Vehicle Processing & PDI

No two vehicle programs are identical. Model mix, transport protection, market requirements, accessory scope and release criteria all affect the work required before delivery. We define the process with the customer, then establish the sequence, quality checkpoints, reporting and exception workflow.

Services can be delivered as a focused intervention or integrated with storage and onward distribution.

• Vehicle inspection – condition checks performed against agreed customer instructions and acceptance criteria.
• Car wash and cleaning – preparation for inspection, processing, presentation or market release.
• Dewaxing – removal of transport-protection coatings where required by the vehicle program.
• CarDoc and documentation – placement of manuals, labels, stickers and market-specific information.
• Protective wrapping – application or removal of protective film according to the agreed process.
• Technical and cosmetic work – program-specific services configured around available facilities, competence and approved scope.
• Final release checks – verification that the required processing steps are complete before handover.

Quality is managed through clear work instructions, defined checkpoints and traceable exception handling. The operating standard should specify what is checked, how acceptance is recorded, who approves deviations and what happens when a vehicle requires additional work.

This structure helps protect consistency across batches while giving the customer visibility of issues that may affect release.

Vehicles can move directly from storage into processing, return to protected allocation after completion or be staged for collection and onward transport. Coordinating these steps within one terminal plan reduces unnecessary transfers and gives customers one operational view of the cargo flow.
