rear cameras at this year’s CV Show.
The F800 dashcam incorporates Super Night Vision 2.0 combined

Kerry Logistics has announced the launch of its
weekly scheduled Less Than Container Load

Germany and Shanghai via the Yiwu terminal

consolidation containers.
This additional service option for East- and
Westbound shipments enhances Kerry Logistics’
existing Full Container Load (FCL) and LCL services,
offering a transit time of 16 days for Westbound
cargo, and 21 days Eastbound. Shipments have
already been successfully moved using the new

upstream services, including storage, quality control, assembly and
rework, in addition to pre-carriage and delivery to
final destination.

Europe of Kerry Logistics, declared: “Our proven
track record and unparalleled service network in
Asia, together with our local expertise throughout
Europe, promise that we can now offer our
customers a flexible, cost-effective solution on this
route – for cargoes from industrial freight down to
smaller e-commerce commodities.
“Acting as the consolidator ourselves allows us to
offer shorter lead-times, moving each shipment
faster than if we had to wait for a full container
from each customer, who can monitor their cargo
along the route via online track-and-trace.”
