New directions. New opportunities.

Transformative changes in the automotive industry are increasingly emphasizing sustainability and connectivity in vehicles. Partnering with the right logistics provider is crucial in anticipating trends and unlocking new market opportunities.

The present EV battery landscape

The automotive industry remains a vital economic force in major global markets. Recent developments have triggered a significant shift, with both manufacturers and consumers moving away from traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles towards electric-powered vehicles (EV).
Making sense of complexity

electric drivetrains share space on production lines, while the hub of battery production has shifted to different regions. The rapid evolution of zero-emission technologies demands swift and seamless adaptation.

As customer demands and expectations rise, the number of parts in vehicles has surged, requiring component manufacturers to outpace even the OEMs in production volume.

Amidst this industry-wide transformation, Antonio Fondevilla, Global Automotive Vertical Head of Esgl, discusses the critical role logistics plays in navigating this disruptive landscape.

A results-oriented strategy

Achieving net zero emissions within 10 years involves both technological and economic challenges. Instead of focusing solely on smaller targets like efficiency gains, route and modal shifts, it’s crucial to adopt a comprehensive approach that includes broader efficiency improvements, optimizations, and alternative fuels. Energy transition will be central to driving this industry-wide transformation.

Identify the challenges,
implement the solutions.

Creating a decarbonized automotive supply chain is challenging due to the complexity of sourcing thousands of components globally.

 

However, by understanding the various obstacles and focusing on developing a strategic roadmap, it is possible to transform end-to-end automotive logistics.

Every part counts.

An automobile is a complex assembly of tens of thousands of components, both large and small. Ensuring that every part is delivered to the right place at the right time is crucial, as delays can disrupt the assembly line.

To keep your components moving seamlessly, you need a logistics solution that provides maximum control, reliability, and transparency. Our automotive supply chain solutions are designed to deliver just that, from departure to destination and every step in between.

Transforming challenges into
opportunities

Agility is crucial for your supply chain. Partnering with a lead logistics provider offers a comprehensive view of your automotive supply chain, enabling you to develop improved solutions through digital innovation, integration, and the expertise of a skilled team.

Every part counts.

As assembly lines grow more complex, producing both internal combustion and electric vehicles, partnering with Esgl ensures your components arrive at the right place at the right time. We achieve this by reducing variability, optimizing cargo flow through careful planning and coordination, and reviewing lead times.

We analyze critical factors such as transit time, entry points, resilience, product value, and transportation modes to provide you with a comprehensive digital view of your end-to-end supply chain. This enables you to make informed decisions quickly.

Additionally, with NeoNav—our advanced visibility platform integrated with E2Open capabilities—you gain enhanced transparency through a multi-tier inventory view, offering greater control, speed, and resilience throughout your supply chain.

Every network counts.

The vast number of components required for a finished vehicle places significant pressure on sourcing and transporting critical automotive technology and hardware from various global locations. In an era of frequent disruptions, relying on a fragmented supply chain with multiple vendors can be risky.
