CEO Peter Bakker comments:
“The second quarter of 2008 has seen a shift in trading volumes in Express. In April and May the volumes in Europe were in line with the preceding quarters, but in June we have experienced a slow down in the premium Express volumes in Europe. The sharp rise in fuel prices during the quarter and the general economic outlook have impacted both our customers and us. The resilience of TNT is however best demonstrated by the fact that the volumes in our European Road Network have continued to grow throughout the quarter and in June. Also our emerging market activities in Brazil, China and India, with the connecting lanes to Europe, have all shown double-digit growth.
In Mail the results were robust. Volume declines were at the expected levels, with substitution in letter mail being the main driver. ..
