Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain ASEAN is heading to Kuala Lumpur this October

Designed to support the dynamic and fast-growing South-East Asian automotive market, ALSC ASEAN 2026 will gather 150+ senior leaders from OEMs, tier suppliers, logistics service providers and tech pioneers to benchmark performance, share market insights and strengthen supply chain resilience across the entire region. 

What to expect

The agenda will delve into the most pressing operational challenges and strategic developments across the ASEAN bloc, from physical supply chain integration and port infrastructure investments to EV battery logistics, trade policies and cross-border customs optimisation.

Interactive sessions will spotlight how collaboration across OEMs, suppliers, 3PL/4PL providers and tech leaders is essential to building a more resilient, competitive and connected supply chain. Industry experts will explore strategies for:

• Navigating EV & battery logistics: Overcoming fragmented regional regulations, safe handling, and warehousing compliance for battery transport.

• Leveraging regional supply chain hubs: Positioned directly in Kuala Lumpur, sessions will explore how Malaysia acts as a strategic gateway for regional growth alongside neighbouring markets like Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Singapore.

• Eliminating the visibility gap: Deploying digital control towers, transport management systems, and agentic AI to remove supply chain blind spots.

• Reimagining supply chains for 2036: Exploring how autonomous equipment, infrastructure investments, and tech-driven talent will shape the next decade of regional networks.
