Swap bodies for Hermes
Aves One, an investor in the long-life logistics asset sector, has acquired and ordered around 2,000 swap bodies worth approximately EUR 17 million.
About 1,200 brand-new swap bodies were purchased, and most of them have been leased to the Hamburg-based logistics company Hermes Germany for five years. When the agreement expires, Hermes has the option to renew the lease for another five years. Through the acquisition, Aves One has expanded its swap body portfolio to around 7,800 units.
Jürgen Bauer, CEO of Aves One: "We are delighted that with Hermes, we have gained a financially strong user of our new assets. We expect to see demand for swap bodies to increase given the continuing growth of the courier, express and parcel market." (mw)
