How MSC is driving efficiency and sustainability in automotive logistics with intermodal solutions and customer-focused supply chain strategies

The automotive sector faces constant pressure to streamline logistics, improve sustainability, and ensure resilience across supply chains. MSC, a global leader in shipping and logistics, plays a crucial role in supporting OEMs and suppliers by offering end-to-end transport solutions that go beyond port-to-port shipping.

In this exclusive pre-event interview, Johanna Wrage, global accounts automotive deputy manager at MSC, shares insights on how the company is leveraging its expertise to meet the evolving needs of the industry. She highlights MSC’s intermodal logistics strategy across rail, road and inland waterways, and how the company is helping customers navigate sustainability and capacity challenges.

The company supports decarbonisation efforts through initiatives such as MSC’s biofuel solutions, enabling customers to reduce CO2 emissions, and provides a dedicated automotive logistics team tailored support, ensuring that customers can track and optimise their supply chain with ease.

“In Germany alone, we have a whole department of experts working exclusively on automotive customers,” Wrage said. “The automotive industry is time sensitive, and our customers appreciate that they can just pick up the phone and reach out to one of my colleagues who can tell them exactly where their container is right now. We take the time to understand their challenges and we build the right solutions.”
