ArcBest has announced a simplified brand structure and a series of organisational changes designed to improve operational efficiency, create a more seamless customer experience, and position the Company for long-term growth and improved profitability.

Effective 01 August 2026, MoLo Solutions, Panther Premium Logistics and ArcBest Technologies will operate under the ArcBest brand, giving customers easier and clearer access to the Company’s full suite of solutions. The ABF Freight brand will continue to represent ArcBest’s less-than-truckload carrier. The simplified brand structure advances ArcBest’s vision to be the leading logistics provider and innovator, working with shippers to build better, more resilient supply chains. It also reflects ArcBest’s continued focus on simplifying how customers access its transportation and logistics solutions.

ArcBest is also streamlining its organisational structure and optimising its operating footprint to better align resources with its long-term strategic priorities. These actions include a reduction of approximately 2.0% of total positions through workforce reductions and the elimination of certain open positions, as well as the consolidation of select service centres representing approximately 1.0% of the Company’s network doors.

The Company expects these measures to improve operating efficiency and generate approximately US$40.0 million in annualised cost savings while maintaining ArcBest’s commitment to premium service.

Uber Technologies, Inc. has entered into a business combination agreement with Delivery Hero, extending the world’s largest mobility and delivery platform to a total of 99 markets, with combined pro-forma Gross Bookings of US$236.0 billion in 2025.

Under the terms of the voluntary takeover offer, Uber will offer Delivery Hero shareholders cash consideration of €41.50 per share, representing an Equity Value of US$14.8 billion (implied for 100.0% of the Company), or US$13.7 billion adjusted for Uber’s prior stake purchases.

Delivery Hero has entered into a separate agreement with SSW Partners, a New York-based investment firm that has led cross-border investments alongside global businesses. SSW will acquire Delivery Hero’s businesses in a total of 14 markets, particularly where Uber Eats and Delivery Hero already overlap, subject to completion of the Uber Takeover Offer and other customary conditions, for a consideration of approximately US$1.6 billion. Uber will not acquire control over the businesses transferred to SSW, and SSW will independently lead the process to find strategic partners that best position those businesses for long-term success.

> Businesses being acquired by Uber:
50 markets generating US$42.0 billion of Gross Bookings in 2025

Baedal Minjok (Republic of Korea); foodora (Hungary); foodpanda (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore); Glovo (Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cote d’Ivoire, Croatia, Georgia, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Montenegro, Morocco, Nigeria, Serbia, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine); Hungerstation (Saudi Arabia); PedidosYa (Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela); talabat (Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, United Arab Emirates)

The food delivery business is highly competitive and scale dependent. Joining forces with a strong partner now is the right move for Delivery Hero to best secure its future competitiveness and ability to deliver value for stakeholders.

The combination is expected to accelerate innovation and deliver meaningful benefits for consumers, merchants, couriers, and drivers. By bringing together Uber’s global technology platform with Delivery Hero’s strong local brands, merchant relationships, and delivery capabilities, the combined businesses will be better positioned to offer consumers greater choice, enhanced value, and a more seamless Uber One membership experience across more of their daily needs. For merchants, Uber’s large, highly engaged, and growing user base is expected to create incremental demand, supported by enhanced advertising, promotional, and local commerce tools. For couriers and drivers, a denser combined network is expected to drive higher order volumes, improved utilisation, and a broader range of delivery and mobility earning opportunities.

The transaction nearly doubles the number of markets where Uber will offer both mobility and delivery services, from 34 to 58 markets, substantially broadening the addressable base for Uber’s proven cross-platform strategy. In Uber’s existing markets, cross-platform engagement represents a highly efficient acquisition channel while also increasing engagement, with cross-platform users generating roughly 3x the Gross Bookings and profits compared to single-product users. Uber expects the transaction to be accretive to Non-GAAP EPS upon close and high-single-digit percentage accretive by year three.

Uber recognises that Delivery Hero's success is built on the talent, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication of its people. Uber fully supports and respects the commitments Delivery Hero has made to employees and has pledged to retain Delivery Hero’s headquarters and make no changes to its workforce in Berlin until at least 2029. Additionally, Uber has committed to invest €2.0 billion in Germany over the next five years, with a focus on developing its local corporate workforce, growing its nationwide business, and launching autonomous vehicle deployments and partnerships with the German automotive industry.

Uber will fund the Takeover Offer through existing cash on its balance sheet and new debt financing. Uber has executed a committed bridge facility of approximately €14.0 billion. The transaction is structured to maintain Uber's strong investment grade credit rating, with gross leverage to remain below 2x, supported by Uber's strong free cash flow generation. Uber's existing capital allocation framework remains unchanged, including its commitment to return excess capital to shareholders through share buybacks.

The Takeover Offer will be subject to a minimum acceptance threshold of 50.0% plus one share of Delivery Hero's outstanding share capital (inclusive of shares owned by Uber) and certain further conditions, including receipt of certain merger control and financial regulatory clearances, which will be set out in full in the Offer Document. Prior to the announcement of the Takeover Offer, Uber held approximately 24.77% of Delivery Hero’s issued voting share capital directly, and held additional economic exposure of approximately 11.74% through equity derivatives. Prosus has entered into an irrevocable undertaking agreement to tender all of their Delivery Hero shares (~17.0% of shares outstanding) into the offer, bringing Uber’s total economic interest to ~53.0%. Uber has committed to not entering into a Domination and Profit Transfer Agreement (DPLTA) for a period of three years. Closing is expected in the second half of 2027.

The Offer Document will be submitted to BaFin for approval and published in accordance with the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG). The acceptance period for the Takeover Offer will commence upon publication of the Offer Document.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. has announced Q2, 2026 net earnings of US$181.0 million, up 40.7% versus Q2, 2025 net earnings of US$128.6 million. The second quarter results reflect leveraging investments in people, technology, and capacity to drive growth and improve profitability. Total operating revenue for the current quarter was US$3.50 billion compared with US$2.93 billion for Q2, 2025, an increase of 19.0%. Current quarter total operating revenue, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, increased 11.0% versus Q2, 2025.

The increase in revenue, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, was primarily driven by increased load volumes in Intermodal (JBI), Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS) and Truckload (JBT), higher revenue per load in JBI, ICS and JBT and increased productivity in Dedicated Contract Services (DCS), partially offset by a 14.0% decline in Final Mile Services (FMS) stops.

Operating income for the current quarter increased 32.0% to US$259.5 million versus US$197.3 million for Q2, 2025. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by higher revenue, improved productivity across the business, continued execution on an initiative to remove structural cost, lower group medical claims and lower facility rental and equipment storage expenses. These were partially offset by higher purchase transportation cost, particularly in the ICS and JBT segments and higher equipment-related expenses. Consolidated operating income as a percentage of gross revenue increased year-over-year as a result of the previously mentioned items, partially offset by higher fuel expense as a percentage of gross revenue.

> Intermodal (JBI)
Q2, 2026 Segment Revenue: US$1.75 billion; up 22.0%
Q2, 2026 Operating Income: US$150.9 million; up 58.0%

Intermodal volume increased 10.0% over the same period in 2025. Transcontinental network loads increased 5.0%, while Eastern network loads increased 16.0% compared to Q2, 2025. Overall demand for intermodal service increased throughout the quarter driven by the strong value proposition it presents to customers facing higher fuel prices and constrained driver and capacity availability in other transportation modes. Volume growth in Eastern network continues to be strong, driven by conversion and overall service execution. Segment gross revenue increased 22.0% from the prior-year period driven by the 10.0% increase in volume and an 11.0% increase in gross revenue per load, resulting from higher fuel surcharge revenue, customer rates and changes in mix of freight. Revenue per load excluding fuel surcharge revenue increased 1.0%. Operating income increased 58.0% compared to Q2, 2025 primarily due to network efficiency resulting from strong volume growth, productivity improvements across the dray network, lower proportion of empty container moves and lower container storage expense. Continued execution on initiatives to lower cost to serve also contributed to the improvement. These were partially offset by higher insurance premium and claims expense and higher professional driver personnel expense.

