Global Survey on Automotive Logistics: Navigating Complex Seas
The global finished vehicle logistics (FVL) sector is currently grappling with a series of issues, according to a new research conducted by the Automotive Logistics team in collaboration with RPM, a specialized expert in finished vehicle and freight transport.
The research, aimed at understanding the concerns of both users and providers of FVL services, took place at an unspecified location. The findings of the research will be data-driven, offering insights into the global FVL sector and its current state.
One of the key challenges facing the FVL sector is the accurate tracking of vehicle progress. With every car made currently in high demand, there is an urgent need to deliver vehicles to end customers. However, labour and material shortages, rising fuel, equipment, and freight costs, and the impact of the conflict in Ukraine and China's zero-Covid policy are all contributing to delays and disruptions in the supply chain.
These issues are not only affecting the FVL sector but are also having repercussions on vehicle sales. The research will provide information on the concerns of those involved in the FVL sector and how these challenges are impacting vehicle production and distribution.
The research also highlights the need for the FVL sector to focus on sustainability. With growing concerns about the environmental impact of the automotive industry, the sector is under renewed scrutiny to address its sustainability.
The partnership between Automotive Logistics and RPM aims to provide valuable data on the concerns of those using and providing FVL services worldwide. The research will offer insights into the global FVL sector and provide solutions to the challenges it is currently facing.
