Daily Logistics Group is a leading logistics company specialising in multimodal conditioned transport across Europe. As a logistics partner, we work day and night to make all your transport operations run smoothly. Whatever happens: We deliver.

One day in 1997 Adrie Visbeen and Dirk Post met at a party of Stena Line. It was thanks to their wifes that they decided to start a collaboration and in May 1998 the Dailyfresh operation in Poeldijk was born. Soon it became a great success in both NL and the UK and they received the “Anglo Dutch Award for Enterprise”, which is awarded to a British or Dutch company that has performed particularly well commercially and organizationally.

This year, Dailyfresh celebrates its 25th anniversary. In the past years we moved a total of 5 times before we settled in our beautiful brand-new warehouse in Maasdijk.

And after all we can be extremely proud that at the time of writing this newsletter, DLG Dailyfresh is breaking record after record with the volumes going through the new cross-dock center!

Due to renovation work of the Haringvliet Bridge and the Heinenoord tunnel, the A29 will be closed from Friday 9 June to Friday 1 September to all traffic. During the work, traffic will be diverted via the A59, A17 and A16 and via the N57 and A15.

Every day, around 66,000 vehicles cross the Haringvliet Bridge. If these vehicles all opt for the diversion routes, long traffic jams can arise during the morning and evening rush hours. Drivers must then take into account an extra travel time that, especially during rush hours, can amount to more than one hour.

Also DLG trucks will be confronted with delays and extra kilometers due to detours, due to road closures and traffic jams. Depending on the severity of the extra travel time and distance, there is a possibility this will result in delays which will extend the lead time and extra costs.

In April, the UK published a draft version of the Target Operating Model. The introduction of this model in 3 phases will have a significant impact on the flow of goods to the UK. 

The main changes are:

• From October 2023, medium risk products are subject to phyto/health certification
• From January 2024, the Border Control Posts will be used for physical checks at the border.
• Further Safety and Security measures will follow at the end of next year.

Changes will also take place with a Trusted Trader scheme, PEACH & IPAFFS, E-phyto, simplified health certification and the percentage of checks per product.

DLG informed you about these changes in a separate newsletter at the beginning of May. We will of course share further developments with you after publication of the final version of TOM.

Now is the time to start preparing! For the necessary information about the regulations or possible solutions, please contact us at brexit@dlg-logistics.com

The German Maut will go up fast this year. German government has approved the doubling of the rates as of 1 December 2023. This means carriers can expect an extra Maut of 20 cents per kilometer for a 40-tonne Euro-6 truck, on top of the current rate of 19 cents per kilometer.

In addition to the CO2 surcharge, the toll limit for trucks will also be reduced from 7.5 tonnes to 3.5 tonnes as of 1 June 2024. Zero-emission trucks will be exempt from the CO2 tax until the end of 2025, after this date they will pay 25% of the regular rate for infrastructure costs and noise and air pollution. 

The new law must be approved by the German parliament this year. Unfortunately, this will also affect our rates for Germany.

With a goal of net zero emissions by year 2050, the European Union is expanding the use of ETS to include the shipping industry. As from 1 January 2024, ferry operators will start paying for carbon emission. Off course we are fully committed to support EU’s ambitions with carbon neutral energy sources and sustainable solutions across all operations, but unfortunately this will also affect our rates.

This means we will introduce a surcharge towards all customers. This surcharge will be specified towards customers for best transparency. As the launch of ETS approaches, more details will become available from the EU and DLG will gradually inform customers regarding the anticipated effects.

As of July 3, 2023, the Cornelissen Group will take over the floriculture DC in Bleiswijk with VAL activities and the employees involved from Daily Logistics Group. 

This concerns VAL activities of floriculture products for Albert Heijn. The takeover of activities concerns the DC equipped for this purpose and 30 employees and is a further reinforcement of the existing activities of the Cornelissen Group.

DLG's fleet has recently been expanded with the new Mercedes Actros L Gigaspace. A vehicle that sets high standards in terms of economical driving and driver comfort.

The Actros L Gigaspace uses the latest generation of Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC). This smart feature analyzes topographic data and GPS information to adjust speed and acceleration. As a result, we optimize our fuel consumption and reduce our ecological footprint. Efficiency and responsibility go hand in hand.

In addition, the Actros L Gigaspace offers a spacious interior designed with ergonomics in mind. From the comfortable seats to the intuitive control panel, everything is designed to make long journeys as pleasant as possible. With advanced safety features such as Active Brake Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and Sideguard Assist, we also ensure that our drivers and other road users are protected.

In short, the new Mercedes Actros L Gigaspace is a valuable addition to our fleet!