> Dedicated Contract Services (DCS)
Q2, 2026 Segment Revenue: US$921 million; up 9.0%
Q2, 2026 Operating Income: US$102.5 million; up 9.0%

DCS revenue increased 9.0% during the quarter compared to the same period 2025 driven by a 9.0% increase in productivity (revenue per truck per week) as average trucks were approximately flat versus the prior-year period. Productivity excluding fuel surcharge revenue increased 2.0% from the prior-year period due to contracted indexed-based price escalators. On a net basis, there were five additional revenue-producing trucks in the fleet by the end of the quarter compared to the prior-year period and approximately 140 more versus the end of Q1, 2026. Customer retention rates have improved to approximately 96.0%. Operating income increased 9.0% from the prior-year period. The increase was driven by the higher revenue, lower group medical claims expense and continued progress on the initiative to lower cost to serve. These were partially offset by higher insurance premium and equipment-related expenses and higher new business onboarding expenses compared to the prior year period.

> Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS)
Q2, 2026 Segment Revenue: US$388.0 million; up 49.0%
Q2, 2026 Operating Income/(Loss): US$1.7 million; vs. US$(3.6) million in Q2, 2025

ICS revenue increased 49.0% during the current quarter compared to Q2, 2025. Overall segment volume increased 19.0% versus the prior-year period with growth in both published and spot volume. Revenue per load increased 26.0% due to higher rates across both contractual and transactional volume. Contractual volume represented approximately 65.0% of the total load volume and 63.0% of the total revenue in the current quarter compared to 62.0% and 63.0%, respectively, in Q2, 2025. Operating income was US$1.7 million compared to an operating loss of US$3.6 million for Q2, 2025. The operating environment remained volatile during the current quarter as market capacity dynamics continue to evolve rapidly. Operating results improved from the prior-year quarter primarily due to an increase in gross profit driven by the increases in both revenue per load and volume which more than offset a 54.0% increase in purchased transportation expense. Gross profit margins decreased to 12.5% compared to 15.5% in the prior year period but improved from 12.0% in Q1, 2026.

> Final Mile Services (FMS)
Q2, 2026 Segment Revenue: US$198.0 million; down 6.0%
Q2, 2026 Operating Income: US$5.6 million; down 30.0%

FMS revenue decreased 6.0% compared to the same period 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by known business losses given ongoing efforts to improve revenue quality and profitability across various accounts. The decrease in segment gross revenue was partially offset by stabilising demand across many of the end markets served and the implementation of new business awarded over the past year. Operating income decreased 30.0% to US$5.6 million compared to the prior-year period. Operating income decreased primarily due to the impact of lower revenue and higher purchased transportation expense. The operating income decline was partially offset by lower claims and facility rental expenses and continued progress on the initiative to lower cost to serve.

Truckload (JBT)
Q2, 2026 Segment Revenue: US$240.0 million; up 35.0%
Q2, 2026 Operating Income/(Loss): (US$1.3) million; vs. US$3.4 million in Q2, 2025

JBT revenue increased 35.0% compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue increased 28.0% driven by a 14.0% increase in load volume and a 13.0% improvement in revenue per load excluding fuel surcharge revenue. Total average effective trailer count increased by approximately 45 units, or less than 1.0% versus the prior-year period. Trailer turns in the quarter improved 13.0% from the prior period primarily due to improved network balance and velocity to improve equipment utilisation. Operating loss was US$1.3 million compared to operating income of US$3.4 million for Q2, 2025. Operating performance declined from the prior year period primarily due to higher purchased transportation expense, which resulted in a 12.0% decline in gross profit. This was partially offset by continued cost management and productivity and a more balanced network. JBT segment operating income as a percentage of segment gross revenue decreased year-over-year as a result of higher third-party capacity costs as a percentage of gross revenue.

Net capital expenditures for the six months ended 30 June 2026 approximated US$144.9 million compared to US$399.1 million for the same period 2025. At 30 June 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$4.2 million.

Evri Group is now delivering more than one billion parcels on an annual basis. This follows a record financial year for volumes in FY25/26, as it sets out its ambition to become the UK’s number one parcel delivery company.

Bolstered by a strategic £80.0 million investment into its operations, service and people, the Company’s latest financial report reveals Group parcel volumes increased 17.0% for the 12 months to 28 February 2026.

Following the completion of its merger with DHL eCommerce UK in October 2025, the enlarged group has met its target of exceeding one billion parcels three years earlier than previously planned, with the business now setting its sights on a new target of hitting 1.4 billion parcels by 2030.

The news comes as the newly formed Evri Group reported strong financial results, with revenue up 29.0% YoY to £2.38 billion for the 52 weeks to 28 February 2026, while Group Adjusted EBITDA rose to £402.0 million, marking another year of growth in a very competitive market environment.

Shopping habits have changed for good. The growth of online small businesses, social commerce and pre-loved marketplaces last year is driving parcel volumes higher. The formation of Evri Group, through the merger with DHL eCommerce UK and acquisition of Coll-8, means the Company is better placed to offer greater reach and more ways for customers to send, receive and return parcels at a fair price.

The enlarged Evri Group encompasses six operating brands: Evri; Evri Premium - A Network of DHL; Evri Fulfilment; Evri International; UK Mail; and Coll-8. Together, this gives customers access to the UK's only network that combines affordable consumer delivery, premium high-value delivery, B2B mail, and specialist customs clearance in one place.

The Group increased capital expenditure to £80.0 million in 2025/6 (2024/25: £57.0 million). Capital spend continues to be high-returning with a clear focus on strategic investments underpinning commitment to quality of service and future growth.

The Group has invested around £30.0 million in state-of-the-art automated sortation at Evri’s Barnsley super hub, with a £25.0 million investment in the third tier of sortation and the introduction of a £4.0 million small item sorter. These upgrades will enable the site to process up to 1.5 million parcels per day by Christmas 2026.

The business also announced a £50.0 million investment in its ParcelShop and locker network, aiming to expand to 25,000 UK locations by 2030, more than doubling its current footprint and creating the country’s largest network. This rollout includes the first launch of Evri’s owned smart lockers, offering enhanced functionality for customers.

Beyond physical infrastructure, the Group has invested significantly in technology and automation to improve how it operates.

This includes Veri-snap, an AI-powered system that reviews millions of delivery photographs each day, to ensure deliveries meet customer expectations and best practice standards. As well as the Company’s brand-new courier app, which works in tandem with AI to further enhance delivery quality, compliance and consistency in the final mile. Together this investment in technology underpins the end-to-end courier delivery process, managing quality in real time and recognising high performing couriers.

Retailer and customer-facing improvements include an upgraded AI chatbot with call-back and escalation features, direct chatbot deep-linking for faster customer journeys and a new real-time, fully digital client portal for account management.

With one in four deliveries going to disabled consumers, Evri introduced new accessibility features, including doorstep preferences used by over 90,000 customers and a digital audit reaching 500,000 users, while supporting Scope campaigns and engaging colleagues.

H.I.G. Capital has announced that its portfolio company, OB Streem has completed the acquisition of Med Frigo S.A., a leading provider of temperature-controlled transportation and logistics services in Europe.

Founded in 1991, Med Frigo has established a leading position in temperature-controlled logistics, becoming a logistics leader in the Greek aquaculture export market. The Company serves the largest aquaculture producers in Greece, managing the transportation of fresh fish exports across Europe through a network of owned cold-chain facilities and a refrigerated fleet. Backed by an integrated operating model that combines owned infrastructure, optimised round-trip fleet operations, and trusted client relationships developed over more than three decades, Med Frigo has consistently delivered strong margins and demonstrated resilience across market cycles.

