Volkswagen Mexico’s story of overcoming production challenges
When Volkswagen Mexico got caught up in the throes of production hitting a pause, they didn’t let it deter them. Instead, they decided to innovate and find new ways to transport their cars. This is the story of their partnership with Maersk and how they harnessed the power of cars in containers to meet their growing export demands.

Making sense of complexity
Automotive supply chains have become even more complex. Today, the two drivetrains – internal combustion and electric – are sharing space on vehicle production lines. The epicentre of battery production has shifted to regional geographies, and technologies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are evolving at a pace that demands quick and seamless turnarounds.
With increasing customer demands and expectations, more parts are going into vehicles than ever before. As a component manufacturer, you now face an inherent need to produce more components than the OEMs themselves.
In the context of this industry-wide transformation, Antonio Fondevilla, Global Automotive Vertical Head of Maersk, explains the role that logistics can play in navigating this disruptive landscape.
Every component matters
Tens of thousands of components – big and small – go into the marvel that is an automobile. This means that all the parts need to be in the right place at the right time. Delays are not acceptable as they risk slowing down the assembly line.
