Iveco has awarded Kuehne + Nagel with a renewal of its current logistics service contract for a further period of three years.

The logistics solution that is provided by the latter comprises the management of five regional spare parts distribution centers in Turin (Italy), Langenau (Germany), Madrid (Spain), Trappes (France) and Winsford (UK). The current scope of business consists of operating a total of 300,000 sq meters of logistics space with between 80,000 to 160,000 stock-keeping units per depot.

Another important element of this integrated logistics offering is the entire distribution of stock via overnight shipments by Kuehne + Nagel’s automotive distribution network throughout Europe, covering regions such as Ireland, Scandinavia, Benelux and Portugal among others.

The annual flow of nine million order lines, ranging from small components to entire engine blocks, totals to over 60,000 tons of outgoing cargo. Under the contract, Kuehne + Nagel will introduce a set of enhancements, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and pick-by-voice technologies.
