TNT and Con-way Freight Expand Joint Intercontinental Service Offering
Companies Announce Accelerated Door-to-Door Solution for Heavy Freight Shipments from the USA to Europe
ANN ARBOR, Mich., and AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - March 29, 2010
TNT and Con-way Freight (NYSE: CNW) today announced a new export service as an expansion of their existing relationship. The intercontinental accelerated service will feature a day-definite, road/air/road USA-to-Europe solution for heavier freight shipments. The new offering will complement the intercontinental import service the two companies launched as part of their commercial alliance back in April 2009.
As part of the USA-to-Europe service, Con-way Freight will manage the pickup of U.S. shipments, followed by consolidation and loading to direct air cargo service from New York’s JFK International Airport to Europe. Upon arrival in Europe, TNT will manage customs clearance and deconsolidation at LiègeAirport in Belgium. Shipments will then enter TNT’s integrated air and road network for delivery to their final destinations in Europe. Transit times from JFK Airport to final destinations in Europe will typically range from three to six days.
“With the expansion of our joint offering, we now provide customers in both the USA and Europe with fast, reliable intercontinental shipping. This is made possible thanks to the unique combination of TNT and Con-way Freight’s combined networks,” said Matt McDonough, president of North America, TNT. “U.S. customers looking for a reliable solution to handle their export business to Europe now have a faster and more cost-effective option for their freight shipments.”
The commercial alliance between TNT and Con-way Freight offers both companies the opportunity to leverage their brands into expanded international offerings using the extensive networks of Con-way Freight in the USA, and TNT across 200 countries throughout the world.
“Our alliance with TNT allows us to provide fast, reliable intercontinental service to meet the growing international shipping needs of our customers, which is increasingly important in today’s global economy,” said John G. Labrie, president, Con-way Freight. “With this expansion of our Global LTLTM suite of services, shippers will again benefit from a dependable solution that will enable them to reduce costs, shorten lead times and speed product to market. We are very pleased to offer this solution with such a successful and respected provider of global transportation services.”
TNT and Con-way Freight maintain two of the industry’s most efficient and extensive networks in the territories they serve. TNT operates Europe’s largest road express network, providing service through 414 depots across 39 European countries. Con-way Freight runs a system of more than 300 service centers across North America, recently optimized to cut transit times by a day to 460 U.S. destinations. Combining the two consistent, reliable companies’ networks in a road/air/road service for heavier freight (more than 70 kg or 150 lbs) offers shippers a unique option to gain competitive advantage in the marketplace.
The expanded alliance with TNT announced today also enables Con-way Freight to continue to grow its suite of international services. In addition to service to and from Europe with TNT, the company’s Global LTL offerings include:
Service from Asia to the USA, Canada and Mexico with OceanGuaranteed®
Service from the USA to the Caribbean with TropicalDirectSM
Domestic offshore service to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico
