Logistics provider Rhenus Group has announced plans to expand its road freight operations across Asia-Pacific as demand for road freight services rises in the region, according to reporting in Asia News Network.

As part of its broader regional growth strategy, the company is strengthening cross-border trucking across Southeast Asia and key corridors between Greater China and Southeast Asia. The expansion includes integrating road with air and ocean freight whilst scaling local distribution, sourcing and leveraging existing free trade zone warehousing capabilities.

Rhenus is investing in local capabilities to support individual market needs including the recent establishment of its Bukit Kayu Hitam border office in Malaysia, with full customs capabilities to support smoother cross-border movements.

Regional Director of Cross Border Trucking Asia Prem Anand Anandaverl stated: "Our goal is to provide a seamless connectivity to the global network by reinforcing a comprehensive road freight service and continue to help businesses to move their goods across Asia efficiently and compliantly. Road Freight is playing an increasingly important role in building a resilient supply chain especially in this region."

The global freight trucking market size is projected to be valued at $2.74 trillion (€2.3 trillion) in 2025 and is set to reach $3.70 trillion (€3.1 trillion) by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 3.9 per cent. Asia-Pacific remains a key growth driver, supported by expanding industrial output, a large consumer base and rapidly developing logistics infrastructure enabling both domestic and cross-border trade.

With more than 150 owned and partner road freight locations in Europe, Rhenus currently operates in over 15 countries through a well-established network.
