TNT, the leading global provider of Express, Logistics, and Mail services has been chosen as the exclusive Service Provider by the first V8 Supercar Championship Series Event in Shanghai.

This month, TNT Express delivered 32 V8 Supercars as well as all parts and relevant equipment to Shanghai Pudong International Airport from Melbourne, Australia. TNT handled all aspects of transportation and coordinated with local providers to ensure that all Supercars arrived on time.

"We are very happy to participate in this international event. As the exclusive service provider, TNT will help V8 achieve its first success in China," said Mr. Bryan Chan, Managing Director of TNT International Express. "Through the integration of our air and road delivery networks, and also our in-depth experience in express transports and logistics, TNT expects more opportunities to provide professional logistics services for international events held in China." In automotive logistics, TNT's services include providing integrated services for finished car logistics, inbound logistics and parts logistics for leading auto producers, both nationally as well as internationally.

TNT Express is also active in designing, implementing and operating complex supply chain solutions for mid-size to large corporations in China. With a delivery network that covers over 500 cities, TNT offers a highly effective supply chain management system that allows Chinese enterprises to focus on core business, reduce management costs, and increase overall operational effectiveness and market competency.

TNT Express has received numerous awards for its outstanding services. Most recently, TNT China was honoured with the "Best Road Haulier Asia Award" given to TNT by the renown industry magazine CargoNews Asia.

Ranked as a Top 4 car-racing event in the world, it is the first time the V8 Supercar Championship Series has moved its entire operation for an overseas event, and is yet another prestigious international racing event to come to China, after F1. Shanghai is the fifth stop in this year's V8 Supercar Championship Series.
