Sallaum Lines: Sustainable Automotive Shipping via International Ocean Freight Services

Top 10 Automotive Logistics Services Companies in Europe - 2023

Global automotive logistics market is growing by leaps and bounds owing to growth in international trade, expansion of the e-commerce industry, and rise in free trade agreements between nations. However, stringent emission rules and regulations are prominent road bumps that restrain the growth process. While these regulations reflect a structural slump in growth, it has prompted businesses to rethink sustainable logistics alternatives that minimise environmental impact and promote a positive rise.

One way companies are ensuring it is by implementing technologies such as blockchain, that can track the origin of materials, reduce waste, and improve environmental standards throughout the supply chain. The use of green transportation, such as electric or hydrogen-powered vehicles, is also significantly contributing to green logistics in the automotive sector. The other aspect is the rising collaboration and partnerships among suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders to achieve sustainable logistics in the automotive industry. By working together, companies can share knowledge and resources, optimise supply chains, and reduce the environmental impact of their operations.

Driven by these trends, the global automotive logistics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1 percent to reach $433.6 billion by 2031.
