31 March

Discussions at Finished Vehicle Logistics North America 2025 are sure to focus on trends in the North American FVL market, such as mergers and acquisitions, and increasing digitalisation.

Recently, we have seen OEMs implementing Control Towers, and in some cases gaining more control over FVL flows, as can be seen in the case of Volkswagen North America trying to reduce costs in finished vehicle logistics and its raw materials. A rise in mergers and acquisitions is also happening as the industry consolidates - with the recent example of Jack Cooper winding down operations in a turbulent market.

This year’s event comes at a pivotal moment as the industry works to ramp up vehicle deliveries in the face of production growth, rail and port congestion, labour shortages, and the shift to electric vehicles. Over three days, the event will explore how OEMs, logistics providers, rail and ocean carriers, service companies, and technology innovators are investing in smarter, more connected, and more resilient logistics operations.
