的国际快递服务提供商DHL Express在巴黎戴高乐机场开设了新的国际枢纽。DHL在新地点投资了1.7亿欧元，比之前的地点大十倍。这是DHL Express近年来在欧洲的Zui大投资，也是自1976年抵达法国以来在法国的Zui大投资。该设施将加强DHL在法国的立足点，过去六年中，DHL还在法国的基础设施上投资了8000万欧元。凭借坚实的网络和下一代基础设施，DHL拥有所有工具，可以通过缩短交货时间、加强包裹跟踪和安全以及进一步改善员工的工作条件来支持和提前规划全球贸易的增长。
DHL Express首席执行官John Pearson解释说：“位于巴黎戴高乐机场的DHL Express枢纽将在我们的国际网络中发挥关键作用。就规模和包裹处理量而言，这是我们欧洲网络中第四大枢纽，仅次于莱比锡、东米德兰兹和布鲁塞尔。它是我们在世界各地的23个中心之一，其中12个在欧洲。新设施是实现我们使命的又一步：连接人们，改善生活。我们在xinguan肺炎危机期间发挥了决定性作用。即使在疫情Zui严重的时候，我们也设法保持了国家之间的联系，以确保全球贸易。我们的灵活性，加上我们全球网络的力量和团队的承诺，使我们能够向160多个国家提供超过10亿剂xinguan肺炎疫苗。凭借巴黎戴高乐机场安装的超现代基础设施以及我们在全球220个国家的业务，我们拥有应对日益互联的世界的新挑战所需的所有工具。
Both in France and the rest of the world, the growth in parcel shipments linked to e-commerce has considerably accelerated due to Covid-19 and is continuing at a very sustained pace in 2021. In 2020, e-commerce enabled DHL Express France to grow its volume by about eight percent compared to 2019. With the recovery of trade for its long-standing B2B customers, activity at DHL Express is intensifying in 2021.
Extraordinary processing capacities and 239 jobs created
The new facility's ultramodern sorting system alone represents a €45 million investment. Its processing capacity is 38,000 pieces (parcels and flyers) per hour, 15 times more than the previous facility. Nearly 720 employees, including almost 239 new recruits, will be running the 32,000 m2 centre around the clock. For customers in the Paris region, this new Paris-Charles de Gaulle location already means a substantial one-hour time saving on their deliveries and pick-ups.
The hub is located in a 91,000 m2 space, the equivalent of 13 football fields. The construction work, which began in March 2020, took 20 months. Now up and running, the location is sized to absorb the growth of the next 10 years, with an option for further expansion.
Philippe Prétat, CEO DHL Express France, added: “The hub is a nerve centre for our network in France, but also in Europe. This new location comes at the right time, as e-commerce is booming. The trend was already under way, but has accelerated with the Covid-19 pandemic and looks set to continue. We are here to support this unprecedented growth. I am proud that the 3,350 DHL Express employees in France can count on next-generation infrastructure which is up to the challenges. DHL Express will support all those who want to trade under the best conditions with the rest of the world. The consolidation of our network will benefit our long-standing business as well as individual customers.”
