Cars in Containers
Ship finished vehicles in standard dry containers.
What is Cars in Containers?
Cars in Containers (CiC) enables the seamless transportation of finished vehicles from manufacturing plants to global destinations using containers. This solution works as a capable complement to traditional RoRo shipping.
Our innovative vehicle shipping service ensures a safer, faster and efficient path to market which enhances cost efficiency and flexibility in your automotive supply chain. It also helps reduce transportation risks and greenhouse emissions during auto shipping. Stay ahead of the competition and optimise your Finished Vehicle Logistics, all the way.
Why complete your supply chain with Cars in Containers?
Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) is the traditional choice for most Finished Vehicle Logistics (FVL) across the world, but space can be a constraint in this mode. Moreover, it may not meet the required sustainability standards, time to market needs and cash flow efficiencies that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) demand.
Each car must be professionally handled to avoid any missteps or damages while being transported from factories to dealers. Moreover, our team performs pre-delivery inspections (PDIs) before the vehicles are handed over to the customer.
For OEMs looking to capture market share and enter new geographies, Cars in Containers is a viable solution which offers quick, efficient ways to get Completely Built-up Units (CBUs) to their target destinations.
Why do you need Cars in Containers?
How does Cars in Containers work?
Cars in containers involves loading finished vehicles into standard dry containers. Each vehicle is positioned, and immobilised (secured/lashed) within the container floor or racks to ensure safe transportation. Because the cars are containerised, they can be moved using multiple modes of transport, which comes in handy especially before and after the ocean journey. Upon arrival to the depot, cars are carefully unloaded and inspected for any damage, ensuring secure and efficient vehicle transportation.
