DHL Freight Automotive

AUTOMOTIVE LOGISTICS WITH TOP MARKS FOR STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY

DHL Freight offers flexible automotive solutions for every transport requirement – inbound as well as outbound – and every order volume.

In today’s automotive sector, success is only possible if the inbound and outbound supply chain operates with absolute reliability and quickly adapts to changing conditions. This is where DHL Freight has an important contribution to make. Through our expertise and our dense network, the specialists at DHL Freight can offer precisely the bespoke solution you need.

Efficiency is key. For us, it goes without saying that your

products will arrive at the right place, at exactly the right

time. In addition to this, as a financially robust partner with

more than 170 branch offices throughout Europe, parts of

the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States), North

Africa and the Middle East region, we can guarantee you

maximum flexibility backed up by a modern transport fleet.

This way, even if there are large up- and downward fluctua-

tions in your order volumes, you can tailor your logistics

volume to meet current needs quickly and cost-efficiently.

RELIABLE, STRONG AND LEAN

Only a logistics network with coverage like the one at DHL

Freight can guarantee the transport model that is best for

you. Whether your solution is a sophisticated hub-and-

spoke system, whether you wish to use milk runs to opti-

mise your delivery logistics and the processing of empties,

or whether you wish to use an area-based shipping concept

to improve the way procurement and distribution are

handled: let’s get together and talk about it.

IT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT TO HAVE A STRONG AND FLEXIBLE AUTOMOTIVE PARTNER

As a leading logistics partner, we can offer you the entire

spectrum of available land transport solutions from a single

source. No matter how large your order volume is, the

highest standard of service on our part is guaranteed.

Point-to-Point concepts include full loads (FTL), part-loads

(PTL), or less than truckload (LTL) transports. Our presence

throughout Europe and beyond, combined with our broad

customer base, enables optimal capacity utilisation. Group-

age shipments are consolidated in the best manner possible

and distributed through the most suitable means of

transport for you.

Area-based shipping provides precise handling and

an extensive network of all consolidation points. As an

area-based shipper, we are already active with renowned

suppliers and numerous OEMs. You can rely on our

experience in this area for your logistics needs.
