Nissan is working on a project to improve the delivery of its vehicles to dealerships by road both in terms of time and capacity by breaking down the stages involved in the process

Nissan North America is ten months into an 18-month pilot project that aims to tackle capacity pressures in finished vehicle road haulage, improve delivery times and make the job of delivering vehicles more attractive to freight drivers – three of the main challenges facing the vehicle logistics sector today in the US. Working with Georgia Institute of Technology and two of its bigger vehicle haulage carriers – CAR Transport and Hansen and Adkins – Nissan is using the latest technology to develop a transit hub network in south-east region of the US (but also including Texas).
