XPO LOGISTICS provides full truckload and groupage services to DCS Group’s UK customer base.
DCS Group is a key UK distributor and manufacturer that works with hundreds of brands to create numerous household-name products. Brands include Colgate, Pampers, Cow & Gate and Daz.
The partnership will benefit from XPO Logistics IT solutions.
Dan Myers, managing director—UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, says: “Working in partnership, we will leverage our shared passion for the customer to drive transformational improvements.”
Carl Palmer, chief operations officer, DCS Group, adds: “XPO Logistics was the obvious choice for our logistics partner as it has a fantastic reputation and excellent pedigree regarding FMCG transport solutions and IT solutions that create opportunities for us in our industry. We are delighted to be working with XPO Logistics.”
The deployment of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) as a clean fuel replacement for diesel will play an essential role in supporting DCS Group’s sustainability goals. Using XPO’s technology, including the CO2 dashboard and AI route planning, will be implemented to help optimise route planning and reduce unnecessary miles.
