Stellantis North America Selects ICL and Agillence to Advance Finished Vehicle Logistics Network Optimization

As finished vehicle logistics networks become more dynamic and cost-sensitive, OEMs are increasingly investing in advanced optimization and scenario modeling capabilities. Stellantis North America has selected ICL, in collaboration with Agillence, to support optimization initiatives across its finished vehicle logistics network in North America. 

The initiative will focus on improving transportation efficiency, enhancing dealer-level routing analysis, and strengthening multimodal logistics planning through advanced scenario modeling and network optimization capabilities. 

As part of the engagement, ICL’s Rubicon team will leverage Agillence’s Lean Logistics Optimizer (ALLO) platform to support data-driven logistics planning and operational decision-making. 

This collaboration reflects the growing importance of flexible, resilient, and analytics-driven finished vehicle logistics strategies as OEMs continue to navigate evolving transportation demands, capacity constraints, and changing market conditions. 

Automotive manufacturers continue to face increasing pressure to optimize vehicle distribution networks while responding to changing transportation capacity, evolving dealer demand patterns, and ongoing supply chain disruption. As a result, network modeling and scenario-based optimization are becoming increasingly important tools for improving agility, cost efficiency, and service performance. 

Supporting Smarter Automotive Logistics Decisions 

Finished vehicle logistics networks are increasingly complex. OEMs must balance: 

• Transportation costs  
• Dealer delivery performance 
• Port and VPC capacity  
• Rail and truck constraints  
• Inventory flow  
• Network resiliency  

This initiative is expected to provide enhanced capabilities to evaluate alternative routing strategies, optimize transportation flows, and analyze network scenarios that support both operational performance and long-term strategic planning. 

The solution is expected to help: 

• Improve vehicle flow across the network  
• Improve flow through ports and VPCs 
• Enhance transportation efficiency  
• Improve responsiveness to disruptions and volume changes  
• Support cost-saving initiatives  

Combining Technology, Data, and Industry Expertise 

ICL continues to help automotive manufacturers modernize finished vehicle logistics through integrated software and operational expertise. 

With over 30 years of automotive logistics experience, ICL’s solutions support: 

• VIN-level visibility  
• Real-time transportation tracking  
• Network optimization  
• Predictive ETAs  
• Rail shipment visibility  
• Yard management  
• Automated invoice auditing  
• GHG emissions tracking  

Combined with Agillence’s advanced optimization capabilities, the collaboration provides Stellantis with a scalable, data-driven framework for continuous logistics improvement. 

Brian Hook, President and CEO of ICL, and Srini Paruchuri, Vice President of Customer Strategy and Solutions at Agillence, stated: 

“We are pleased to support Stellantis in advancing its network optimization initiatives through a data-driven, scenario-based approach that enables more efficient and resilient logistics decision-making.”
