DANX has relocated its Stockholm distribution hub to a new, larger facility to reduce goods’ handling times, increase the volume of cargo it handles, and meet the demands of its sustainability policy.
Equipped with chargers for electric delivery vehicles, including heavy trucks, and connected to a district heating network delivering clean heat, the new distribution hub will help to reduce the businesses’ carbon footprint and match its environmental, social and governance (ESG) ambitions.
“Following a period of strong market growth, DANX is now investing in our network infrastructure across Sweden to future-proof our business and further reduce delivery times,” said Martin Grauers, Managing Director, Sweden.
“Our new Kungens Kurva hub will ensure DANX can not only handle a greater number of time-critical deliveries at an even faster speed, but that we do so more sustainably.
“With our new fleet of Duo trailers and continued investment in biofuels and electric vehicles across the business, DANX stands ready to match our environmental ambitions with the action needed to deliver them.” The site is 60 percent larger than the current facility, with eight loading gates for heavy goods vehicles, and ten for smaller delivery trucks – double the number at the current facility.
Strategically located near the E4 and E20 highways, as well as the Förbifart Stockholm bypass, Kungens Kurva will also act as a field stocking location with pick-up/drop-off (PUDO) facilities on site, allowing for faster handling of spare parts and customers’ inventory items in greater volumes.
Work is underway to relocate operations from the old terminal in Stockholm and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Full-service logistics specialist, TLS, which was acquired by DANX earlier this year, is also relocating its Stockholm operation to the new hub.
