NX Vietnam Enhances Rail Freight Services With Consolidation For Small-lot Shipments

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 7 (Bernama) -- Nippon Express (Vietnam) Co Ltd (NX Vietnam) has commenced a consolidation service to enhance its rail freight services on Vietnam's North-South Railway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

As logistics needs become more diversified and sophisticated in line with the rapid growth of the Vietnamese economy, demand is on the rise for a north-south logistics network to serve as a key route between manufacturing bases and consumption centres.

To address this need, NX Vietnam, a group company of Nippon Express Holdings Inc, has launched a rail transport service in June 2024, reducing transit time between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (approximately 1,700 kilometres) in about 48 hours.

According to a statement, this service has been well received by many customers as a high-quality service that helps reduce the environmental impact of logistics.

NX Vietnam has now launched a Less than Container Load (LCL) service to supplement its existing Full Container Load (FCL) service, utilising its own warehouses as incoming/outgoing container freight stations (CFSs). Loading and unloading of containers will be performed in-house to ensure high-quality service.

This approach enables efficient and sustainable transport of smaller quantities of cargo that do not fill a single container and provides more customers with flexible and cost-effective logistics solutions.
