DHL推出连接五大亚洲
国家一体化公路货运网络
欧洲与亚洲领先的海陆空货运服务商--DHL全球 货运宣布推出连接新加坡、槟城、曼谷、河 内和深圳这五大亚洲城市的一体化公路货运 网络。DHL全球货运看准了亚太地区公路货运事业的加速 发展，因而推出这项新服务。该行业2014至2019年的复 合年增长率预计将达到8.3%，到2019年底，亚太地区公 路货运部门的产值预计将被推升到8220亿美元(7570亿 欧元)。
这项连通五大城市的服务通过DHLAsiaConnect的零担货 运(LTL)服务提供，能够凭借更短的时间和更高的成本 效率，带来无缝的互联运送，无论目的地是何处都能确 保高水平的服务。DHLAsiaConnect于2011年推出，当时 是连接新加坡、马来西亚和泰国，现在则连接上了现有 的越南-中国线路。
公路货运为其它运输方式提供了一种可行的替代方案， 能够带来比空运更加实惠的选择，运货速度也比海运要 快。例如，完成深圳和曼谷之间的海运需要13天左右， 但是公路货运只需5天。相比之下，空运花费时间更短， 只需4天，但成本要高得多。五大城市每天都有运货汽车 发出，运输时间的样板如下:
●新加坡至槟城:1天 ●曼谷至河内:3天 ●深圳至河内:2天 ●深圳至曼谷:5天 ●槟城至深圳:6天
“DHL全球货运亚太区首席执行员梁启元表示:“DHL的 一体化公路货运网络覆盖五个至关重要的亚洲市场--新 加坡、马来西亚、泰国、越南和中国--这些市场有望在 中国的‘一带一路’和东盟经济共同体等亚洲地区其 它计划中发挥突出作用。在整个亚洲地区，东盟十国的 GDP(国内生产总值)总和在2013年达到2.4万亿美元 (2.2万亿欧元)，而中国一国的GDP就在2014年达到了 10.3万亿美元[3](9.5万亿欧元)。东盟的全球对外贸 易额在2013年达到2.51万亿美元(2.31万亿欧元)，中 国则一直都是东盟成员国的五大贸易伙伴之一。我们深 信，亚洲内部贸易将会继续发展，而我们的公路货运网 络随时准备支持由这些计划带来的潜在贸易扩张。”

DHL Rolls Out Integrated Freight Network to Link Five Asian Countries
DHL Global Forwarding, a leading provider of air, sea and road freight services in Europe and Asia, has rolled out an integrated road freight network that links five key Asian cities -- Singapore, Penang, Bangkok, Hanoi and Shenzhen. The new service taps the accelera- tion of road freight growth in Asia Pacific which is forecast at an anticipated compound annual growth rate of 8.3% from 2014-2019 and expected to drive the sector to a value of US$822 billion (EUR757 billion) by the end of 2019. Deliv- ered under DHL AsiaConnect's Less-than-Truckload (LTL) service, the interconnecting five-city service offers a seam- less interconnecting delivery service with improved time and cost efficiencies and assures a consistent level of service quality regardless of the destination. DHL AsiaConnect was launched in 2011 connecting Singapore, Malaysia and Thai- land and now links to the existing Vietnam-China connec- tion.
Road freight offers a viable alternative to other transporta- tion modes, providing a more cost-effective option than air freight as well as faster shipment than sea freight. For in- stance, the transit time for ocean freight between Shenzhen and Bangkok takes around 13 days while the road freight option only takes five days. In comparison, air freight takes a shorter transit time of four days but will cost significantly more. There are daily departures from five cities and a sam- ple of the transit time is as follows:
• Singapore to Penang: One day
• Bangkok to Hanoi: Three days
• Shenzhen to Hanoi: Two days
• Shenzhen to Bangkok: Five days
• Penang to Shenzhen: Six days
"DHL's integrated road freight network touches five crucial Asian markets -- Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and China -- which are expected to play prominent roles in China's 'One Belt, One Road' and other initiatives in the re- gion such as the ASEAN Economic Community," said Kelvin Leung, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding Asia Pacific. "Across the region, the total GDP of all 10 ASEAN countries combined was US$2.4 trillion in 2013 while China's GDP alone was US$10.3 trillion in 2014. ASEAN's global trade hit US$2.51 trillion in 2013 and China consistently appears among the top five trade partners for ASEAN members. We are confident that intra-Asia trade will continue to grow and our road freight network stands ready to support the potential trade expan- sion from these initiatives."
