Multinational transport player Toll Group to unveil $228m logistics hub in Tuas

It will be completed by 2017.

Multinational transport and logistics provider Toll Group will build a $228m logistics hub in Tuas.

The five-level ramp-up facility will be known as Toll City will house state-of-the-art automation systems to improve productivity and operating efficiency for Toll, which is a division of Japan Post.

Some of the high-tech options being reviewed for the Toll City development include high-speed unit picking, voice picking and intelligent conveyor systems.

The integrated transport and warehouse systems are complemented by energy-efficient initiatives including rain water harvesting and energy monitoring.

Toll City’s proximity to road links to Malaysia and the growing Jurong region makes the facility an excellent land-sea interface for its customers.

It also coincides with the planned 2020 completion of the Tuas Port which will consolidate all of Singapore’s container operations in one terminal and handle up to 65 million TEUs per year when fully operational.
