The distinction recognises XPO’s commitment to excellence as a logistics operator for Nissan’s Sunderland plant in 2016, when over half a million vehicles were manufactured at the facility.
XPO provides transport services for the collection of production parts from Nissan’s suppliers in Spain and Portugal, consolidates them at its Bilbao facility in northern Spain, and routes them to Nissan's Sunderland plant.
Says Nissan Sunderland production control director Keith Chambers: "Our Sunderland plant requires a strong and reliable supply chain in order to achieve its daily production targets, and we trust XPO to deliver that. We are confident that XPO's expertise in the automotive sector is best suited for our requirements and supports our programme for operational efficiencies."
Adds XPO Logistics Europe managing director of transport Luis Gomez: “We are proud to receive this award from Nissan for the fourth consecutive year, and value our partnership as a trusted logistics provider of more than 20 years. Our XPO-Nissan teams will continue working together, committed to meeting the demands of production and continuously improving performance.”