The acquisition follows a period of strategic momentum for OB Stream, including the recent appointment of Alexandros Karafillides as Chief Executive Officer. Alexandros brings more than 25 years of international experience in the consumer goods sector, with senior positions in Greece and abroad. The Group also completed a significant financing with a consortium of leading European banks, to support the continued expansion of the Group.

OB Streem is a fully integrated logistics platform operating across key European trade corridors, offering cold storage, ambient storage, container depots, outdoor storage, and freight forwarding and transportation services. The Group's acquisition of Med Frigo expands its temperature-controlled capabilities and geographic footprint, and with revenues exceeding US$500.0 million, the combined platform is well positioned to capture operational efficiencies, optimise its network, and deepen customer relationships across core markets.

OB Streem is Greece's largest end-to-end logistics partner, with a strong presence across Southeast Europe. The Company serves as a strategic gateway for inbound and outbound trade to Europe and the broader EMEA region. With 400,000 m2 of dry and refrigerated warehouse space and more than 2,000 employees, and operations in eight countries, OB Streem delivers a comprehensive portfolio of integrated logistics solutions.

Through more than 85 strategic representation partnerships worldwide, OB Streem's network provides access to 44 European countries, more than 600 ports, and 250 airports. The Company's commitment to quality and operational excellence is reflected in its 25 certifications covering quality management, safety, security, and business excellence.

Glasgow Prestwick Airport (PIK) has reported its seventh consecutive year of profitability after cargo growth helped drive an 11.0% increase in operating profit to £3.9 million for the year ended 31 March 2026.

Freight volumes rose to more than 46,000 tonnes during the year, with 15 scheduled weekly mainland China freighter services and three weekly Hong Kong services strengthening the airport’s position as an uncongested UK trade gateway.

Freight volumes quadrupled over the last year, reflecting the successful execution of a strategy to position the airport as a leading UK cargo gateway.

The development of long-haul scheduled cargo connectivity, particularly with Asian markets, has driven both import and export growth, supported by investment in cold storage facilities, enhanced handling capabilities, and bonded warehouse infrastructure.

The airport’s dedicated Terminal E eCommerce facility has now processed more than 33 million parcels, with Royal Mail and Evri establishing operations at PIK to support direct airport to last mile handling.

PIK has also made substantial investment in cool chain capability, including dedicated personnel, temperature monitoring, enhanced screening, and 87 tonnes of chiller capacity.

The investment has supported the airport’s seafood export service, with 1.78 million kilograms of Scottish salmon exported in the first six months of 2026.

Cargo growth has created more than 250 direct jobs, with the airport’s in-house operating model supporting aircraft handling, cargo processing, fuelling, and air traffic control through a single operational structure.

PIK anticipates further growth in the year ahead as it continues to build scheduled freighter capacity, expand eCommerce handling, and invest in specialist infrastructure for perishables, pharma, aerospace, energy, and high value freight.

PostNord has reported Q2, 2026 net sales of SEK9,223.0 million, up from SEK8,843.0 million, driven mainly by growth in parcel and logistics. Parcel volumes rose 9.0% while mail volumes fell 18.0%. Operating income (EBIT) amounted to SEK189.0 million (SEK262.0 million), giving an operating margin of 2.0% (3.0%). Adjusted operating income was SEK239.0 million (SEK291.0 million), an adjusted margin of 2.6% (3.3%).

For January–June 2026, net sales were SEK18,034.0 million (SEK17,848.0 million), a like-for-like decline of 1.0% in fixed currency (previously -6.0%). Parcel volumes increased 11.0% while mail volumes dropped 18.0%. EBIT for the period totalled SEK326.0 million (SEK451.0 million), an operating margin of 1.8% (2.5%). Adjusted EBIT was SEK376.0 million (SEK566.0 million), an adjusted margin of 2.1% (3.2%).

The Company attributed the decline in income primarily to the ongoing transition in Denmark, where the Danish mail business was discontinued at the end of 2025. The move has reduced synergies between parcel and the former mail operations in Denmark and weighed on earnings. The Company added that most other operating segments improved in the quarter as its transformation toward a Nordic parcel and logistics operator continues.

PostNord said it is continuing to invest in capacity, technology and customer-facing solutions to strengthen its parcel position. Notable projects include a new parcel terminal in Timrå, north of Sundsvall in northern Sweden, planned to be operational in 2028, and ongoing expansion of its Nordic parcel locker network. These investments are intended to boost delivery capacity and the Company’s presence in northern Sweden and across the Nordics.

Regulatory changes in Sweden also affect the business: a revised Postal Ordinance, effective 16 June 2026, allows an extra day for letter delivery in Sweden. The Company said the change enables it to better align deliveries and services with demand and to provide a widely available, self-financed postal service while focusing on a sustainable mail business and the development of its parcel and logistics activities.

PostNord reiterated progress on its climate transition under the Green by PostNord programme, with investments in electrification and continued use of biofuels during the transition period. The Company aims to achieve net zero emissions in the value chain by 2040.

GEODIS has reached two important milestones for its pharmaceutical logistics operations in Poland. The Company has renewed its IATA CEIV Pharma certification for its air freight operations in Warsaw while also obtaining Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification for its Stryków Dobra contract logistics site, reinforcing compliance with the highest standards governing the transport, handling and storage of pharmaceutical products.

The renewal also reflects the continued expansion of GEODIS' certified healthcare network in Europe, where the Company now operates IATA CEIV Pharma-certified capabilities across 13 countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Across this network, GEODIS provides certified pharmaceutical logistics services through key operational hubs including Amsterdam, Brussels, Budapest, Copenhagen, Dublin, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Stockholm, Warsaw and Zurich.

Complementing the air freight certification, GEODIS has also obtained GDP certification for its Stryków Dobra branch in Poland. The certification confirms compliance with the most stringent European Union and national regulations governing the storage, transport and distribution of pharmaceutical products and recognises the site's long-standing operational excellence in healthcare logistics.

Together, these certifications further enhance GEODIS' integrated pharmaceutical logistics offering in Poland, combining certified air freight operations with GDP-compliant contract logistics. In the country, GEODIS operates 15 logistics warehouses totalling approximately 195,000 m2, including a dedicated pharmaceutical facility in Pruszków, while its Freight Forwarding network handles more than 2,400 tonnes of air freight annually through four locations.

American Airlines Cargo has established a dedicated pharma corridor connecting key European life sciences hubs in Amsterdam (AMS) and Brussels (BRU) with major US destinations via London Heathrow (LHR). The corridor is designed to support the growing demands of pharmaceutical and healthcare supply chains, delivering a fully integrated, temperature-controlled logistics solution across both ground and air networks.

Built in alignment with IATA CEIV Pharma and GDP standards, the corridor leverages American’s extensive daily transatlantic flight network from London to key US pharma hubs. The solution integrates validated temperature-controlled trucking services operated in partnership with FlyUs Aviation Group (FlyUs) with American’s ExpediteTC offering to ensure seamless, end-to-end cold chain protection.

Operating as a daily, GDP-certified service since 01 May 2026, the temperature-controlled trucking connects Amsterdam and Brussels directly with London Heathrow, one of American Airlines Cargo’s largest international gateways. Designed specifically for pharmaceutical and healthcare shipments, the service supports defined temperature ranges of 2C to 8C and 15C to 25C in both directions, helping ensure product integrity throughout the ground portion of the journey.

The corridor brings together standardised processes across ground handling, transfer and air transport to ensure consistent temperature control and compliance throughout the journey. By connecting leading European pharmaceutical gateways with the strength of American’s global network, it creates a reliable, scalable solution for moving temperature-sensitive healthcare shipments.

With nearly 3,000 Bboxes, Bpost operates the largest parcel locker network in Belgium. Thanks to a growing range of services for businesses, public authorities and consumers, these lockers are becoming increasingly versatile. Bpost is now taking the next step by allowing people to rent a personal locker in a Bbox.

