On February 12, 2026, DHL Supply Chain expanded its global network of Electric Vehicle (EV) Centers of Excellence with a new facility in Senec, Slovakia. The 26,000-square-meter warehouse is the first EV Center of Excellence in Central Europe and will support comprehensive logistics for lithium-ion batteries, EV components and the broader e-mobility ecosystem.

The Senec center offers end-to-end logistics, including inbound and outbound transport, temperature- and humidity-controlled storage, battery testing, charging services and aftermarket support. Dedicated zones for general cargo and hazardous materials comply with local regulations and DHL’s internal safety standards. The site also features tailored services for two-wheeler logistics.
Key offerings include flexible short- and long-term warehousing, an advanced warehouse management system with full electronic data interchange (EDI) and cloud-based real-time inventory visibility, non-hazardous repackaging, inventory control, order fulfillment and specialized transport within DHL’s regional network.
