Kuehne+Nagel and Changan Automobile, a Chinese car manufacturer, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop aftermarket logistics for electric vehicle models across the European market, including the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and France.
The Chinese brand is expected to benefit from Kuehne+Nagel’s expertise in spare part logistics, especially through its automotive campus located in Helmond, the Netherlands, a 22,000m² multi-customer site.
The partnership also addresses other aspects of electric vehicles, such as battery logistics and end-of-life solutions.
“With our extensive expertise in automotive logistics and strategically located facilities in Europe, we can deliver reliable supply chain solutions to support Changan Automobile’s ambitious growth plans,” adds Gianfranco Sgro, Executive Vice President Contract Logistics and Integrated Logistics at Kuehne+Nagel International AG. “Our network and experience provide a strong foundation for helping emerging brands from China and Asia expand into new markets.”
