Toll Group has opened a new NZ$245 million logistics hub in Tuas, Singapore.
Named Toll City, the one-million-square-foot site is set to increase the freight firm’s Asian network. It provides proximity to road links into Malaysia and sea links in Singapore’s Jurong region.
The hub has the backing of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and aims to drive growth across local and regional markets in the retail, consumer good and healthcare sectors.
Toll City is also located less than 3km away from Tuas Port which is set to open in 2019.
This will handle all of Singapore’s container operations in one terminal with up to 65 million TEUs per year when fully operational.
The hub is also home to new technologies such as driverless vehicles, telematics and 3D-printing and automated machine handling equipment.
It also provides a new high-tech control tower with advances safety monitoring and real time tracking of events such as weather and road closure disruptions.
Toll Global Logistics Singapore executive vice president Vincent Phang says the new hub is “a new growth chapter for Toll in Asia”.
“Toll’s focus on technology developments will revolutionise the way people work, as we create resilient supply chain solutions that deliver smarter, faster and better outcomes for our clients,” Phang says.
Singapore EDB assistant managing director Kelvin Wong says Toll City is a “testament to the transformation of our logistics ecosystem”.