The new, user-friendly service, called Bbox Rent & Store, lets users rent a locker directly via the locker screen for a specific period of time. They can safely store or hand over items for anywhere between four hours and a maximum of two days. The service is available 24/7 in nearly 400 Bboxes across the country, mainly in urban areas and along the Belgian coast.

Consumers have identified several practical uses. The most frequently mentioned are storing shopping bags while shopping in the city or safely keeping personal belongings during a day trip. Bboxes can also serve as a convenient handover point between individuals, for example when lending personal items. Users can either enter the recipient's email address or simply share the QR code with them.

Renting a locker for personal use is done directly on the Bbox screen. The user selects the locker size and desired rental period, enters their email address and pays the applicable fee using their smartphone. They then receive a QR code by email, which allows them to open the locker. The rental price starts at €1.80 for the initial 4-hour period and varies depending on the locker size and total rental duration.

Bpost already operates nearly 3,000 parcel lockers across Belgium and continues to expand in public spaces through flexible logistics. The Company is steadily increasing the range of services available to consumers, businesses and cities. Several B2B and B2C services have already been introduced through the Bboxes, including Night Delivery for technicians and Click & Collect for retailers. Bpost's ambition is to have a Bbox within a five-minute reach of every Belgian.

Quadient announced that its Parcel Pending by Quadient network now exceeds 3,000 locations across the UK. This achievement strengthens one of the country's largest carrier-agnostic open locker networks and expands convenient out-of-home services for consumers, retailers, service providers and carriers.

Lockers serve as local convenience hubs, providing secure self-service parcel collection and returns for multiple carriers through a single network. Open to all major logistics providers, including Royal Mail, Evri, DPD and UPS, the lockers allow consumers to send, collect and return parcels securely, 24 hours a day at key convenient locations across the country. The network also supports prescription collection, retail click-and-collect, key exchange, spare parts collection and temporary luggage storage through partnerships with companies such as KeyNest, Stasher, Qeepl and Radical.

This expansion aligns with evolving consumer expectations. For carriers and service providers, the network offers a scalable and cost-effective alternative to home delivery, reducing failed delivery attempts, improving operational efficiency, and supporting sustainability through consolidated first and last mile deliveries.

Strategically located in premium locations in retail destinations, railway stations, petrol forecourts, leisure venues, and community locations, the lockers also help generate additional footfall for hosts and simplify everyday errands for consumers.

The Czech Republic’s combination of a strong manufacturing base and one of Europe’s fastest‑growing eCommerce markets is increasing demand for integrated logistics and global supply‑chain management. The trend highlights the need for combined transport, warehousing and customs services that connect Czech companies to international trade routes.

Industry remains a pillar of the Czech economy, accounting for about 30.0% of GDP. Key sectors include automotive, machinery, electronics and chemicals. Nearshoring and investment in electromobility are reinforcing the country’s industrial profile; recent projects such as a new Toyota battery and electric vehicle initiative in Kolín illustrate growing capacity for advanced manufacturing.

Close integration with German production is a longstanding feature of Czech trade, with Germany absorbing roughly 30.0% of Czech exports. That exposure has underlined the importance of market and supply‑chain diversification, with neighbouring Poland emerging as an increasingly important partner for Czech exporters and suppliers.

At the same time, online retail now accounts for about 17.0% of Czech retail sales, well above the EU average of about 11.0%. Czech consumers purchase electronics, fashion, home goods and groceries online at high rates, and retailers are expanding cross‑border activity. The market is evolving into a gateway for eCommerce across Central and Eastern Europe.

These factors are driving demand for end‑to‑end logistics: contract warehousing, value‑added services such as co‑packing and order‑fulfilment, flexible road distribution and reliable international transport by air and sea. Prague Airport provides time‑sensitive air connections, while seaborne trade is supported via ports in Germany, the Netherlands and increasingly Poland, together with efficient land links to neighbouring countries.

Customs clearance and regulatory compliance are playing a larger role as supply chains globalise. Firms require support for import, export and transit procedures, temporary storage, inward and outward processing and certificates of origin, plus guidance on evolving EU rules such as CBAM and EUDR. To meet these needs, Rohlig SUUS Logistics has opened a new customs office in Brno, located in the Brno‑Slatina customs building with direct access to motorways D1 and D2 and close to the airport, enabling faster clearance for regional and international flows.

Rohlig SUUS Logistics has been active in the Czech Republic for more than eight years. The Company operates a modern logistics centre in Brno, provides daily groupage connections linking Prague with Wrocław and Brno and Ostrava with Katowice, and has bolstered local customer service with a dedicated team in Prague. Rohlig SUUS Logistics offers integrated customs, transport and warehousing solutions aimed at clients operating in both regional and global supply chains.

HOYER Group has strengthened its standing in independent quality and sustainability assessments, securing the EcoVadis Gold Medal and raising its overall EcoVadis score from 78 to 83, placing the Company in the 97th percentile worldwide. In recent months the Company also recorded SQAS scores of over 90 points across workshops, cleaning and depot operations, and in Road & Intermodal and Gas Logistics audits.

EcoVadis evaluates firms across four areas — environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The Company improved its performance in all four assessment areas compared with the prior year, with the largest gains in environment and ethics. EcoVadis results were described by the Company as confirmation of progress in implementing sustainability measures across its operations.

Parallel audits under the Safety and Quality Assessment System (SQAS) consistently returned scores above 90 points across several business lines, including cotac, Road & Intermodal and Gas Logistics, with results showing continuous improvement. The Group’s quality management system was also recently recertified to ISO 9001.

The Company said the combined outcomes reflect a structured, group-wide approach to advancing sustainability, quality and operational excellence and credited the results to coordinated efforts across multiple functions and locations.

Leidos and DHL Supply Chain have formed a strategic alliance to bring integrated, resilient and scalable logistics capabilities aligned to the UK Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) Future Defence Support Services (FDSS) programme.

Operating as the Logistics & Mission Support Alliance as part of a competitive contract bidding process, the partnership brings together Leidos’ Defence integration expertise and DHL’s global logistics scale and operational capability in support of the MOD’s future Defence logistics requirements. If successful, the alliance would help modernise Defence logistics, strengthen readiness, improve resilience and provide more agile support to the UK’s Armed Forces.

By maintaining continuity of supply and enabling rapid recovery, the alliance will help ensure the Armed Forces have the support they need, when and where they need it.

The alliance will also draw on advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, data analytics and automation to help optimise logistics operations and enhance visibility across demand, inventory and assets. This approach is intended to support more informed decision-making and strengthen operational effectiveness.

Unipart, KBR and IBM have announced the launch of Team ORION to provide operational resilience, world-class logistics, and future-ready technology to the UK Ministry of Defence.

Unipart believes that it’s established history in executing high-stakes operational transitions, proves it knows how to handle complex, zero-fail environments.

Smiths News, the UK's largest news wholesaler and a leading provider of early morning end-to-end supply chain solutions, has successfully secured new long-term contracts with each of Frontline Limited (the UK's largest magazine distributor) and Seymour Distribution Limited (part of the Frontline Group and the UK's largest independent magazine distributor).

The agreements with Frontline and Seymour include an expansion of the distribution territories in which the Company is appointed as the exclusive national wholesale distributor for Frontline and Seymour titles across all of Great Britain (effective from April 2030) and an extension in the contract term of the Company's appointment through to April 2037. The expansion and extension provide Smiths News with long-term visibility over volumes as well as improved commercial certainty.

The Contracts together are expected to represent an incremental uplift in Smiths News' revenue of c.£105.0 million per annum across the expanded territories of Great Britain from April 2030. Combined, the Frontline and Seymour portfolios account for over 60.0% of the UK magazine market.

