XPO Logistics celebrates decade of partnership with Mobis Parts Europe with investment in new liveried trailers
XPO and Mobis Parts Europe have extended their ten-year partnership, extending their agreement effective June 2023, following the initial contract in 2014.
Over the past ten years, the partnership between XPO and Mobis has grown and strengthened, with Mobis becoming one of the highest volume customers in the XPO Shared User Network. More recently, XPO has invested in nine new Double Deck trailers outfitted with bespoke Mobis livery, which are set to be delivered in Q2 of 2024.
XPO provides Mobis with various logistics solutions from the client site in Dordon, Staffordshire. Services include UK Mainland ‘In Night’ Pre-8 am deliveries, Offshore 24/48-hour delivery services, and Full Truckload (FTL) deliveries to select dealerships.
Rocky Vasudeva, General Manager at Mobis Parts UK, highlights the value that XPO has brought over the last decade: “Working with XPO Logistics has consistently allowed us to streamline and improve our operations, as well as embrace new logistics technology and techniques to ensure that we are serving our customers to the highest standards.
“One of the most rewarding aspects of working with XPO is that we share goals regarding reducing the environmental footprint of our supply chain activities. I look forward to continuing and growing our collaboration over the next years,” he added.
The two companies' focus is on the automotive sector. Working together, XPO and Mobis supply and deliver parts to an extensive network of dealers and authorised repair facilities representing the Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis brands.
As this partnership enters its next phase, both XPO Logistics and Mobis Parts Europe are committed to leveraging their combined expertise and innovative solutions to meet the fast-changing needs of the automotive industry. In addition to continuing a successful business collaboration, this renewed contract is an important stepping stone towards more sustainable, efficient, and innovative logistics solutions in the years ahead.
Dan Myers, managing director, UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, said: “Mobis is a team that lives its company’s values. Over our decade together, we have been working to extend and integrate the values of customer first, daring execution, communication, and cooperation, all underpinned by respect for the people who are part of aftersales logistics operations. We know there is still more to do, and together, we’re committed to continuing this exciting journey.”
