At a recent automotive webinar hosted by Haropa Port, Renault’s global vice-president of supply chain, Jean-François Salles, said that the vehicle mix in the outbound supply chain was going to change over the next few years, with more second-hand, light commercial and shared vehicles being distributed. That trend will require different logistics planning
The type of vehicles being moved through the outbound supply chain is going to change in the near future, with more commercial vehicles, vehicles meant for sharing and more refurbished used vehicles coming into the mix, according to Renault. At the same time, there is a need for rationalisation of modes and sharing of data. Jean-François Salles, global vice-president of supply chain at Renault, said that the pandemic has acted as a catalyst for a number of trends that are likely to continue in the future. In a vehicle market in which the sale of new passenger vehicles shrank dramatically, used cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) experienced undiminished popularity.
