GEODIS has introduced a new cross-border road transport service connecting South Africa to 10 countries across Southern Africa, enhancing regional logistics for businesses.
Operational since July, the service offers fast, flexible, and reliable freight solutions from its hub in Johannesburg.
The new network connects South Africa with Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Key cities include Luanda, Gaborone, Lubumbashi, Mbabane, Maseru, Blantyre, Lilongwe, Maputo, Windhoek, Lusaka, Ndola, Harare, and Bulawayo.
Centred on Johannesburg, the service is designed to streamline cross-border movements for both full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) cargo.
It offers predefined transit schedules, scalable capacity, and customised routing to meet varied customer needs.
Cobus Fourie, Managing Director at GEODIS in South Africa, said: “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.”
The initiative strengthens GEODIS’ presence in Africa and supports trade and economic development by providing end-to-end logistics solutions tailored to regional supply chain requirements.
In January, GEODIS appointed Marc Vollet as Executive Vice-President of its European Road Network Line of Business.
