From Export to Execution: What “China Speed” Means for Global Automotive Logistics
Fresh from the automotive logistics conference in Shanghai, this perspective piece explores a shift that’s becoming impossible to ignore. While much of the conversation around China’s growth still centres on cost and policy, what stood out most was something less talked about — the sheer pace at which decisions are made, markets are entered, and supply chains are built in real time.
In this post, Louis reflects on how that “China speed” is reshaping the demands on global logistics. From tightening capacity and evolving supply chain models to the growing importance of certainty over cost, he shares key observations on what this means for OEMs operating internationally — and why logistics is now central to whether that global strategy succeeds or fails.
