Global express delivery company TNT has announced the commencement of a scheduled road throughout its six-nation road network in Asia.  The network, which is based out of china stretches out and across 5,000 km with stops in over 125 cities in Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Laos.

Connecting to TNT’s international express network at Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, TNT’s Asia Road Network also enables connections to within the Chinese domestic network. 

Welcoming the start of services from China to destinations on the Asia Road Network, the Group Managing Director of TNT’s Express division, Marie-Christine Lombard, said that "China is a very important market for TNT’s strategic growth in the region; similarly, the Chinese market is also integral to many of our regional and global clients."

Having been driven by customer demand according to Ms Lombard, the Chinese extension to TNT’s Asia road network reflects the ability of the road network to deliver freight in the region up to three times faster than sea freight and up to 30 percent cheaper than air freight.

According to TNT, the Asia Road Network will serve as a strategic initiative to further strengthen the company’s position in China and the rest of Asia.
