ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- There are horrible, tragic human effects of the pandemic, notwithstanding that it has altered society in permanent and positive transformative ways. We’ve opined about some of these changes being sensible, long overdue events, like the developing trend towards telemedicine.

The long and the short (haul) of it is that they built this unique trucking business in England and its market penetration, expansion and revenues have exceeded expectations. In the Spring of 2020, demand for vehicle delivery outpaced supply and projections are for demand levels to remain permanent. To meet this need, the Company plans to increase its fleet by 20% by year-end, expanding to 600+ vehicles.

It says a lot about the market BoxVn is in and confirms the tailwinds of its planned expansion. This heightened need for delivery of products vis-à-vis the Internet is not going away and the companies who position themselves in the essential chain of this new economy are poised to grow and expand with it.