The Contracts come in addition to both the News UK contract and the Associated Newspapers contract awards announced in June 2026. Taking all four contract awards together, Smiths News has now successfully secured a substantial long-term volume base of the national newspapers and magazines market.

As previously announced, key to delivery of all four contracts secured to date will be the establishment of an expanded national footprint. Guidance around the implementation costs, early-life transition costs, benefits of network expansion, as well as dividend and financing arrangements, remains unchanged from the Company’s announcement on 17 June 2026.

The Board expects to provide further guidance on the financial effects of all contracts in due course and, in any case, at the time of its preliminary financial results on 04 November 2026.

The new contracts continue to reinforce the importance of the printed magazine market which Smiths News’ business model has successfully evolved to support, building a sustainable, efficient and resilient route to market for the magazine category, while maintaining service continuity for publishers and retailers.

CEVA Logistics and Zalando, a European technology platform for fashion and lifestyle, announced the extension of several long-standing logistics agreements across Europe. The multi-year contract extensions cover fulfilment centres, return centres and inbound distribution operations in key European markets, further strengthening their long-term partnership.

CEVA has been an important enabler of Zalando's growth over the past decade. By extending these agreements, Zalando is securing the logistics capabilities needed to support its customers and partners across Europe while continuing to optimise its network following the successful integration of ABOUT YOU.

The new agreements ensure continued collaboration through at least 2030, providing a strong foundation for future growth, operational excellence and enhanced customer service across Zalando's pan-European logistics network.

The latest contract extensions reflect the strategic importance of the partnership and provide both companies with long-term planning certainty. The extended agreements include the operations at key fulfilment and return hubs across Germany, the Netherlands and Poland, among them Zalando's large-scale logistics centre in Rotterdam.

CEVA Logistics has extended its long-standing relationship with global biopharmaceutical company GSK for an additional five years. Under the renewed agreement, the 3PL leader will continue to manage GSK's key distribution centre in Robakowo, located near Poznań, Poland. The contract highlights CEVA’s role in GSK’s supply chain across Northern and Central Europe and its commitment to delivering innovative logistics solutions for the pharmaceutical industry.

CEVA Logistics has managed the Robakowo facility since 2012, delivering high-quality logistics services and specialised value-added solutions for the pharmaceutical sector. Over 14 years of collaboration, continuous process improvements, strategic investments and rigorous audits have significantly enhanced its operational efficiency. Today, the facility meets stringent compliance criteria, including being fully compliant with ISO 9001:2015.

The distribution centre in Robakowo is one of four facilities managed by CEVA as part of its strategic partnership with GSK in the European supply chain, with the other centres located in France, Italy and Spain.

DPD Ireland has announced a major €10.0 million expansion of its warehousing and logistics capabilities with the creation of 200 jobs. The expansion is driven by continued strong performance across all areas of its business, including next-day delivery, logistics services, and Out of Home solutions.

The Company is investing €10.0 million in developing a second distribution hub, which will be located at Gateway Logistics Park, Newlands Cross, Naas Road, Dublin 22. This strategic expansion will enable DPD Ireland to meet increasing parcel volumes and further enhance service capacity nationwide.

The new distribution hub will be fully operational by October 2026.

Panattoni has commenced construction of a new logistics terminal for InPost near Toruń. The 16,500 m2 cross-dock facility will be developed on a BTS basis and will support the operator’s further expansion of its logistics network. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of this summer.

The terminal will be equipped with advanced technological solutions enabling the efficient handling of growing parcel volumes and the optimisation of logistics processes. The project involves the implementation of modern solutions supporting the automation of operations, as well as improving energy efficiency and user comfort.

The new development is situated near the Lubicz junction, which connects the A1 motorway, running from Poland’s northern to its southern border, with national road No. 80. This provides quick access to various parts of the region and the country.

The park is situated just 10 km from the centre of Toruń and 53 km from Bydgoszcz. Its location in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship also allows access to the Port of Gdańsk, one of the largest ports in Europe, in less than two hours.

In line with Panattoni’s standards, the development will undergo BREEAM certification at the Excellent level.

SEGRO has signed a lease with Monoprix for a unit of approximately 1,300 m2 at SEGRO Centre Paris Les Gobelins, its urban logistics hub located in Paris’s 13th arrondissement.

Monoprix is setting up a satellite warehouse there to supply its Parisian stores in Beaugrenelle (15th arr.) and Saint-Michel (5th arr.). This location allows the retailer to bring part of its supply chain closer to its retail locations, as close as possible to their customer base, as part of a strategy focused on operational efficiency and local urban logistics.

This new lease agreement demonstrates that SEGRO Centre Paris Les Gobelins is well placed to provide businesses in the retail, distribution and logistics sectors with an inner-city solution capable of supporting the performance of their Paris operations, at a time when logistics real estate is becoming increasingly scarce in the heart of major metropolitan areas.

The unit leased by Monoprix offers approximately 1,300 m2 of space, a loading dock accessible to 19-metric-ton trucks and two ground-level access doors. These features enable the organisation of logistics flows tailored to the needs of a retail chain located in the city centre.

From the SEGRO Centre Paris Les Gobelins facility, textile and home goods are delivered in packaged form from Monoprix’s central warehouse. They are then prepared on-site by the retailer’s teams before being transported directly to the relevant stores via daily shuttle runs operated by light commercial vehicles.

For Monoprix, this facility provides a practical solution to the challenges of supply chain management in a dense urban environment, ensuring a steady supply of inventory to its stores.

Following DB Schenker (through its subsidiary Les Triporteurs Français) and a major Chinese eCommerce player, the arrival of Monoprix confirms the appeal of the SEGRO Centre Paris Les Gobelins to companies with complementary profiles that are committed to transforming their urban logistics models.

Located in the Olympiades neighbourhood, in the immediate vicinity of Paris’s major thoroughfares, SEGRO Centre Paris Les Gobelins spans a total of 75,000 m2, including 50,000 m2 of flexible rental space. Designed to meet the evolving needs of urban retail, the site enables businesses to bring their logistics operations closer to their end customers while optimising their supply chains in the heart of the city.

Accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the site offers infrastructure that is rare within Paris and suitable for a wide variety of uses: retail, eCommerce, transportation, urban logistics, services, bike logistics and off-site warehousing.

This transaction was completed with the assistance of EOL (a Dils company), a real estate consulting firm specialising in industrial, logistics and commercial properties.

Pelican Bus + Coach has officially broken ground on its new dedicated 3,716 m2 National Parts Distribution Centre warehouse in Castleford, West Yorkshire, UK, marking another significant milestone in the Company’s continued investment in customer support and aftermarket excellence.

The purpose-built facility will house more than £7.5 million of Yutong parts stock when it opens, with capacity to more than double this in the future. This increased scale will strengthen parts availability, reduce downtime for operators and provide the resilience needed to support the rapidly growing Yutong bus and coach fleet operating throughout the UK and Ireland.

The expansion will create additional skilled roles across warehouse operations, logistics, inventory management and customer support, further enhancing Pelican’s investment in the local community.

The new warehouse will significantly increase the Company’s parts capacity and allow it to respond even faster to customers’ requirements. With more than 2,500 buses and coaches currently in service and increasing at a rate of 1,000 per year before it takes into account the arrival of the Yutong electric truck, this new PDC will future proof the parts operation, strengthen operational excellence and ensure the Company can continue to deliver the high levels of support and responsiveness that customers expect.

The new 12m high warehouse has been designed to meet the latest BREAM Excellent standard and incorporates Yutong brand styling, a large yard parking area and space to support future expansion as the business continues to grow. The investment forms part of the Group’s wider growth strategy and reflects its commitment to reinvesting in UK-based infrastructure.

Construction has commenced on a 8,454 m2, built-to-suit warehouse in Coventry, UK backed by a £24.0 million investment from Volvo Group to strengthen spare parts distribution and service market support across the UK and Irish markets. The facility will support Volvo Group brands, including Volvo Trucks, Volvo Buses, Renault Trucks and Volvo Penta.

