Driving for xiaolü (efficiency) Planning, outsourcing, exporting and the next logistics trends for China Huge resources are being dedicated to the infrastructure of automotive logistics in China. With car sales projected to be close to 20 million in 2012, such investment is to be expected. What is unexpected in a country rushing towards modernity, is that the organisation of logistics, its xiaolü (efficiency), is struggling to keep up. | | | Watch a short video of our Automotive Logistics Global 2011 conference |
Whether it be the development of significant 3PLs, the fusion of micro haulage companies into operators with scale, the implementation of modern planning tools, or the emergence of one-stop services covering transport + warehousing + consolidation, many of the critical elements of effective logistics are slow to emerge.
The challenge in China is efficiency. Which is why the 2012 Automotive Logistics China conference chooses ‘Driving for xiaolü’ as its theme.
Now in its 9th year, and again in partnership with the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing (CFLP), the conference will bring together executives from OEMs and Tier 1s with service providers of all types, in a truly unique gathering. More than 300 delegates will network, meet, learn and do business.
The conference will again be a forum where the domestic market meets international expertise. But it will also again see domestic OEMs describe their part in one of the big emerging trends, vehicle exports from China, and one stream of the meeting is dedicated to the subject.
