New/Finished Vehicle Logistics

New/Finished Vehicle Logistics refers to the comprehensive planning, coordination, and execution of transporting newly manufactured vehicles from production facilities to their final destinations—typically dealerships, distribution centers, or end customers.

This process involves a complex supply chain that must account for vehicle readiness, route optimization, delivery timelines, customs clearance (if cross-border), and multi-modal transport, including truck, rail, and sometimes ship.

At Interlane, we support OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and fleet operators by offering scalable logistics solutions tailored to high-volume vehicle distribution. This includes real-time tracking, inventory visibility, and proactive issue resolution to ensure timely and damage-free delivery.

The logistics for new or finished vehicles must also consider seasonal demand, compliance with transportation regulations, and coordination with third-party logistics providers. Whether shipping within Canada or across the U.S. border, precision and reliability are key to maintaining inventory flow and meeting dealership expectations.

In summary:

  • Covers transport of brand-new vehicles from factories to dealers or buyers
  • Involves planning across truck, rail, and occasionally ship transport
  • Supports OEMs and fleet companies with scalable logistics services
