication and create shared responsibility for safe work practices. This ongoing focus is shaping a workplace where teams openly discuss risks, support one another and stop work when something doesn’t feel right.

To build a consistent safety culture across diverse locations and roles, Toll invests in engaging and accessible learning for all team members. These programmes emphasise practical skills, real‑world scenarios and conversations that help people recognise risks early and act on them. Through workshops, on‑the‑job coaching and modern digital learning, team members are supported with the knowledge and confidence needed to make safe decisions and look out for those around them.

Safety is also embedded into the fabric of daily operations across the organisation. Strong leadership, clear expectations and practical tools work together to make it easier for teams to identify hazards, raise concerns and prevent incidents before they occur. By integrating safety into routine activities and decision‑making processes, the organisation cultivates an environment where speaking up, taking accountability and actively supporting others becomes an everyday behaviour, not just during formal safety moments, but in every interaction on site.
