Electronics Delivery of Microprocessors for Hybrid Car Manufacturing
Electronics delivery plays a vital role in the rising demand for hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs). As noted by Vita Global, the global electric fleet rose to 40 million in 2023 and grew by 24% in 2024. Additionally, experts predict that electric vehicles will account for 95% of all vehicle sales by 2035, driven by the push for Net-Zero Emissions.
The case below introduces how Royale International provides logistics support for the shift in the automotive industry by ensuring Time Critical delivery of electronic components and products.
How does Time Critical electronics delivery help hybrid car revolution?
An electronics manufacturer based in Thailand recently tasked Royale International to deliver an urgent and complex electronics shipment of 120 cartons (approximately 960 kilograms) of microprocessors. The recipient is a prominent automotive company in Germany, aiding in the development of hybrid vehicles systems like battery management and energy-efficient motors. This delivery supported the automotive industry’s shift toward more sustainable transportation solutions.
What to consider when urgently shipping large volumes of electronics?
- Weight Limitations and Customs Regulations
With 120 cartons weighing nearly a ton, managing the large volume of goods was a critical challenge. Ensuring there were no delays, and no single courier was overwhelmed required meticulous planning and coordination. In addition, some customs offices have stringent export regulations that could delay a large shipment.
- Sensitivity of Microprocessors
Microprocessors are highly sensitive to both physical damage and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Mishandling could result in costly damages, delays, or defects, making the need for precise electronics delivery paramount.
- Pricey Flight Options
The client required a secure yet cost-effective logistics solution. With such a high-value shipment, it was important to find the best delivery methods that would not compromise on speed & safety but also kept shipping costs controlled.
How did Royale meet these electronics delivery requirements?
Tailored Solutions for Large Volume Jobs
To manage the large volume, the shipment was split into five equal parts, each containing a portion of the microprocessors. By utilising five different couriers strategically located across Thailand, we ensured that the shipment was distributed fairly. This approach minimised the risk of congestion or delays at any point in the journey, allowing for a smooth and timely electronics delivery process.
Re-packing for Safe, Secure Transport
Recognising the delicate nature of the microprocessors, repacking was a critical part of the solution. The components were re-packaged into 40 smaller, more manageable bags, making them easier to handle and providing additional protection during transit. Each bag was specially designed under ISO, AEO and IATA guidelines to shield the microprocessors whilst committing to its rapid transit.
Global Control Towers on Stand-by
Our Global Control Towers enable real-time tracking and management of shipments across multiple regional offices. These towers monitor and propose cost-effective electronics delivery options throughout the shipping process. By continuously assessing routes and costs, we ensured that the client received the most competitive rates within 30-minutes from initial quotation.
Royale International delivered the shipment to Germany on time without complications, allowing the manufacturer to keep production on schedule. The team strategically divided the shipment and optimised the delivery route to minimise costs without compromising speed. Additionally, this seamless execution prevented costly line-down situations and ensured uninterrupted operations for the automotive company.
