摘要：	1.Uber Freight goes big, acquires Transplace for $2.25 billion. Digital freight broker Uber Freight said last month that it will be acquiring Transplace, a non-asset-based third-party logistics services provider, in a move the companies said will create one of the leading logistics technology platforms, with one of the largest and most comprehensive managed transportation and logistics networks in the world. The companies also said that this meshing would optimize the movement of freight throughout the entire marketplace while also providing shippers with best-in-class services and creating new carrier opportunities. They explained that the pairing of Uber Freight's digitally-enabled carrier network and Transplace's shipper technology and operational offerings will provide what they called "a fully-scaled logistics platform built to meet both shippers and carriers where they are, no matter the size of their business or their transportation needs."2.DHL Express heralds major Americas region investment. Global express delivery and logistics services provider DHL is spending more than $360 million in an initiative focused on building new and expanding existing facilities in the America's region, spanning the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South and Central America and the Caribbean. DHL said that it will also be investing millions of dollars into its Americas air network, for things like the introduction of new direct flight routes. DHL officials said that these investments are largely driven by both B2C and B2B e-commerce shipment growth, where the Americas' countries experienced, on average, 33% more shipments per day in the first quarter of 2021 annually. And in the United States, DHL said shipment volumes were up 41 % in the first quarter of 2021 versus the same period in 2020. DHL said that these new investments would increase volume capacity in the DHL Express Americas network by almost 30% by the end of 2022.
