    Complete vehicles

    Being the first logistics service provider to offer complete automotive assembly, we provide our customers with established process expertise. Benefit from our experience in building electric vehicles and light trucks, enabling innovative solutions for the assembly of automotive parts.

    Quality you can rely on: On-site car assembly

    We set up our automotive assembly lines directly on your factory premises or near them to ensure seamless and efficient integration into your production. Transportation to the assembly line works either in a clocked manner or directly via a conveyor connection.

    Using processes and production systems developed in-house, we provide the highest quality standards. In addition to assembly for automotive production lines, our comprehensive services include the design of hall and factory layouts, process simulation and the development of container systems that guarantee an optimal production sequence.

    Frequently asked questions

    We use various measures to successfully ensure quality in car assembly, including inline quality controls, automatic monitoring systems and regular spot checks. We also apply standardized processes and ISO certifications to ensure that the assembly quality meets the requirements of automotive production.

    Major challenges in automotive production include the complexity of the models, the requirements for individualization and the implementation of new technologies while ensuring high-quality standards and optimizing costs. With our expertise in assembly for automotive production lines and rigorous quality standards, we are ideally equipped to handle these challenges. Whether it is adapting production to changing models or training staff for new processes – our know-how and years of experience allow us to respond flexibly to your requirements.

    Just in time (JIT) means that components for automotive production are supplied precisely when they are needed in the assembly process. Just in sequence (JIS) extends this concept by delivering the parts in the order in which they are fitted to the vehicle. Both concepts help to minimize storage costs and optimize the flow of materials. However, they require precise planning of automotive assembly processes by the automotive industry as well as close cooperation with suppliers.

    Logistics is a decisive factor in the assembly of automotive components. As a logistics service provider, Rhenus ensures that the required parts are delivered on time and guarantees that the assembly process runs smoothly. From handling parts to storing and providing them on the production line, logistics influences the efficiency of the entire assembly chain. With efficient logistics processes, we reduce bottlenecks, save costs and optimize production speed.
