Automotive Logistics: Driving you to success

Automotive

In the fast-moving automotive business, every minute counts. Vehicle manufacturers work to tight ‘Just-in-Time’ (JIT) production deadlines, so they need a supply chain logistics provider they can rely on for precision, reliability and to deliver everything on budget, on time, every time.

Comprehensive automotive logistics services

GAC has the experience, expertise and logistics network to meet the needs of customers in the Inbound, Outbound, Aftermarket and Finished Vehicles sectors with efficient logistics solutions to move your supply chain performance into top gear.

Our end-to-end service covers the entire automotive supply chain, from delivering automotive parts to the production line through to final delivery of finished vehicles to overseas car importers. In 2017, GAC handled the export of 3,000 cars from Europe to China alone.

Serving Tier 1 & Tier 2 suppliers and OEMs with reliable and cost effective inbound materials logistics by air and sea, we also handle buyers’ consolidation through key hubs in Europe, Asia and America giving you the possibility to reduce door-to-door costs and transit times.

We combine GAC’s local and global strengths to help automotive businesses - large and small - save time and money with a seamless supply chain designed to minimise production disruptions, improve delivery accuracy and maintain optimum inventory levels. Our suite of services tailored to the specific logistics needs of the industry include:
