Thanh Hoa – New logistics center: Opportunities for transportation businesses and solutions from the 3S agency model

In the picture of economic development in the North Central region, Thanh Hoa is emerging as a potential logistics center thanks to the combination of impressive economic growth, synchronous transport infrastructure and strategic orientation towards seaports. This is also the time when transportation and logistics enterprises need to quickly seize the opportunity, in which the 3S agency model is considered an indispensable part of the sustainable and optimal operating ecosystem.

Strong growth, wide open opportunities for logistics industry

In the first 6 months of 2025, Thanh Hoa recorded a GRDP growth rate of 7.88%, ranking among the localities with the strongest economic growth momentum in the country. State budget revenue reached nearly 30,000 billion VND - a record high, mostly from domestic and import-export activities. Along with that, there was more than 67,000 billion VND in social investment capital, along with more than 30,000 new jobs created - numbers reflecting the strong vitality of the local economy .

High growth rates have led to increased demand for transporting goods, raw materials, and human resources, especially in industrial parks and production areas. Transport and logistics are no longer simply “logistics” but are becoming key links in promoting commercial activities. With more than 70% of domestic freight volume still being carried out by road, the commercial vehicle market in Thanh Hoa is facing a wave of major growth.

Infrastructure: The “golden lever” for transport and logistics

Along with economic growth is the synchronous development of infrastructure. A series of large projects have been implemented: Ring Road 3, inter-regional connecting road from Ho Chi Minh Road to National Highway 6, expansion of East-West Highway, North-South railway overpass... not only solving the problem of traffic congestion, but also opening up effective inter-regional transport corridors.

Notably, Nghi Son Economic Zone has been heavily invested in with the goal of becoming an international gateway port of the North Central region by 2050. With an expected cargo volume of up to 86 million tons/year, the logistics ecosystem around Nghi Son - Thanh Hoa is gradually taking shape and expanding. This is a solid foundation for logistics enterprises to set foot or expand their operations in the locality.

Bustling commercial vehicle market

In the wave of infrastructure and logistics development, transportation and logistics service businesses are facing the problem of optimizing operating costs, improving efficiency and minimizing the risk of stopping operations. At this time, car dealers are not simply places to sell vehicles - but must become strategic partners, accompanying businesses for the long term. The 3S dealer model - including sales, service and spare parts - is considered a comprehensive solution.

In Thanh Hoa, some 3S dealers such as Hyundai Lam Kinh have proactively built a multi-layered service ecosystem, from consulting on vehicle configuration by industry, to mobile maintenance and providing genuine spare parts on-site. In addition, Hyundai Lam Kinh also implements a periodic maintenance model according to contracts - helping businesses forecast costs in advance, easily plan budgets and avoid unexpected breakdowns. In addition, Hyundai Lam Kinh also integrates a maintenance reminder system, so businesses can rest assured to hand over the entire fleet care process to the dealer, focusing on core business activities.

“Touchpoints” from trust – not from price lists

In a highly competitive market such as commercial vehicles, price is no longer the only factor that determines customer choice. Transport companies now prioritize choosing dealers with long-term partnership capacity – where they seek in-depth after-sales service and technical support throughout the operational life of their fleet.

In Thanh Hoa, Hyundai Lam Kinh is a 3S Dealer that has built “market trust” with its stable service. Possessing standard facilities, transparent processes, a team of specialized technicians – especially the ability to handle “the problem right the first time” – helps them become the first choice of businesses that are expanding their transportation scale, both in the industrial, construction, and commercial logistics sectors.

Thanh Hoa is entering a favorable period to become the logistics center of the North Central region, thanks to its economic growth rate, infrastructure connections and synchronous development of seaports. In this context, investing in a modern fleet and choosing the right service partner is a key factor to help transport businesses improve operational efficiency. Reputable local 3S dealers - such as Hyundai Lam Kinh - are playing an important role, not only providing vehicles but also providing long-term support in maintenance, engineering and optimizing fleet operations.