The facility will consolidate parts operations currently based in Rugby and is expected to be fully operational in 2027.

The new warehouse is being built on a prime 4.7-acre plot at the entrance to SEGRO Park Coventry and will see the transfer of all operation parts currently based in Rugby. Site access is planned for early 2027, with the automated storage system set to introduce this technology to a Volvo Group warehouse in Europe for the first time. The facility is expected to be fully operational in the second half of 2027.

The move is expected to accommodate both existing and new employment opportunities for the local community. The design aims to improve efficiency, sustainability and first-time pick accuracy, while ensuring the site can meet demand from Volvo Group's growing vehicle parc and expanding presence in the industrial and marine engine sectors.

As customer expectations and operational demands evolve, it is essential that Volvo invest in facilities that provide both the capacity and flexibility needed to support its long-term ambitions.

Automated parts picking will be implemented in a portion of the site, plus a bespoke-built layout is being adopted to increase the efficiency of both inbound and outbound goods, minimising the risk of delays. Dedicated battery storage facilities will be added in a second phase, to support the continued roll-out of electric trucks and buses into the market. Once fully operational, the Coventry hub is expected to fulfil more than 1.3 million order lines each year.

RDC Coventry marks an important first step in developing the Company’s European service and distribution structure. It will strengthen resilience and help deliver even higher uptime for customers, supporting Volvo Group's ambitious growth plans.

The new building has been designed to BREEAM Excellent certification standards, placing it in the top 10.0% of UK buildings for sustainability, and signifying best-in-class performance for energy efficiency, water conservation and occupant health. It will also have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) 'A' rating, placing it in the highest possible energy efficiency band.

The design maximises the use of natural light across the warehouse and office areas, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and contributing to reducing the site's overall energy use.

The Coventry hub is one of several automation investments underway across the Volvo Group's global service network, alongside facilities in Tacoma (US) and Lyon (France), and a recently commissioned system in Sydney (Australia), part of a wider effort to strengthen uptime and service growth for customers worldwide.

Mileway was assisted in this lease by JLL and DK Makelaars. DK Makelaars advised Mileway on the transaction with DSPA.

According to press reports, Amazon is to invest in new customs-friendly warehouses in China. These will be located close to key ports. The investment is set to include a global warehousing and distribution centre near Shanghai's Yangshan deep-water port and also a large facility in Shenzhen. Additionally, a facility in the eastern port city of Ningbo is expected to open in the coming weeks.

China reportedly accounts for more than half of Amazon's global seller base.

Amazon entered China in 2004 with the acquisition of local online bookseller Joyo.com, which it rebranded as Amazon China in 2011. It has found tough competition in a market increasingly dominated by Alibaba's Tmall and JD.com. In 2019, Amazon closed its domestic marketplace operations on Amazon.cn, instead focussing on cross-border eCommerce, cloud computing, Kindle e-books, and supporting Chinese brands that sell to customers abroad.

Victoria PLC, the international designer, manufacturer and distributor of innovative flooring, has confirmed completion of the €34.4 million sale and lease back of its Belgian distribution centre to Avantage Property Holding BV. The consideration compares to a net book value of €5.6 million as at 31 January 2026 and existing tax losses will be utilised to mitigate capital gains tax.

The relocation of the majority of Balta Rug's production to Turkey is well advanced, with finalisation of this very substantial project expected during Q3 FY2027. The distribution centre will remain the key European distribution hub for Balta Rugs.

Alongside two additional surplus property disposals that are in process, the proceeds are expected to fully fund the exceptional costs and capital expenditure associated with the transfer of manufacturing to Turkey.

As of June 2026, lululemon’s new facility in Brampton, Ontario, Canada is fully operational, strengthening the Company’s North American eCommerce fulfilment capabilities while creating new opportunities for employee growth and development. Spanning more than 92,903 m2 and featuring one of the largest AutoStore-enabled facilities in North America, lululemon’s newest DC supports the fulfilment of lululemon’s growing eCommerce business across Eastern Canada and Eastern US.

The facility expands the Company’s fulfilment capabilities in Canada and the US, enabling it to better serve guests and operate with greater speed and agility. The opening represents collaboration across operations, engineering, technology, facilities, and supply chain teams, and reflects a commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and creating new opportunities.

The facility is designed to bring together advanced automation, operational expertise, and a people-first approach to support lululemon's continued growth. In partnership with Element Logic, the facility’s integrated automation system is designed to improve speed, flexibility, and scalability while supporting a seamless guest experience. The facility includes eight kilometres of conveyance. To help visualise its size, approximately 57 NHL hockey rinks could fit within the building footprint, while the mezzanine alone is comparable to the size of two European football pitches.

Beyond the technology, the Brampton DC represents an investment in lululemon’s people and capability-building. As new systems and technologies are introduced, employees are gaining opportunities to develop specialised operational and technical skills, creating new career pathways and supporting long-term professional growth across the distribution network.

The operational details:

The Brampton DC features a major AutoStore system with 525 R5 pro robots and 292,000 storage bins, supported by approximately 24,000 linear feet of material handling equipment, an overhead monorail transport system, advanced omnichannel fulfilment technologies and a fully integrated software ecosystem. Together, these systems help support one of North America’s largest and most advanced automated distribution operations, strengthening lululemon’s ability to move product efficiently across stores and eCommerce. Developed and launched through a phased approach, the DC became fully operational in June 2026 following extensive planning, testing, training, and readiness activities.

The Brampton facility is the largest AutoStore deployment in Canada and second largest in North America. It reflects what is possible when long-term trust and technical execution come together at scale.

Element Logic first partnered with lululemon more than a decade ago on a modest automation project. That relationship has since grown into a global programme spanning nine distribution centres across Canada, the US and Australia, with Brampton serving as the partnership’s most ambitious project to date.

SEUR has opened its new logistics centre in Alaquàs, Valencia, a strategic infrastructure with which the Company reinforces its presence and operational capacity in the Valencian Community.

This new centre spans over 31,800 m2 and has involved an investment of €28.9 million. Around 600 people work at the facility, which manages more than 70,000 packages a day, reflecting its significance within SEUR's logistics infrastructure and its capability to respond to the needs of both businesses and consumers.

The Valencian Community holds a key strategic position within the Company's network due to its business dynamism, location, and the weight of its economic activity. This centre allows SEUR to gain efficiency, reinforce the quality and reliability of its services, and support the growth of local and regional businesses.

The opening of this centre responds to a long-term vision. It is not just about increasing capacity, but about anticipating market evolution and having a more robust network capable of absorbing peak activity and guaranteeing service effectiveness.

The opening of this facility is part of SEUR's strategy to continue investing in innovation and infrastructure, as well as to strengthen its operational capacity. In a context where logistics has become a decisive factor for business competitiveness, the Alaquàs centre will enable the Company to offer a more agile, efficient service that is fully prepared to adapt to market trends.

SEGRO has signed three new lease agreements at SEGRO Park Coventry, covering about 50,168 m2 of space across the development in Coventry, UK. The lettings include pre‑lets to Volvo Group UK and DIRKS Consumer Logistics and a full‑unit lease to GigaCloud Technology.

SEGRO Park Coventry sits on a 73‑acre site and, once complete, will provide about 343,841 m2 of industrial and distribution space. Including the latest agreements, almost 157,835 m2 of space at the park is now let; existing customers include DP World and DHL.

The Company will deliver a 8,448 m2 build‑to‑suit warehouse for Volvo Group UK on a 4.7‑acre plot at the park entrance.

Kuehne + Nagel is advancing its digital capabilities in Contract Logistics through the evolution of KN SwiftLOG, its warehouse management system, into a cloud-native platform with agentic AI capabilities.

