DHL Supply Chain has identified a competitive advantage in providing complementary outbound logistics services as car users turn to monthly subscriptions
People are not necessarily looking to own their cars these days, with a growing (usually urban) customer base preferring the vehicle as a service rather than a possession that sits idle for more than 80% of the time.
The automotive market is responding by offering a range of options for car users. Leasing and rental options from fleet operators and dealers are well established. There is also now a trend for sub-rental, where a customer hires a car for just a few hours from a growing range of providers.
However, the growth and success of these burgeoning mobility services depend on the finished vehicle logistics underpinning the delivery, collection and inspection of the cars or vans being deployed.
DHL Supply Chain has identified a competitive advantage in providing complementary services for another emerging mobility trend that it is keen to exploit.
