Peter Janczewski, Senior Vice President of Sales at Draiver, joins Driving Solutions to discuss how automakers are rethinking vehicle logistics to improve visibility, speed, and operational efficiency. As OEM supply chains grow more complex, Janczewski explains why fragmented logistics models are no longer sustainable and how unified platforms are helping streamline vehicle movement from plant to dealer—or directly to consumers.

The conversation explores how Draiver consolidates multiple logistics functions into a single operational layer, enabling real-time tracking, faster delivery timelines, and improved coordination across vendors. Janczewski also highlights the growing importance of fleet management, where downtime can significantly impact profitability, and outlines how AI is being used to optimize routing and execution. As the industry evolves toward direct-to-consumer delivery and autonomous mobility, logistics is becoming a critical driver of both efficiency and customer experience.

Key discussion points:

  •  How unified platforms streamline plant-to-consumer vehicle movement 
  •  Reducing delivery timelines and improving real-time tracking 
  •  The financial impact of fleet downtime and operational inefficiencies
