Kuehne+Nagel Launches New Direct Line Hauls Between Türkiye and Europe to Strengthen Overland Groupage Network
Kuehne+Nagel[1] has expanded its European road logistics network with the launch of new direct line haul services connecting Turkiye to key markets across the EU, addressing growing demand for faster, more reliable overland transport as Turkiye's role in regional supply chains continues to expand. Driven by accelerating nearshoring trends and deepening EU-Turkiye trade integration, Kuehne+Nagel has introduced four new dedicated direct routes, operating with multiple departures per week and providing comprehensive pan-European coverage. The new services leverage Kuehne+Nagel's existing cross-docking hubs in Austria, Germany, and France, optimizing transit times and offering competitive lead times for businesses managing growing intra-regional trade flows.
"As trade relations between Turkiye and Europe continue to strengthen, businesses increasingly require consistent, fast, and fully integrated road freight options," said Ali Bener, Head of Road Logistics for the Middle East and Africa at Kuehne+Nagel. "Our expanded network with additional line hauls and pan-European reach allows us to serve customers with consolidated multi-destination flows while reducing lead times and improving supply chain predictability." The expansion is particularly aimed at supporting industries shifting production and sourcing to Turkiye amid ongoing supply chain diversification across sectors such as automotive, consumer goods, machinery, and textiles, many of which rely on time-sensitive short-haul road freight to balance inventory across European markets. In addition to the physical network upgrades, the new services are fully integrated into Kuehne+Nagel's myKN digital platform, providing customers with real-time shipment visibility, online booking capabilities, and centralized management of multi-country freight flows -- features increasingly sought after by shippers consolidating their European ground logistics under single-provider models.
Kuehne+Nagel's investment in Turkiye-Europe connectivity reflects broader momentum in regional overland logistics, where shorter transit corridors, regulatory alignment with EU customs protocols, and expanding infrastructure projects are driving strong volume growth. As Turkiye continues to emerge as a strategic manufacturing base for Europe, logistics providers are scaling up cross-border capacity to support resilient supply chains and flexible sourcing models across the continent. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????
