In an effort to promote technology-driven logistics in India, Deutsche Post DHL Group (DPDHL) has launched DHL SmarTrucking aimed at fast and consistent transportation. We spoke to Mr. Neeraj Bansal, CEO, DHL SmarTrucking, to understand more about the initiative.
Excerpts:
Give us an insight into the genesis of DHL Smart rucking? How do you plan to champion the cause of Technology for Logistics (TechLog) in India, while the parent company DHL, with its existing footprint in the country, is more or less in the same line?
The Indian logistics sector is at a very interesting stage right now. On the one hand, there are some great initiatives that are creating immense growth potential in the sector, while, on the other, constraints continue to exist that are putting the brakes on this growth. At DHL SmarTrucking, we are determined to bridge this gap and increase the trust quotient in the logistics industry in India.
The DPDHL Group has been in the logistics space for a very long time, and we are amply supported by a global skilled and knowledgeable team that we are able to leverage to enhance our offerings to our customers. This heritage as one of the world’s leading logistics providers with around four decades of India experience gives us an advantage when it comes to understanding the Indian customer and the logistics landscape.
Our vision is to become leaders in the TechLog – technology-enabled logistics space – and to be agile in our offerings. DHL SmarTrucking is committed to pioneering TechLog, or technology-driven logistics in India. With this launch, we aim to revolutionize the Indian trucking industry by bringing together technology with global and local expertise.
Take us through the company’s differentiated offerings that establishes it into a reliable player in the Indian Logistics Space.
