Automotive Industry

We have a solid track record in all aspects of logistics, including automobile manufacturing, import/export, and distribution

We provide all aspects of automotive logistics around the world, including "transportation of finished vehicles", "production parts", "spare parts", "production equipment", "motor pool operations", and "parts storage".
We are experienced in milk run*1 and JIT*2 deliveries to plants, so please contact us if you are in need of our services.

*1 The milk-run method is a transportation method named after dairy manufacturers make a round to collect raw milk from each dairy farm. In automobile assembly, in contrast to the JIT method (see below), the manufacturer collects raw materials and parts from suppliers by making rounds.
*2 The JIT (just-in-time) method is an approach to minimize excess inventory by planning and delivering materials based on the estimation of what, when, and how much will be needed at any given time.

Vehicle Transportation to Mongolia

Responding to the cargo backlog on the route from Tianjin through the China-Mongolia border, we achieved an alternative transportation service from Wuhan

Mongolia relies on imports for many of its daily commodities, and the route from Tianjin through the China-Mongolia border is a major logistics artery for the Mongolian market. However, due to the recent surge in ocean freight rates to Europe, cargoes bound for Europe have been pouring into this route. Coupled with China's policy of giving priority to Europe, a large volume of cargoes bound for Mongolia have been stuck in Tianjin.

Therefore, we proposed an alternative block train transportation service from Wuhan to Mongolia. Under the supervision of our Shanghai subsidiary, a single-car, block-train with 50 containers ran from Wuhan to the China-Mongolia border.

While many cargoes were held up on the existing route, the completed vehicles, arrived safely in Mongolia by the delivery date, and 100 vehicles transported were sold out on the same day, earning strong evaluations from the local customer.

As a pioneer in transportation to Mongolia, we will continue to make flexible proposals in response to current trends and optimize logistics.

Avoiding Previo

Import Customs Clearance Services for Mexico

Mexico's Previo (customs broker's voluntary inspection) has many disadvantages and tends to be a vested interest for customs brokers to collect additional fees. There is little advantage for the importers, particularly for equipment customs clearance. We avoid this Previo, and achieve on-time delivery, reduced extra costs, and safer transportation.
