Steve Center, COO of Kia America explains how vehicle logistics has become more important across the carmaker’s sales in the face of long vehicle waiting times and business model changes.
Finished Vehicle Logistics North America 2022 kicked off with an industry that has radically changed. Now that nearly every vehicle has a customer assigned to it by the time it reaches the outbound logistics chain – or even before it has been built – there is more concern among dealers and end customers about the time and visibility in vehicle delivery. That has increased the stakes in vehicle logistics, and is driving OEMs and logistics providers to work together to improve visibility, estimated delivery times and capacity utilisation. Christopher Ludwig explains how the industry is changing and what to expect from the top decision makers at this year’s event, including from Toyota North America, Nissan, Kia America, Ford, Volkswagen and more.

Manny Bansi, responsible for vehicle logistics in North America, explains why the carmaker is putting so much focus on ETA and how it is impacting operations in transport and vehicle processing.
SVP of sales Ray Mikiciuk says vehicle ETA is a top priority for Volkswagen Group’s dealer body in the US – and that is changing how sales work with supply chain teams.
