Penske delivers customized logistics solutions to meet specific service and cost requirements for:

• Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OEMs)
  
• Automotive Parts Manufacturers
• Aftermarket Parts Delivery for Service Centers and Retailers

We offer solutions across the supply chain including inbound logistics, production warehouse management and service parts delivery for retail and dealer service centers. Our expertise in domestic and international transportation management facilitates imports and exports of overseas or cross-border shipments with international suppliers or manufacturing facilities.

Optimize Inbound Logistics

Effectively managing your automotive inbound logistics is crucial for enhancing visibility, reliability, and cost savings. Penske can optimize your inbound logistics by sourcing and managing materials, receiving and storing inventory in warehouses, and handling reverse logistics.

You will gain insight into when your products arrive at the facility, where they are headed, how they should be handled, and how long they will stay. We provide real-time tracking and tracing of loads to identify disruptions and determine the best alternatives.

Production Warehousing

At Penske, we understand the critical role of parts sequencing networks in the automotive manufacturing process. Our management ensures that auto parts and components arrive just in time and in order, creating a seamless build sequence at your facility and reducing downtime.

Additionally, we offer sub-assembly, assembly, and kitting services to simplify processes, reduce errors, streamline operations, and improve just-in-time assembly. Penske provides properly managed, just-in-time, and just-in-sequence deliveries that allow manufacturers to reduce the amount of buffer inventory, free up capital, and reduce the risk of obsolete inventory, ensuring efficient and secure operations.

Automotive Aftermarket Parts Delivery Services

Penske will work with you to develop solutions for your freight needs. For example, we can set up shared transportation by combining freight with multiple Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Or we can provide a dedicated fleet with our dedicated contract carriage transportation. In addition, we also oversee warehousing and cross-docks, ensuring the smooth movement and delivery of parts.

Apply Industry-Tailored IT Solutions for Visibility

We employ top tier technology systems to meet specific requirements and we develop custom networks addressing service and cost concerns. Advanced technology is used to collect and analyze data, helping to optimize routes, manage drivers, and keep goods in transit.

With Penske technology, customers can track all aspects of an order, including pickup and delivery times, status, origin, destination, and part-level details. This transparency allows for comparison between requested and shipped quantities, helping to identify potential shortages as well as aids in fine-tuning production schedules and labor planning.
