OEM SOLUTIONS
GAIN SPEED AND CAPACITY
ACERTUS blends technology, infrastructure, people and expertise to ensure speed and efficiency on vehicle transports and home deliveries, provide on-demand scalability, streamline logistics and increase visibility.
MEETING OEMS' NEEDS
ACERTUS can uniquely solve challenges created by delays and capacity limits. As a platform with the largest carrier network in the country, we provide speed and access. If there is capacity in the open market, we will find it, providing OEMs with the ability to flex their logistics needs based on demand.
Over the past few years, OEMs have had to grapple with many roadblocks and challenges with intermittent plant closures due to safety concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, a shortage of critical parts, unusually high fuel costs and new competition for railcar-transport placements, paying premium prices just to keep vehicles moving.
During this time of unprecedented industry challenges, it’s more important than ever that OEMs gain the speed, capacity and visibility they need to be successful and weather the current storms.
ACERTUS can offer more flexibility, speed to market and customization – which can be an ideal option for OEMs that need to achieve speed.
Ultimately, OEMs need a simple but sophisticated method to:
- Gain access to carrier capacity
- Achieve speed to market
- Store inventory
- Gain visibility and streamline operations
VEHICLE TRANSPORT
In an industry overwhelemed by small, single-service and siloed providers, OEMs need full-service integration to ensure vehicles ship with speed, on time, to and from anywhere. Whether OEMs need to move one vehicle or 1,000, they must have access and the ability to scale up or down on demand.
SPEED TO MARKET
With the largest network of carriers and drivers in North America and well-positioned infrastructure, ACERTUS can ensure faster vehicle transports, no matter the route, distance, required capacity or where vehicles are headed.
CAPACITY
ACERTUS’ wide-reaching carrier network essentially eliminates delays due to capacity, utilizing transport carriers of multiple sizes and quickly finding the right truck to move a shipment.
SCALABILITY
ACERTUS can quickly scale up or down on-demand, based on an OEMs needs at any given time, which opens the door for better speed and operational flexibility.
VISIBILITY
With ACERTUS’ proprietary technology, OEMs gain access to greater efficiency and transparency when it comes to their assets – receiving tracking, regular updates and changes on orders in real-time.
HOME-DELIVERY SERVICE
When it comes to shopping for vehicles, an increasing number of customers are demanding home deliveries. Customers want a fast, convenient and service-focused experience, complete with their new-vehicle purchase being delivered to their driveway.
ACERTUS can assist with home deliveries, providing:
Direct-to-consumer delivery service.
Vehicle feature training, so customers can ask questions and learn how to operate their new vehicles.
White-glove service with drivers wearing company-branded gear.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE LOGISTICS
EV TRANSPORT
ACERTUS’ expert carriers and drivers are well-positioned to haul electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to and from anywhere across North America.
EV CHARGING
EVs and PHEVs can lose significant charge when being transported. ACERTUS has charging infrastructure in place to ensure EVs and PHEVs can be charged to optimal range (between 20-80% for most vehicles) before they’re picked up, transported or delivered.
STORAGE SOLUTIONS
ACERTUS has the extra space you need. We work closely with OEMs to store vehicles in the most viable and strategic markets, keeping them secure and well-cared for until they’re ready to deploy.
ACERTUS has more than 66 field locations across the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Canada.
Security of OEMs’ assets is our top priority, so all our storage locations are fully insures, highly secure and staffed by well-trained service managers.
Our teams work with OEMs to strategize and develop vehicle transport-and-storage plans that make the most sense for their unique business needs and objectives.
