Vector trumpets success of auto visibility solution May 18, 2006

Vector SCM, the global logistics management joint venture between Con-way and General Motors, said it has successfully rolled out its European Vehicle Visibility (EUVV) program for General Motors Europe (GME), providing outbound logistics visibility and exception management of finished vehicles to all GME dealers across Europe covering all modes.

In directing a network of more than 70 outbound service providers moving some 1.7 million GM vehicles to 54 countries annually, Vector provides visibility to some 11 million shipments per year, supporting finished vehicle delivery for two GM brands.

Vector said its management program, which leverages the company’s process-driven methodologies and engineering capabilities in automotive logistics, has generated benefits across several key areas, including: an average transit time reduction of 2.5 days; improved delivery consistency and contract reliability; and more accurate and timely network visibility.

“With the proven success of this program, we are launching the next stage of deployment to support other GM brands in Europe,” said Joerg Parnet, Europe region managing director for Vector. “The higher volume will drive additional economies of scale and greater value to all parties in the network.”
