CASE STUDY

Automotive Industry

Optimising the profitability and efficiency of urgent
deliveries across supply chains in Europe

One of the biggest Tier suppliers in Europe

One of the biggest Tier 1 suppliers in the automotive industry in Europe had a goal to improve efficiency in transport and distribution along their supply chain. With production lines in different European cities, the company has been through many logistics challenges. They searched to have dedicated solutions to optimize their processes.

Upstream requirements

As a Tier supplier to multiple automotive manufacturers, the company required direct solutions, fast response to demands and complete control over their logistics operations. Working in an industry where continuous flow of goods and perfect timing is crucial, state-of-the-art transport solutions were highly needed.

The Challenge | A dedicated ad-hoc solution

This is where Eurosender stepped in. As we manage one of the biggest networks of top logistics providers, offering express and secure van deliveries, we were able to meet the company’s transportation demands and return them the control over their supply chain distribution. With an extensive network, Eurosender covers a significant daily automotive market share in Europe. We work with Tier suppliers on a daily level.

SUSTAINABILITY

A greener solution

As all our logistics partners are using exclusively new engines Euro 6, we can offer more sustainable transport. Our logistics experts are planning optimal routes, making sure that no vehicle travels empty and avoiding idle time in logistics. As a result, the automotive supplier successfully reduced its CO2 emissions by 6 tons in 2021. In addition, freight transportation needs were cut down by 12%.

Above all, express van deliveries are more flexible and cost advantageous in comparison to air freight. Going away from too many cargo flights is a great step to lower carbon emissions in Europe.
