Following the previous two editions of the Auto SCM Summit in Pune, the Automotive Supply Chain Summit once again took place on 5th- 6th December 2018 at the Courtyard Marriott in Chakan, Pune.

The event brought together the whole sector from supply chain managers of automotive manufacturers and logistics service providers to participate in a lively and interactive exchange in order to further optimize the supply chain.

“Barring few tailwinds and a little slump in the last few months, the auto industry in India is sail to grow,” said Mr. Huned Gandhi, Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics Indian Subcontinent. “The rise in investments, policy support and the interest of the companies in exploring new markets across India will aid the growth of the sector,” he added while discussing on the inaugural panel discussion of the event on the first day.

Constant evolution of new technologies

During the Q&A session, new trends in automotive, the constant evolution of new technologies and best practices as well as the role of 3PL service providers were discussed.

Mr. Gandhi used the opportunity to share insights about DACHSER’s IT strength which became even more relevant in a fast-moving world of digital transformation. More than 700 people worldwide help to develop own core systems for transport and warehouse management.

The fully integrated indigenous systems reflect operations and support interlocked processes across different transport modes to create more efficiency and transparency. DACHSER India is currently rolling out Othello, the company’s worldwide transport management system, which will lead to a new level of IT integration and visibility.

Rail service market updates | December 2021

According to statistics, the number of freight trains running between China and Europe has increased 15 times compared to 2015, reaching the number of more than 12,000 trains in 2020. In 2021, a further increase was recorded and the Trans-Siberian route experienced even greater demand in times of the pandemic due to a lack of sea and air freight capacity. However, the pandemic impact was also evident on Rail Service connections between China and Europe.

  • Current Situation and Review 2021

As experienced during the year, the situation remains challenging. The shortage of container equipment and increased slot restrictions, comparable to the sea freight market, have also become problematic for rail service. In addition, pandemic regulations as well as weather conditions have led to backlogs at border crossings. The rates are increased, but stable.

  • Outlook 2022

The situation will remain challenging until Chinese New Year, but it is expected that the slot management setup will improve thereafter. Overall, the demand on capacity will continue to grow significantly in 2022.

DACHSER offers multimodal, reliable rail services with an extensive coverage, connecting economic centers of major importance in China and Europe. Via the North Corridor, the Trans-Siberian Route connects Hamburg, Warsaw, Vienna and Bratislava with the Chinese main terminal cities including Changchun, Shenyang, Suzhou and Dongguan. To and from Duisburg, Hamburg, Neuss, Ludwigshafen, Vienna, Bratislava and Warsaw, DACHSER serves the South Corridor, also known as New Silk Road, to the Chinese hinterland areas of Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing and Zhengzhou.

Not only Block Trains but also Full Container Load (FCL) service is possible on this service, as well as Less-Than-Container-Load (LCL) which includes Consolidation Container Services (LCL-LCL) and Customer Consolidations (LCL-FCL).

Should you require any other departure terminals and/or destinations like the ones mentioned above or some more detailed information on Rail Services, your DACHSER contact will be glad to assist.
