Sector Automotive

Türkiye is one of the production centers of global automotive manufacturers. The automotive industry in Türkiye developed rapidly due to technological infrastructure, high workforce capacity, solutions for automotive logistics depending on the advantages of geographical location, and Customs Union agreements entered into with European Union countries. In fact, automotive companies ranked five among the top 10 companies in Türkiye's 500 Largest Industrial Enterprises list in 2019 based on export value, 2 when gross added value is taken into account, and 4 when sales from production are considered (According to the Automotive Sectors Report of the Ministry of Industry and Technology published in 2020).

The secret of growth and success in the automotive industry is that the design, technology, raw material, production, and automotive logistics processes run in harmony because this branch of industry is the product of the supply chain that covers all functions between the raw material and the consumer. In line with this, working with the right solution partners for strategy, quality, cost, logistics, and design/technology management is necessary.




 

Automotive Industry's Unique Automotive Logistics Needs

The logistics processes of the automotive sector can be considered under four main headings. The first step is the ready part for production, also known as component logistics.  Then, the product prepared for the market after production, automobile logistics, constitutes the second ring of this field. Then we can talk about after-market spare parts logistics and finally second-hand automotive logistics.

Considering Türkiye's import and export processes, automotive logistics activities include introducing and handling imported vehicles, shipment to bonded parking areas, customs clearance, pre-shipment operations, and transfer to sales dealers.  In addition, automotive transport for export vehicles, loading on ships, towing vehicles to parking areas for the domestic market, and transportation to regional dealers are among the other important steps of automotive logistics. Furthermore, challenging operations such as transporting second-hand vehicles from major cities to Anatolia and supplying spare parts to service and maintenance stations are among the unique logistics needs of the automotive sector.

Professional services are needed at almost every step, from assembly to labeling of final products, and configuration of storage areas with technical facilities for testing and software services. In the automobile industry, which grows every year, the need for well-equipped national and international services in logistics and transport also continues to grow.
