DHL Middle East is to invest US$3 million in expanding its fleet of trucks serving the region.
The investment will initially increase the DHL fleet by 35 vehicles and also involves future plans to add another 15 vehicles. This will bring the company’s fleet total to 250 vehicles, which will be managed by the recently appointed Middle East road network manager, Darren Hague.
“Our business in the region has continued to grow significantly. The additional vehicles that we are investing in will provide us with the capacity to ensure that we are able to meet and exceed our customers’ time-definite, day-definite and customised express logistics solutions needs,” said Bachi Spiga, head of operations, DHL Middle East.
The expansion is a result of growing demand in the region and is expected to increase DHL’s capacity to 360 tons /1600 cubic metres per day from its current average of 200 tons / 900 cubic metres per day. Each vehicle will be DHL branded and employ GPS satellite tracking system technology.
“Express logistics today is about complete reliability and we are able to achieve this only by having a premium quality, state-of-the-art fleet of vehicles. This combined with teamwork, precision and dedication enables us to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations,” said Darren Hague, Middle East road network manager.
