Logistics, NEVs in focus for next phase of automotive industry growth

Efficient logistics to move vehicles and automotive components up and down the value chain and adapting the local industry to new energy vehicles (NEVs) is crucial to shape the trajectory of the industry into the future, industry development agency Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC) chairperson Meloney van Eck said this week. Speaking at a Gauteng government- and AIDC-hosted automotive industry roundtable discussion, in Midrand, on May 9, she said it was important for industry leaders and experts to discuss logistics in the automotive sector and to explore the growing NEV landscape to shape the way forward for the industry.
