DHL Freight, one of the leading providers of road freight services in Europe, is launching a global Lead Logistics Provider (LLP) service under the new product name GreenLink. GreenLink will consolidate DHL Freight�s current and future LLP accounts across the world, leveraging the expertise from dozens of customers on three continents.

�DHL Freight already has a best-in-class LLP product portfolio with the global backing and know-how that only one of the leading logistics companies in the world can provide. Bringing them all together under one, neutral GreenLink name will allow us to marry the global know-how with the local teams that understand their respective markets and customer requirements. This allows DHL Freight to offer a unique LLP service in the market place that is second to none�, said Amadou Diallo, CEO of DHL Freight.

LLP is the complete management and physical execution of DHL Freight customers� logistics processes and transportation requirements. It improves customers� supply chains by providing logistics optimization and transportation requirements tailored to specific customer needs through reduced lead times, improved cash flow, and compliance. It utilizes a stringent due diligence process in collaboration with the customer to determine if there is potential for optimization. Savings often range in the double-digit percentage points over the course of the contract. As a natural result of this process, customers also benefit from an improved carbon footprint, as transport routes will be optimized.
