About the Finished Vehicle Logistics North America - Seizing opportunities, driving transformation.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the pacific ocean at Huntington Beach, California, FVL North America will once again bring together vehicle logistics leaders, experts, and key stakeholders from across OEMs, carriers, logistics service providers, and technology and equipment specialists.
OEMs, dealers, and customers must adapt to lower vehicle inventory, more advanced pipeline ordering, and rising expectations for sustainability. Supply chain and logistics disruptions, worsening driver shortages, and rising costs will require greater collaboration and innovation.
Registration is now available on the Automotive Logistics event website. OEMs and LSPs can contact their ICL Sales Rep for discount codes.
Tom Swennes will join Toyota North America for a main stage session.
With dealer inventories at an all-time low and end-consumer expectations rising sharply, providing accurate and reliable ETAs has become pivotal to optimize the vehicle logistics value chain and to deliver a superior customer experience and improved service.
Tom will join Kevin Austin, Vice President of Demand and Supply Management, Toyota Motor North America, and Manny Bansi, Vice President of Toyota Vehicle Logistics, Toyota Motor North America, to discuss how we are collectively developing advanced tools and systems and utilizing new technology to provide improved visibility and more accurate tracking and planning of assets and operations.
