Episode #9
Factory to forecourt: The moving parts of automotive logistics - feat. Maersk’s Achim Glass
In this episode of Beyond the Car, we look at one of the key aspects of mobility: the movement of goods. Logistics service providers keep the automotive value chain moving by orchestrating the flow of parts, vehicles, and materials from supplier to production line to customer, ensuring factories received the right parts exactly when and where they're needed, and customers received the vehicles they ordered on the day they were told it would be at the dealership. This episode features two interviews, presenting differing perspectives in order to get a sense of the challenges, innovations, and strategic decisions that influence the movement of finished vehicles, parts and materials through an increasingly complex global supply chain. You'll hear first from Christopher Ludwig, Chief Content Officer at Automotive Logistics Magazine and the Ultima Media Group behind that publication, among others; you'll then hear from Achim Glass, an automotive logistics industry expert, Head of Sales Automotive for Northern Europe at AP Moller Maersk, who talked about the challenges and opportunities faced by automotive suppliers, vehicle manufacturers, and logistics service providers, and why Maersk joined FISITA.
