“K” Line Auto Logistics Philippines starts services for finished vehicles
In the Philippines where sales of automobile are remarkable, logistics services for finished vehicles have started operations. K Line Auto Logistics Philippines, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “KALP”), a joint venture between “K” LINE and local partners, has signed a contract with a major automobile manufacturer and started to work together with them from this November, “K” Line said in its press release.
In Asia, where automobile sales are becoming active, especially within the ASEAN region, demand for finished car distribution is increasing, such as improving the efficiency of supply chains to transport and sales of imported/manufactured automobiles. In particular, the Philippine’s domestic distribution demand of finished vehicles is increasing, such as new car sales in the Philippines having recorded highest totals for 5 consecutive years. In 2017, an increase of about 16% was also recorded, so KALP will be a service that further responds to local customer needs.
KALP provides High Quality and Value Added services for Import customs clearance, land transportation, storage, and Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI).
Launching of KALP’s automobile logistics-related service will be the 10th (tenth) country, with service now covering major ASEAN countries.
