Automotive Logistics

Time-critical parts delivered exactly where they are needed.

Missing components, urgent spare-part requirements or an impending production shutdown demand quick decisions. We coordinate the appropriate transport solution between suppliers, warehouses, factories and operating locations.

Production-critical logistics
01
Production shutdown

Missing materials halt operations

02
Spare-part requirement

A component is required at short notice

03
Fixed deadline

Factory and gate hours define the time window

Production does not wait for standard transit times.

Typical situations

When every minute of the production process matters.

Automotive transport requirements usually arise from a specific operational bottleneck. What matters is when the required material must be available at the factory, production site or operating location.

01
Production shutdown

A missing component is blocking operations.

Production cannot continue as planned without the required part.

Logistics response Urgent Special Transport

Exclusively assigned and coordinated with the required delivery time at the factory.

02
Urgent spare-part requirement

The required component must reach the factory directly.

A spare part is ready at a supplier, warehouse or another location and is required at short notice.

Logistics response Direct Transport

From the collection location to the factory or operating location without transshipment.

03
Same-day replenishment

Materials must arrive during the current working day.

An urgent replenishment is required because delivery on the next working day would be too late for operations.

Logistics response Same Day Express

Collection and delivery on the same day, provided the route and time window allow it.

Transport decision

The operational situation determines the right solution.

Not every automotive shipment requires the same transport method. We tailor the solution to the urgency, route, time when the goods are ready, time window and shipment requirements.

Automotive requirements

What matters when planning the transport.

In addition to the route and shipment details, we consider the operational conditions at the collection location, factory and production site.

05 Planning factors
01

Ready for collection

When will the component actually be ready for collection?

02

Factory and gate hours

Which factory, gate or delivery hours must be considered?

03

Delivery deadline

By when must the material reach the factory or operating location?

04

Loading requirements

Dimensions, weight, loading method and accessibility determine the appropriate vehicle.

05

Contact persons

Collection and recipient contacts are considered for the handover, delivery and operational coordination.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Automotive Logistics.

Which transport solution is suitable during a production shutdown?

During a production shutdown, Special Transport arranged at short notice may be appropriate. Whether Special Transport, Direct Transport, Same Day Express or another solution is best depends on the route, time when the goods are ready, shipment details and required delivery time.

Can components be delivered directly to the production plant?

Yes. Components can be transported directly from a supplier, warehouse or another location to the production plant. If the shipment must remain in the same vehicle without transshipment, we will assess a Direct Transport solution.

What information do you need for an automotive enquiry?

We need the collection and delivery locations, dimensions and weight, time when the goods are ready, requested delivery time and any relevant factory, gate, loading and unloading information.
