ONTIME DISTRIBUTION
CENTRES
Ontime Distribution Centres are the cornerstone of manufacturers’ distribution networks. Once passed to sales and prepared for distribution, cars are quickly transferred from the production site to the Distribution Centre, for containerisation or for consolidation into efficient loads for despatch.
Alternatively, they can be held awaiting finance release or for a vessel window to open at a port.

Logistics requirements
Apart from shipping new vehicles to market, OEMs have many other requirements for vehicle logistics services. With decades of experience in supporting vehicle manufacturers in all areas of their business, the Ontime team are experts in meeting all your needs for non-production logistics.
Whether it be for launch events, motor shows, climate testing or even moving clay models or bucks under controlled conditions, Ontime has a cost-effective solution to support your logistics needs.

In this space, you’d usually find brand names, event highlights, or notable figures. Our approach, however, is simple: we maintain strict confidentiality regarding our clients. The strong trust we’ve cultivated over decades is something we deeply value and protect. That said, we truly appreciate it when clients choose to share their experiences with us publicly.
