CASE STUDY

SCALING TOYOTA IMPORTS

We helped Toyota maintain their leading marketshare in Vietnam through expanding parking from 300 to 1,000 spots and delivering on-site PDI services at the only RoRo enabled port in South Vietnam. This reduced costs, lowered emissions and sped up delivery by removing the need for external inspection facilities.
