Private Fleet
A private fleet refers to a company's own fleet of vehicles used to transport its goods, rather than relying on third-party carriers. It is a critical component of a wider in-house logistics strategy, where a company manages its entire supply chain internally.
The primary benefits of operating a private fleet are strategic: it provides absolute control over delivery schedules and service quality. This dedicated capacity helps mitigate the risks of market volatility and external disruptions, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and supply chain resilience. For manufacturers, a private fleet is a powerful asset for ensuring product integrity and maintaining customer satisfaction.
Daiwa Steel Tube Industries (DSTI) in Japan, the founding company of o2Oh, is advancing the effective utilization of its private fleet to address Japan's logistics crisis.
