Global project forwarder deugro has successfully concluded an eight-year logistics campaign, which involved the transportation of 140 oversized car bodies from various manufacturing facilities in Europe to their final destination in Salt Lake City, Utah. This extensive project, executed between 2018 and 2026, was a complex door-to-door operation.
The logistical challenge necessitated a highly coordinated multimodal relay. This included the use of road transport for initial and final mile delivery, river barges for inland European waterways, ocean-going roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) vessels for transatlantic shipping, and rail transport within North America. The project also involved the development of custom saddles to secure the oversized cargo and focused on achieving cost efficiencies throughout the supply chain.
