International trade with DHL Express Vietnam’s Hanoi gateway

Vietnam's thriving export industry, supported by numerous free trade agreements, benefits immensely from robust infrastructure and logistics capabilities to sustain and advance its momentum. For this reason, DHL Express Vietnam's newly expanded Hanoi Gateway represents a critical development in further enhancing Vietnam's trade productivity.

The expanded Hanoi Gateway, now double the size of its predecessor, spans an impressive 4,500 square metres. This increase in space quadruples the facility’s peak handling capacity, allowing DHL Express Vietnam to manage a significantly higher volume of shipments. 

For businesses, this translates to reduced delays and more efficient processing and shipping of goods. The larger space also facilitates better organisation and storage, enhancing overall operational capabilities.

Furthermore, the new Hanoi Gateway plays a vital role in the DHL Express Vietnam's network by complementing the existing infrastructure in Ho Chi Minh City and other parts of Vietnam. For instance:

• The Hanoi Gateway handles shipments primarily from northern Vietnam, while the facility in Ho Chi Minh City manages those from the south. This division of labour ensures that shipments are processed and dispatched more efficiently across the country.
• By distributing the workload between these two key locations, DHL Express Vietnam can reduce congestion and delays, leading to faster and more reliable delivery times.
• Both gateways are integrated into DHL Express Vietnam’s national and international networks, allowing for seamless movement of goods. Shipments can be rerouted between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City based on capacity and demand, providing flexibility and improving reliability.
• The Hanoi Gateway’s proximity to Noi Bai International Airport enables quicker international shipping from Vietnam. At the same time, the Ho Chi Minh City Gateway, near Tan Son Nhat International Airport, does the same in the south. This strategic placement ensures efficient handling of both regional and international shipments.

Overall, this expansion of the new Hanoi Gateway spotlights DHL Express Vietnam's commitment to supporting Vietnam's export growth and ensures that countries and businesses trading with Vietnam benefit from more reliable and effective logistics services.

DHL Express Vietnam’s commitment to sustainability

Beyond enhancing logistics infrastructure, DHL Express Vietnam also prioritises integrating eco-friendly business practices across all operations. This commitment to sustainability is evident in the design and operations of the new Hanoi Gateway.

One of the standout sustainable features of the new facility is its 275 solar panels installed on the roof. These panels harness solar energy to generate approximately 120 kWh per hour, which is then used to power the facility. This not only reduces reliance on non-renewable energy sources but also helps in cutting down electricity costs. 

Over a year, these solar panels help reduce carbon emissions by about 70 tons, demonstrating a tangible commitment to reducing environmental impact.

In addition to solar power, the Hanoi Gateway uses high-efficiency IE3 motors for its conveyors. These motors are designed to operate with minimal energy loss, making them more efficient than standard motors. This efficiency translates into lower energy consumption and operational costs.

The facility’s building management system is another critical component of DHL Express Vietnam’s sustainability efforts. It includes 100% LED lighting, which consumes less power and has a longer lifespan compared to traditional lighting solutions. 

Moreover, the green air-conditioning systems utilise variable refrigerant volume technology, which adjusts the cooling capacity based on the specific needs of different areas within the facility, thereby reducing energy waste.

By boosting operational efficiency while minimising greenhouse gas emissions, DHL Express Vietnam is able to make significant strides towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, as well as align with the country’s sustainable development goals.
