The automotive industry is characterized by complex supply chains, short lead times, and decreasing product life cycles. A sound and strategic logistics model is a recognized competitive advantage in this industry. Nexus provides automotive logistics services for major car and truck manufacturers looking for synergies and cost-savings throughout their supply chain. We can support both the pre-manufacture and post-manufacture movement of parts. Nexus can also support import and export movements of finished goods or parts via freight forwarding services, drayage and transportation moves.
With an increasing number of automobile manufacturers leveraging JIT (just-in-time) strategies to yield savings, Nexus provides warehousing and transportation services in an environment that is fast-paced and designed for rapid response. Nexus has the capacity to support deliveries for programs with fluctuating inventory volumes and high order frequencies.
Nexus Transportation support is available for both outbound orders and inbound shipments. Available modes of service include pool delivery, shuttles, truckload, drayage, intermodal and LTL shipments. All Nexus warehouses are also rail-served. Nexus can also transport “heavy” import containers from the CSX Intermodal facility directly into its Bedford Park, IL warehouse via a private roadway known as the “Chicago Land Bridge”.
