Through the power of digital visibility tools and proactive integrated solutions, Maersk can help set you on a new path to a future with long-term automotive supply chain success.
The current EV battery landscape
Making sense of complexity
Automotive supply chains have become even more complex. Today, the two drivetrains – internal combustion and electric – are sharing space on vehicle production lines. The epicentre of battery production has shifted to regional geographies, and technologies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are evolving at a pace that demands quick and seamless turnarounds.
With increasing customer demands and expectations, more parts are going into vehicles than ever before. As a component manufacturer, you now face an inherent need to produce more components than the OEMs themselves.
In the context of this industry-wide transformation, Antonio Fondevilla, Global Automotive Vertical Head of Maersk, explains the role that logistics can play in navigating this disruptive landscape.
A solution-driven approach
Aiming for an industry-wide transformation comes with both technological and economical challenges. A realistic way of approaching this goal is to look beyond the smaller targets like finding efficiency gains, route and modal shifts, and aim for a multi-faceted solution on efficiencies, optimisations, and fuels. Amid all this, energy transition will be the key player to drive this transformation.
Understand the challenges, implement the solutions
Creating a decarbonised automotive supply chain can be a difficult task. This is because of the complexity involved in sourcing thousands of components from different parts of the world.
However, it is possible to transform end-to-end automotive logistics by understanding the different obstacles involved in the process and concentrating on developing a strategic roadmap towards this.
Every component matters
Tens of thousands of components – big and small – go into the marvel that is an automobile. This means that all the parts need to be in the right place at the right time. Delays are not acceptable as they risk slowing down the assembly line.
To ensure that all your components move like clockwork, you need a logistics offering that gives you utmost control, reliability and transparency. From end to end, departure to destination, our automotive supply chain solutions are designed to give you just that.
Turning challenges into opportunities
Agility. It’s what your supply chain needs. Partnering with a lead logistics provider can give you a comprehensive look into the inner workings of an automotive supply chain. It allows you to develop better solutions led by digital innovation, integration, and a reliable team of highly talented professionals.
In view of the increasingly complex supplier relationships, it is important for the BMW Group to work together with suppliers to increase transparency and resource efficiency along the supply chain.
