Marking the 25th anniversary of its Roissy-Charles de Gaulle (95) hub FedEx has announced that it is investing €30m (US$31m) in the renovation of an existing building to transform it into a dedicated heavyweight- and freight-handling facility the investment is part of a continued optimization of the FedEx network in response to evolving market trends and includes improved service quality for businesses shipping heavy shipments intra-Europe and the provision of intercontinental services will be transformed into a complex dedicated to heavy cargo operations It is currently being refurbished in accordance with a contractual commitment made in coordination with Groupe ADP (Aéroports de Paris) the building centralizes the processing of heavy goods in one dedicated site and will feature scanners and mobile weight measurement systems with LED lighting contributing to energy savings “We are delighted to announce this further enhancement to our operations with the addition of a dedicated freight building to our historic Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle site on the occasion of its 25th anniversary,” said Julien Ducoup “It will strengthen our sorting capabilities as we see significant opportunities in the deferred parcel and freight markets we are proud to continue making a positive contribution to the dynamism of the regional economy: today four other jobs are generated in the Île-de-France area1 “Our hub has played a critical role at some key historical moments including the first vaccine deliveries during the Covid-19 crisis We remain committed to our customers and businesses across France and Europe and are resolutely focused on continuing to innovate to anticipate the evolutions of the marketplace.” The Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle site is the main FedEx European hub and its second largest site in the world It has 4,000 employees  – the majority of the 5,500 FedEx team members in the Paris region – and can process up to 68,000 parcels and documents per hour The site is being modernized in line with FedEx’s goal of achieving carbon-neutral operations by 2040 through the electrification of the on-site fleet of ground vehicles and investments in more than 500m2 of solar panels It is connected to the FedEx international road hub in Marly-la-Ville which connects France to the rest of the European road network Since the creation of the FedEx site at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle in 1999 the group has invested more than €600m (US$630m) in the site’s facilities FedEx has an ambitious and inclusive hiring and retention policy through recruitment methods prioritizing behavioral skills over other criteria Internal promotion plays an important role with an average service length of 18 years at the hub the company’s activities generate approximately 22,000 direct or indirect jobs As a testament to the positive economic impact of the hub FedEx was awarded the ‘Talent and Training of the Future’ award by Business France last year FedEx generates €1.8bn (US$1.9bn) for the Paris region each year – €141 (US$148) per inhabitant – as highlighted by a study conducted in 2023 The end-of-the-year holiday period sees 7% more volume than is the average for the three other quarters of the year approximately 30% of the total volume of orders was delivered over this peak period According to new research commissioned by FedEx and conducted by Effigy Consulting nearly 500 million of the parcels transported in Europe during this peak season will be for export France will experience the third highest level of deliveries over this period in Europe just behind the UK (1.3 billion) and Germany (1.1 billion) To address these changes in the market, FedEx has implemented a new strategic approach to its air-network model enabling a differentiated management of parcel and freight flows The new air-network operating model introduces three sections in which the shipments are diverted depending on their volume and the priority chosen by customers and in response to an increased demand for deferred services Three colored sections describe priority: purple is the highest priority shipments routed only by the FedEx-owned fleet and sorted at critical times; orange still uses FedEx aircraft but goods are sorted outside of priority windows making it suitable for cargo shipments; and white builds on FedEx’s network of airline partners adding flexibility and more point-to-point connections for deferred parcels and e-commerce shipments News Home » BMW Is Shipping Cars To Dealers With An Electric Truck BMW isn’t venturing into the electric truck business it is using a zero-emission big rig to ship new cars to dealers in the Paris region The automaker’s French division is running a pilot program until the end of the first quarter of 2025 CEVA Logistics’ zero-emission truck is a Volvo FM that covers about 270 kilometers (168 miles) each day The purely electric truck has been adapted to serve as a car transporter It’s estimated to cover around 30,000 kilometers (18,641 miles) until the trial ends by late March next year BMW France mentions its batteries are charged twice a day When it heads back to the platform in Marly-la-Ville in the evening it’s juiced up at a dedicated charging station This Volvo FM is just one of 450 electric trucks that CEVA Logistics operates for other logistics purposes across Europe CEVA Logistics and BMW Group France teamed up in 2018 to ship BMW and MINI cars to dealers across France Almost 90,000 vehicles are handled annually at CEVA Logistics’ platforms in Marly-la-Ville The trial run could be extended after the pilot program ends An analysis will be done to assess how much the electric truck helps with decarbonization The BMW Group wants to cut CO2 emissions per car in the value chain by 40% by the end of this decade It also wants recycled materials to account for 50% in 2030 when the luxury brand projects EVs will represent half of its annual sales MINI and Rolls-Royce will stop selling cars with combustion engines around that time This isn’t the first time BMW is using an electric truck we reported on Designwerks’ two EV workhorses transporting battery cells and modules from the BMW Allee warehouse to the battery production center at the Leipzig factory in Germany More from News 2025 BMWBLOG | Change consent French logistics service provider Ceva Logistics and BMW Group France are trialling the use of a fully electric car transporter in the French capital region of Île-de-France The trail involves an XXL electric vehicle from Volvo Trucks Ceva Logistics has been transporting new BMW and Mini vehicles from its Marly-La-Ville site to a partner network in the Paris region since September The company uses an electric car carrier to test its practicality in urban and suburban areas The programme will run until the end of the first quarter of 2025 “after which a full evaluation will take place.” This is a first for Ceva Logistics.
