XPO Introduces Connect Europe to Streamline Cross-Border Logistics Solutions
The service provides a single point of contact, simplifying cross-border logistics for companies of all sizes.
XPO, a leading provider of innovative and sustainable logistics solutions across Europe, has introduced Connect Europe, a new platform designed to streamline shipment management across 25 European countries, handling everything from single pallets to full loads.
This launch marks a significant advancement in XPO’s commitment to cutting-edge solutions and high-quality operations, addressing present logistics challenges as it stays ahead of future logistics needs across the continent.
Connect Europe aims to simplify global freight shipping for businesses of all sizes, making it more accessible in today’s increasingly complex logistics environment.
The platform streamlines operations by providing a single point of contact, reducing intermediaries, and leveraging XPO’s robust network of over 150 distribution centers, 8,000 trucks, and 12,000 trailers across Europe. Handling over 60,000 pallets daily, Connect Europe ensures efficient and reliable service for shipments ranging from single pallets to full truckloads, drawing on XPO’s decades of expertise in international transport.
We recognise that it is imperative for companies to rethink logistics to successfully manage unprecedented volume volatility. Disruptions such as Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, the sea freight crisis and, more recently, the need for businesses to adapt to an inflationary environment have all accelerated the nearshoring of production chains to Europe and North Africa while forcing the redefinition of continental supply chains.” said Emmanuel Arnaud, Senior Vice President of Operations at XPO Logistics Europe.
Connect Europe also prioritizes sustainability as a core focus by offering customers the opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint through the use of alternative fuels such as HVO, biogas, and electricity. This effort is part of XPO’s Low Emissions Sustainable Solution (LESS) program, which is dedicated to lowering carbon emissions in logistics operations and promoting greener transportation alternatives.
“As we face unprecedented logistics challenges, Connect Europe is helping businesses adapt and thrive in terms of speed, traceability, and sustainability. We are simplifying and optimizing international transport to facilitate our customers’ growth objectives. With integrated resources and processes and our advanced digital platform, XPO is transforming cross-border logistics throughout Europe.” Said Arron Kendall, Senior Vice President of Sales and marketing for Europe at XPO Logistics.
