XPO Logistics launches Connect Europe 

CONNECT EUROPE consolidates companies' international shipping needs using a single point of contact, reducing intermediaries and the administrative and operational complexities associated with international transport. The goal is to make international freight shipments more accessible to all types and sizes of companies operating in an increasingly complex cross-border environment.  

XPO Logistics senior vice president operations – Europe Emmanuel Arnaud, says: "We recognise that it is imperative for companies to rethink logistics to successfully manage unprecedented volume volatility. Disruptions such as Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic, the sea freight crisis and, more recently, the need for businesses to adapt to an inflationary environment have all accelerated the nearshoring of production chains to Europe and North Africa while forcing the redefinition of continental supply chains.”
