Kuehne+Nagel expands Türkiye-Europe road logistics for faster trade

Kuehne+Nagel has announced the expansion of its groupage network with new direct line hauls between Türkiye and Europe, improving trade flow efficiency and reducing transit times. As Türkiye strengthens its role as a major trade partner with the European Union, the demand for reliable road logistics continues to rise.

To meet this growing demand, Kuehne+Nagel has introduced four direct line haul routes connecting Türkiye with key European destinations. These routes feature multiple departures per week and leverage strategic cross-docking hubs in Austria, Germany, and France. This setup ensures optimal connectivity, allowing for improved logistics efficiency and competitive lead times.

Ali Bener, Head of Road Logistics for the Middle East and Africa at Kuehne+Nagel, highlighted the significance of this expansion: "As trade relations between Türkiye and Europe grow, businesses need reliable and fast road freight services. Our new setup with additional line hauls, improved lead times, and pan-European coverage will particularly benefit customers with flows from Türkiye to multiple European destinations."

A key advantage of Kuehne+Nagel’s enhanced network is the inclusion of its digital self-service platform, myKN. This platform enables customers to access real-time shipment visibility and manage their bookings efficiently, streamlining the logistics process. By offering a single integrated solution for businesses operating between Türkiye and Europe, Kuehne+Nagel aims to simplify supply chain management and provide seamless logistics support.

As one of the world’s leading logistics providers, Kuehne+Nagel operates in nearly 100 countries with a workforce of over 80,000 employees. The company is committed to sustainable logistics, aligning with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) to reduce its environmental footprint while providing low-carbon logistics solutions to customers worldwide.

The introduction of these new direct routes marks a strategic move in strengthening Türkiye-Europe trade connectivity. By enhancing road logistics infrastructure, Kuehne+Nagel continues to play a crucial role in facilitating international commerce and ensuring reliable transport solutions for businesses engaged in cross-border trade.
