The automotive industry relies on complex logistics to manage the flow of parts to assembly plants worldwide. It produces passenger vehicles, light and heavy trucks, buses, RVs, motorcycles, and auto parts.
In 2021, global car sales rebounded to over 80 million units after a pandemic-related dip in 2020. However, microchip shortages continue to constrain production.
The auto industry is transitioning to electric vehicles, smart mobility technology, and autonomous driving capabilities. EV sales reached 6.6 million units globally in 2021.
Motor vehicles account for nearly one-fifth of U.S. oil consumption. The shift to EVs provides environmental benefits but also disrupts the supply chain.
The motor vehicle manufacturing subsector directly employs over 907,000 U.S. workers. The dealership network employs over 1.5 million.
The auto industry contributes 3-3.5% of the total GDP in the U.S. and EU. It stimulates employment across related sectors like materials, logistics, and insurance.
Auto manufacturing drives innovation in lightweight materials, battery technology, sensing, software, and more. These advancements benefit other industries.
Globally, one in seven jobs is in the automotive sector. Vehicle sales and manufacturing are vital to many regional economies.
Cars, trucks, armored vehicles, aircraft carriers, and other defense equipment rely on the auto industry.
Motor vehicles facilitate the movement of people and goods, enabling economic activity and mobility.
Autos remain essential for emergency response, law enforcement, and critical service delivery.
In auto manufacturing, optimized material flow is crucial. Our conveyor systems accelerate the assembly process and minimize errors. Roller chain and belt conveyors smoothly transport parts between workstations on the production line. This optimizes workflow and prevents backups. Conveyors can handle small clips or massive vehicle bodies with equal efficacy. Custom guides and supports allow the safe transport of fragile components like glass or delicate wire harnesses. When integrated with AGVs, our conveyors enable flexible just-in-time delivery of parts to point-of-use. This lean manufacturing integration reduces in-process inventory costs.
In automotive recycling facilities, heavy-duty D4 Caterpillar track conveyors feed entire end-of-life vehicles into shredders. The shredded material drops onto inclined roller chain conveyors for transport to sorting systems. Powerful electromagnetic drums separate ferrous metals, while eddy current separators recover non-ferrous aluminum and copper. Additional conveyors remove rubber, glass, and plastic fractions.
Whether you are producing new vehicles or sustainably recovering resources from old ones, Fluent Conveyors has a conveyor solution for you. Our engineering experts will custom-design a system optimized for your unique manufacturing or recycling needs. With rugged welded steel construction and easy maintenance access, our conveyors deliver maximum uptime and reliability for the long haul.
