This is an excellent way to begin our new partnership.”
Chevrolet transport manager James Ash said: “We are very pleased with the service provided by Autologic and ECM. It was no small feat but [they] were able to deliver 348 Sparks, four per retailer, in 35 transporters to our 87 sites across the country ahead of our national launch.”
