Case Study
Just in time, every time
This renowned engine manufacturer operates plants in the UK, Germany and Turkey to serve global agricultural, construction and industrial markets.
Road freight is the preferred choice in a multi-modal supply chain that operates to rigid timescales and service levels.
Three to four trailers operate daily between each plant, shuttling components and KD shipments with defined delivery deadlines. All trucks are GPS tracked giving full transparency on transit schedules throughout Europe.
Vehicles can be single, double, or even treble-manned, depending on the route and urgency of the load. “Just in time” concept taken to the optimum level!
