Hyundai Glovis establishes Amsterdam logistics hub

Hyundai Glovis, the logistics unit of Hyundai Motor Company, is establishing its first dedicated European vehicle logistics hub in the Netherlands — Amsterdam, Netherlands. This initiative, formalized through an agreement with the Netherlands — Amsterdam and Zeus Logistics Group, aims to strengthen Hyundai Glovis's European distribution operations and improve vehicle deliveries across the European Union. The new 480,000 sq m facility, scheduled to begin operations in January 2027, will feature berths for three pure car and truck carriers, storage for over 20,000 vehicles, pre-delivery inspection centers, and direct rail connections. This hub will provide a one-stop logistics service, covering maritime shipping to inland distribution, and is expected to stabilize import/export logistics for Hyundai Motor and Kia while expanding non-affiliate business. The strategic location in Amsterdam is intended to enhance inland transportation competitiveness, particularly for markets like Germany and the Benelux countries, which account for a significant portion of European car sales. The project also aims to reduce carbon emissions by increasing rail transport and optimizing vessel turnaround times.
