DUTCH express integrator TNT plans to make a further EUR4.5 million (US$5.5 million) investment in its Asia Road Network (ARN), which currently serves seven countries and 127 cities in South East Asia and South China.

This brings the total investment to date in the fully integrated ARN to more than EUR12.5 million, the company said in a statement.

Most of the new investment will be used to acquire a fleet of trucks specially designed to suit pan-Asian routes. The 41-foot trucks and trailers are larger and more environmentally friendly than their predecessors.
