Re-shaping the Automotive Logistics Industry

The automotive logistics industry, in common with many others, has faced unprecedented challenges. The global economic downturn has forced companies, both manufacturers and service providers, to reappraise how they do business. Communication, collaboration and efficency have become the most important words in the logistician’s lexicon. These and other burning issues feature prominently on the autoMOTIVE Logistics Leaders congress programme. Senior figures from both OEMs and LSPs will discuss best practice and the need to strive for ever-greater synergies.

The global automotive logistics market – inbound and outbound - is worth over $100 billion a year in times of prosperity. We should remember that those days will return. It is the timeframe which is uncertain. Meanwhile, the task facing all of us is to manage our way through the current difficulties and to prepare ourselves for better times to come.

The congress will focus on the impact the economic crisis has had on the automotive logistics sector and on how present and future difficulties may be eased. Industry experts will highlight areas of major concern and will discuss the outlook for the foreseeable future. Each of the principal transport modes, road, rail and sea, will be individually examined by panels comprising leading figures from each sector who will identify the issues and propose solutions for the short term and beyond.