Spanning more than 1,000 sites in close to 100 countries, the deployment represents one of the most extensive transformations of warehouse operations in the logistics industry.

To support this transformation, the platform is built on Blue Yonder’s Warehouse Management Solution, part of the company’s Cognitive Solutions. This brings KN SwiftLOG into a unified, cloud-based environment while continuing as Kuehne + Nagel’s established warehouse management system.

The global roll-out began in April 2026 and is being implemented in phases to ensure continuity of service. As deployment progresses, it enables scaling across operations and helps manage increasing supply chain complexity and evolving customer requirements.

Evolving KN SwiftLOG into a cloud-native platform allows the 3PL to connect operations, data, and workflows more effectively across locations. As supply chains become more complex, improving efficiency remains a key driver for adopting cloud-based solutions. This shift supports consistent execution at scale and helps the Company respond more quickly to customer requirements, while maintaining reliable service delivery.

The platform lays the foundation for more efficient and coordinated operations across the network, connecting warehouse activities with data-driven insights and intelligent automation. This enables more accurate planning, clearer visibility, and faster responses to disruptions.

For customers, this translates to consistent execution across locations while maintaining the stable operations they experience today. Moving to a single cloud-based platform supports more standardised processes across sites, helping to align operations for customers served in multiple countries. The first customer deployment is planned to go live in Asia in July 2026.

Derstine’s Food Service Inc. has successfully expanded its temperature‑controlled warehouse capacity through its specialised cold‑storage and third‑party logistics division, EZ3PL, Inc. For the SAP EWM implementation at the new cold‑storage logistics centre at its headquarters in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, the Company relied on the expertise of KNAPP IT Solutions. As the SAP competence centre of the KNAPP Group, KNAPP IT Solutions extended the existing SAP EWM solution and rolled it out to the new facility, ensuring seamless and efficient control of all temperature‑controlled warehouse processes. The new system went live in July 2026.

EZ3PL, Inc., the cold‑storage and third‑party logistics division of the US full-line food distributor and 3PL provider Derstine’s Inc., has substantially expanded its storage capacity with a new cold storage logistics centre at its Sellersville headquarters. The new facility adds approximately 10,219 m2 of space designed specifically for cold‑chain operations, including advanced insulation, automated temperature control and efficient material‑flow processes. As in the existing warehouse with four temperature zones, SAP EWM manages all warehouse processes at the new site. For seamless integration with the current system landscape, Derstine’s relied on KNAPP’s long‑standing SAP expertise.

The Company has increased capacity from 2,000 to more than 15,000 pallet positions, an unprecedented growth of over 700.0% in the industry. With this investment, it is responding directly to the rising demand for temperature‑controlled storage and 3PL services.

Building on the existing SAP EWM system, KNAPP implemented and configured SAP EWM tailored to the new cold storage facility of EZ3PL Inc. In addition to several customer‑specific enhancements, including meat tempering, where meat is carefully raised from 0F up to 33F (approximately -18C to 0C) in as little as 14 hours, and repacked until each unit reaches 60 pounds (about 27 kg), special focus was placed on supporting multiple temperature zones, meeting stringent USDA inspection requirements, and enabling batch traceability along with comprehensive quality‑management functions.

The project was completed in an exceptionally short timeframe. Less than six months passed from project kick‑off to the successful go‑live in July 2026. With the fully integrated and scalable SAP EWM platform in operation, both warehouse locations are now seamlessly connected. This creates inventory transparency, boosts operational efficiency, and provides a stable foundation to sustainably meet growing demands in temperature-controlled logistics and 3PL operations.

Logistaas has expanded its transport management system (TMS) with the launch of Averroes AI, a new suite of artificial intelligence capabilities developed to help freight forwarders automate routine tasks, strengthen compliance, identify operational risks earlier, and make faster, better informed decisions.

Rather than offering AI as a separate application, Logistaas has embedded Averroes AI directly within its TMS, allowing users to access intelligent support as part of their existing workflows.

Averroes AI introduces five capabilities across freight forwarding operations, including: automated extraction of data from bills of lading, air waybills, and supplier invoices; shipment risk assessment that identifies potential issues before they escalate; compliance checks against a freight forwarder's own operating procedures; and an AI assistant that helps users navigate Logistaas features and workflows.

Today, Logistaas supports freight forwarders in more than 80 countries, with Averroes AI available across the platform.

Lufthansa Cargo has collaborated with WiseTech Global and IBS Software to implement the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) ONE Record unified data standard, successfully exchanging shipment records in a production environment. The initiative is one of the first large‑scale, multi‑stakeholder implementations of the standard.

Introduced by IATA in January 2026, ONE Record defines a common data model and secure API to enable easier, more transparent exchange of cargo data across stakeholders and data platforms. The collaboration demonstrated processing of Master Air Waybill data: a freight forwarder using WiseTech’s CargoWise platform executed shipment records at Master Air Waybill level that were received and processed in Lufthansa Cargo’s systems via an IBS ONE Record server.

The Companies said the standard allows freight data to be validated and processed within a party’s own systems before transport, supports a wider range of data and file formats than previously possible and provides visibility down to individual shipments. That transparency is intended to improve proactive management across the transport chain and to underpin further digital benefits, including AI‑powered services.

DP World has expanded its electric fleet at the Port of Santos with the arrival of 15 Internal Terminal Vehicles (ITVs) and three Reach Stackers, supporting terminal capacity while advancing the company’s decarbonisation strategy.

The new fleet of electric ITVs is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 500 tons when compared to conventional diesel-powered equipment. With this deployment, DP World becomes the first terminal at the Port of Santos to operate a fully electric Reach Stacker.

The new equipment forms part of DP World's ongoing BRL1.6 billion expansion of its Santos terminal, which will increase container handling capacity to 2.1 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) by 2028. In addition to boosting capacity, the modernisation programme is enhancing operational efficiency, reliability and service for customers as Brazil's trade volumes continue to grow.

This marks the first phase of a broader terminal modernisation initiative that will introduce a total of 44 electric ITVs. Later this year, DP World expects to receive two new quay cranes, each standing 56 meters high with a 77.5-meter outreach, equivalent to a 25-storey building, and six rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) capable of lifting up to 41 tons, followed by an additional two quay cranes and nine RTGs in early 2027. Together, the new equipment will further increase terminal capacity and improve productivity.

The investment also builds on DP World's extensive decarbonisation strategy in Brazil. The Company has already invested more than BRL100.0 million to electrify 22 RTGs at the Santos terminal. Between January and April of 2026, diesel consumption declined 29.2% compared with the 2024 average, reflecting the impact of ongoing fleet modernisation.

GEODIS’s Mass Balance mechanism has been recertified following a comprehensive audit. This certification confirms the reliability and traceability of the mechanism, which enables customers to receive an allocation of CO2 emission reductions based on a certified carbon accounting methodology.

Since 2024, GEODIS has implemented the Mass Balance mechanism across its European Road Network Line of Business. The mechanism enables customers to support the deployment of alternative energies within GEODIS’s network and receive an allocation of the corresponding CO2 emission reductions. It can also be applied when the direct use of alternative energies for a customer’s shipments is not operationally feasible due to constraints such as long transport distances without refuelling infrastructure, regulatory limitations, or limited charging availability. Through this mechanism, GEODIS leverages for the use of alternative energy sources across its network, including HVO, B100 and electricity, and allocates the corresponding CO2 emission reductions to customers subscribing to the Mass Balance offering.

The mechanism is an essential lever for supporting customers with an additional option to support their greenhouse gas emissions reduction objectives while supporting the deployment of alternative energy solutions across GEODIS’s road transport network.

