Import Export North America

With North American light vehicle sales headed for 19.8m units this year, there’s never been a more vital time to look for big improvements in the practical execution of logistics.

Rolling and sailing over the horizon is not just volume, but a significantly-changed pattern of flows.  Dramatic expansion of Mexico production and the strong dollar demand a new approach to the challenges of capacity and efficiency.
