DHL Global Forwarding has launched a new global expedited airfreight service for urgent delivery of spare parts, critical medical supplies, or newly launched products, the company said in a statement.
The third-party logistics and freight forwarding arm of the Deutsche Post DHL Group’s SameDay Speedline product is aimed at multiple industry sectors, including aerospace and aviation, automotive, electronics, energy, and life sciences. The service offers 24/7/365 pickup and delivery, price quotations within 60 minutes, parcel collection within 120 minutes, and proactive monitoring from origin to destination, the company said.
The DHL SameDay Speedline network includes more than 50 stations worldwide and the company said it expects the network to grow given increased customer demand.
