Automotive
High gear or low, we keep it moving
We move the steady, high-volume freight that keeps a line supplied and the urgent parts that recover one at risk. Components and finished vehicles, across every supplier, plant, and border your business runs on.

WHO we serve
From the supplier dock to the dealer lot
Automotive logistics spans the whole chain, from the supplier shipping a single part to the manufacturer moving finished vehicles to market. Some moves run on a tight clock. All of them run on a plan.
- OEMs & vehicle manufacturers: Your plants run to the minute, whether that means a steady inbound program feeding the line or a recovery when a part goes missing. You need a partner who can run the routine reliably and treat an emergency the way you do.
- Tier 1 & component suppliers: You’re accountable to the manufacturer for parts that have to arrive on time, every time. That means dependable planned moves as the baseline and lift that can recover the schedule when one is at risk.
- Aftermarket & parts distributors: Demand spikes, dealer networks, and inventory that has to be in the right place at the right time. We keep parts flowing across regions at a steady cadence and surge with you when demand does.
- Global manufacturing operations: Suppliers in Mexico, plants in Germany, components from China, and assembly in the US. We move across the borders and modes that your operation already spans, with the customs and compliance handled.
why national air cargo
Built for the everyday. Ready for the exceptional.
Most automotive freight moves on a rate card, submitted through your RFQ and priced to the lane. We do that work at scale and do it well. What sets us apart is what happens when a shipment won’t fit the card, the oversized part or the sudden recovery a fixed service tier can’t absorb. We handle both with the same discipline.
Everyday freight handled at scale
From regular cross-border programs to high-volume parts flow and planned inbound to the line. We run the steady majority of automotive freight with the same rigor we bring to the hard moves, priced to your RFQ and delivered to the schedule.
No two moves look the same
Whether it’s an oversized component, a sudden line-down recovery, or a part stranded at a supplier with hours to spare, we engineer the movement around the problem.
Certified across every dangerous goods class
EV batteries, pyrotechnic components, hazardous and regulated parts. All nine dangerous goods classes, handled compliantly according to IATA, so the cargo that complicates your supply chain doesn’t slow it down.
Built to keep moving when a route fails
A grounded flight or a backed-up border doesn’t end the shipment. We shift across air, ocean, truck, and rail, keeping the part on track when a route closes.
Sized to the stakes
We size each move to the situation as it unfolds. Fast and dedicated when minutes cost thousands, steady and economical when they don’t. You get the right level of service for the shipment.
