Global transport and logistics provider, Geodis, has launched a new road transport service to support the movement of goods across southern Africa.
The cross-border trucking service offers fast, flexible, and reliable connections from South Africa to ten countries in the region – Angola (Luanda), Botswana (Gaborone), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Lubumbashi), Eswatini (Mbabane), Lesotho (Maseru), Malawi (Blantyre and Lilongwe), Mozambique (Maputo), Namibia (Windhoek), Zambia (Lusaka and Ndola), and Zimbabwe (Harare and Bulawayo).
The groundbreaking service is centred on Geodis’s Johannesburg operational hub and is designed to streamline cross-border logistics for businesses dealing in either full truckload (FTL) or less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments.
The Johannesburg hub serves as a strategic gateway for the distribution of a wide range of commodities, providing a range of options, including predefined transit schedules, scalable capacity, and tailored routing to meet individual customer needs.
“Cross-border logistics in Africa often comes with challenges. With this new service, we aim to offer our customers a seamless flow of cargo from origin to destination, backed by our regional expertise and reliable infrastructure,” said Geodis South Africa, Managing Director, Cobus Fourie.
The new service strengthens Geodis’s footprint in Africa, affirming its aim to facilitate trade and economic development throughout the region.
Geodis sees this commitment to the African market as offering practical, end-to-end logistics solutions that improve the region’s supply chain performance.