The Mass Balance mechanism enables customers who are unable to decarbonise specific transport flows directly to support the use of alternative energy vehicles elsewhere within GEODIS’s network. In return, customers receive an allocation of the corresponding CO2 emission reductions based on the reduction level selected:

> - 60.0%
> - 82.0%
> - 90.0% compared with a diesel reference scenario

This flexibility is made possible by GEODIS’s diversified fleet, which relies on three alternatives to conventional diesel:

> HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), a renewable diesel substitute
> B100, a fuel made entirely from vegetable-based feedstock
> Electricity, a key driver of GEODIS’s road transport decarbonisation strategy

The mechanism provides full traceability of the alternative energy used and ensures that CO2 emission reductions are allocated in accordance with the certified Mass Balance mechanism. The methodology and carbon accounting process are independently verified each year to ensure transparency and credibility.

The Mass Balance mechanism offers customers:

> The ability to choose the level of allocated CO2 emission reductions that best aligns with their decarbonisation objectives
> Operational continuity without constraints related to transport distance, charging infrastructure or alternative fuel availability
> Reporting detailing the CO2 emission reductions allocated under the certified Mass Balance mechanism
> The possibility of activating the mechanism at any time, without operational impact

The mechanism is an important component of GEODIS’s decarbonisation strategy and will contribute to achieve the Group’s Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)-validated objectives: reducing greenhouse gas emissions from its owned fleet by 42.0% by 2030 and reducing the carbon intensity of subcontracted transport operations by 25.0%.

Samskip is taking another significant step towards the future of sustainable maritime transport by bringing its pioneering SeaShuttle project into the European HyShip initiative, strengthening collaboration to accelerate the development of liquid hydrogen infrastructure and support the commercial deployment of zero-emission shipping.

The collaboration connects Samskip's two hydrogen-powered SeaShuttle vessels, currently under construction for operation between Rotterdam and Oslo, with a consortium of leading European maritime, energy, research and regulatory partners working to develop the technologies, infrastructure and operational standards needed to scale hydrogen-powered shipping across Europe.

Unlike many demonstration projects, the Samskip SeaShuttles have always been designed with commercial operation in mind. Once introduced into service in 2027, the vessels will transport containerised freight between Rotterdam and Oslo using liquid hydrogen as energy source, creating one of Europe's first green shipping corridors. Each vessel is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 25,000 tonnes annually when operating in zero-emission mode, while demonstrating that sustainable shipping can become a practical reality for customers and supply chains.

The HyShip project addresses one of the industry's most important challenges: creating an end-to-end hydrogen ecosystem that connects fuel production, port infrastructure and vessel operations. This integrated approach is essential to making hydrogen-powered shipping commercially viable on a larger scale.

The Samskip SeaShuttles form an important part of Samskip's broader sustainability strategy, which combines one of Europe's most energy-efficient multimodal logistics networks with continued investment in alternative fuels and zero-emission technologies. Hydrogen-powered shipping represents a key milestone in delivering Samskip’s ambitions while helping customers reduce the environmental impact of their supply chains.

DP World’s Americas ocean freight division will invest US$1.0 million in Hapag-Lloyd's Ship Green product under a new agreement that will enable customers to reduce ocean freight shipment emissions through verified carbon insets. The investment, which will be made over the next four quarters, is expected to avoid 4,762 tonnes of CO2 using certified waste-based biofuels.

The investment will fund the use of certified waste-based biofuels in place of conventional marine fuels. These fuels can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 84.0% compared with conventional marine fuels.

The emissions savings are calculated on a well-to-wake basis, meaning they account for the full lifecycle of the fuel, from production to use onboard the vessel.

Unlike traditional carbon offsetting, which compensates for emissions after they occur, Hapag-Lloyd's Ship Green product enables carbon "insetting" - reducing emissions directly within the ocean freight supply chain. By replacing conventional marine fuels with certified waste-based biofuels, the product delivers measurable emissions reductions that are independently tracked and allocated to participating customer shipments.

Through this agreement, DP World will offer customers of its Americas ocean freight business verified carbon inset solutions that help reduce the emissions associated with their ocean freight shipments, supporting their broader supply chain decarbonisation goals.

This agreement reinforces DP World's commitment to advancing sustainable trade and expanding practical, customer-focused solutions that help accelerate decarbonisation across the global logistics value chain.

NewCold has commissioned an advanced battery energy storage system at its Global Innovation and Support Center (GISC) in Breda. The system was inaugurated during a working visit by the Netherlands' State Secretary for Climate and Green Growth, Mr J. de Bat.

The installation forms part of the Company’s strategy for smarter energy management as it electrifies operations and faces rising energy demand. Higher peak loads had increased pressure on local grid capacity in a region experiencing growing congestion, prompting the Company to seek a structural, future‑ready solution.

Developed in partnership with DENS, the battery system stores energy during periods of lower demand and supplies it at peak moments. This reduces peak loads, creates a more stable and predictable energy profile and enables more efficient use of available electricity. The system also supports greater use of on‑site renewable generation, including solar, and aims to relieve strain on the regional electricity grid in Breda.

The installation is seen as an example of combining technology and energy management to support growth, strengthen reliability and contribute to the energy transition.

Following commissioning, the battery system is expected to improve operational flexibility and allow the Company to grow while remaining within existing grid capacity. It also provides an additional buffer for supply reliability and planning in an increasingly complex energy landscape.

The project extends beyond the Company’s own site: by helping to alleviate local grid congestion, it contributes to a more stable and resilient regional energy system and illustrates how industry and government can collaborate on infrastructure and energy challenges. The initiative forms part of the Company’s broader, scalable energy strategy, which pairs battery storage with solar and combined heat and power solutions tailored to local conditions.

DP World has deployed 35 Electric Terminal Tractors (ETTs) at Jeddah Islamic Port’s South Container Terminal (SCT) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The addition increases the Company’s terminal tractor fleet by more than 20.0% and forms part of a long‑term US$800.0 million investment to modernise SCT, one of Saudi Arabia’s principal container gateways.

The new ETTs, which move containers between the quayside and the yard, are expected to reduce annual CO2 emissions from the terminal tractor fleet by around 20.0% compared with current levels while improving equipment availability and operational efficiency for customers across the terminal.

DP World KSA described the deployment as strengthening operational resilience, increasing equipment availability and contributing to the transformation of SCT into a future‑ready, lower‑carbon gateway for regional and global trade.

SCT covers nearly 1.0 million m2 and offers 2,150 metres of quay length across five container berths, with an operational depth of 18 metres capable of accommodating some of the world’s largest container vessels. The deployment follows the introduction of three semi‑automated quay cranes in March 2026, which increased the terminal’s ship‑to‑shore crane fleet to 17.

Electrified terminal equipment is central to the long‑term transformation strategy, with SCT targeting full electrification of its equipment by 2030 in alignment with DP World’s decarbonisation agenda and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions for a globally competitive logistics sector.

Statkraft and DHL Group have signed a ten‑year power purchase agreement (PPA) under which Statkraft will supply around 35 GWh of renewable electricity annually. The contract, which began in February, sources power from the newly commissioned Sollwitt‑Pobüll onshore wind park in Schleswig‑Holstein, which has an installed capacity of 13.2 MW and was commissioned in 2025.

The supply is expected to cover roughly 8.0% of the Company’s current electricity demand in Germany. As the Company’s first long‑term onshore wind PPA in Germany, the deal expands its renewable procurement beyond previously secured offshore PPAs and strengthens local supply resilience by sourcing power outside Germany’s EEG subsidy scheme.

The agreement is a step in DHL's decarbonisation strategy in Germany, supporting diversification of renewable sources, reducing the Company’s environmental footprint and contributing to the expansion of new renewable capacity.

For Statkraft, the Norwegian energy group, the PPA extends its tailored renewable solutions into the logistics sector and reinforces its position as a provider of long‑term PPA models offering price security and access to electricity from new wind projects.

The contract was signed with Deutsche Post AG, the German legal entity of DHL Group, and the renewable electricity will supply both Deutsche Post and DHL operations across Germany.
