Automotive
Automotive logistics supports the movement of complete vehicles and the continuous flow of components that keep production lines running. This sector covers import and export of CBU and CKD units, engines, body panels, electronic components such as chips, and parts of every type which requires specialist knowledge, dedicated equipment and a zero-tolerance approach to damage. It may also include shipments moved under temporary importation for processing, assembly, or integration of additional parts before re-export. Operations may involve Ro-Ro services for a single vehicle up to full charter level, vehicle staging in port parking areas, customs clearance, and delivery to pre-delivery inspection (PDI) facilities. Processing at PDI sites can include cleaning, detailing, minor adjustments, and preparation prior to distribution to dealerships nationwide. For parts logistics, operators must manage JIT/JIS delivery windows, packaging standards, multimodal routing, and coordination with manufacturers and tier suppliers. Networks listed in the Automotive vertical confirm that selected members possess the operational capability, industry knowledge, and infrastructure required to manage both vehicle and component logistics with consistency and professionalism.
