In a major development set to reshape the landscape of time-sensitive logistics in Europe, XPO Logistics has officially expanded its advanced ExpressNow service across the continent. Designed for urgent, critical shipments, this high-performance platform combines real-time artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and 24/7 service to meet rising demand for agile, resilient supply chains.
As global supply networks continue to battle volatility—from political disruptions to capacity constraints—XPO’s European move signals a deliberate pivot toward faster, smarter logistics built for the complexities of today’s market.
A High-Tech Backbone for Just-in-Time Precision
At the heart of the ExpressNow expansion is its AI-driven real-time tracking system. The technology, developed in-house and integrated across XPO’s multimodal network, allows clients to monitor shipments with unparalleled accuracy and respond to exceptions before they turn into disruptions.
“This isn’t just about fast transport,” said Damien Roy, Senior Vice President of Operations at XPO Europe. “It’s about giving customers complete control over their supply chain in real time. We’ve built ExpressNow to anticipate, alert, and adapt at every step of the delivery process.”
By leveraging machine learning and historical traffic data, ExpressNow continuously recalibrates routing, ensuring the most efficient path—whether by road, rail, or air—is always chosen, even mid-transit.
24/7 Access and Custom-Tailored Logistics
Beyond speed, ExpressNow is designed with round-the-clock availability and customization in mind. Customers in industries ranging from healthcare to electronics can access dedicated logistics support, even outside standard business hours.
Each client receives a bespoke logistics model, built to address the specific characteristics of their cargo—from pharmaceutical cold chain needs to high-value electronics requiring added security.
“ExpressNow’s personalized services allow our clients to transform emergency shipments into planned efficiency,” added Roy. “We’ve replaced stress with strategy.”
Building Resilience in the European Supply Chain
Europe’s logistics sector has been under immense strain in recent years, grappling with everything from driver shortages to new customs protocols post-Brexit. XPO’s expansion of ExpressNow is seen as a strategic answer to these ongoing challenges.
Logistics analysts note that while next-day and same-day services are becoming the norm in consumer-facing sectors, B2B clients in manufacturing, aerospace, and energy are increasingly demanding predictive logistics that offer transparency, security, and reliability under pressure.
By reinforcing its European presence, XPO positions itself as a logistics partner—not just a provider—capable of helping businesses navigate turbulent supply chain environments with precision.
A Long-Term Play in Digital Freight
ExpressNow is part of XPO’s broader digital transformation strategy. Since 2023, the company has been investing heavily in data infrastructure and automation tools, with the aim of becoming the most technologically integrated freight network in Europe by 2026.
“The future of logistics lies in data-informed decisions and real-time responsiveness,” said Marie Delvaux, Head of Digital Solutions at XPO. “With ExpressNow, we are delivering not only goods, but certainty—when and where it matters most.”
For clients seeking speed, reliability, and full visibility, XPO’s ExpressNow may soon become the new benchmark in urgent freight delivery across Europe.
