Balkan Express enhances Romania-Bulgaria trade with new logistics solution

DHL Express România has launched a new service called Balkan Express, designed specifically for shipments to and from Bulgaria. This innovative road connection promises to significantly enhance the efficiency of cross-border logistics, allowing companies to achieve a reliable and cost-effective balance for their transport needs.

Balkan Express is available through the DHL Economy Select service, offering door-to-door delivery with complete tracking capabilities. The service not only improves delivery predictability but also streamlines logistics flows, making it a competitive alternative for regional road transport.

The new solution comes at a time when international trade shows remarkable resilience. According to the DHL Global Connectedness Report 2026, global connectivity has reached a new record level, and Europe remains the most connected region in the world for trade and economic flows. Regional logistics connections play a vital role in supporting this trade.

With transit times of 1-2 working days for most destinations in Bulgaria, and 2-3 days for hard-to-reach areas, Balkan Express offers a swift and efficient solution for businesses. Orders can be placed quickly and easily through MyDHL+, providing customers with visibility throughout the entire shipping process.

Bogdan Enache, General Director of DHL Express România, highlighted that Balkan Express not only expands the DHL Economy Select portfolio but also aligns with the company's ongoing investment in developing logistics solutions that facilitate cross-border trade. This new connection between Romania and Bulgaria is set to improve the overall efficiency of logistics operations for companies in the region.
