24 September 2015 Autotrans Logistics have been awarded the round-trip transportation of 14 Nissan racing vehicles from Silverstone racing circuit (Towcester, UK) to Yas Marina iconic track (Abu Dhabi, UAE) and back. These vehicles will be used for the 2015 edition of the GT Academy Finals, during which the program will be taken to the next level. Didier Coulibaly, Head of Specific and Urgent Transport activity at Autotrans says, "When shipping high-value and time sensitive cargo as this is, it is vital to have close control of the complete transportation chain. Supply Chain control is one of our specialties at Autotrans and by offering Nissan a holistic and competitive solution where we ensure the vehicles reach their final destination in time, we were awarded the transportation." The 14 vehicles were sent from the UK to Abu Dhabi to be used on demanding challenges at the thriving Yas Marina track. On top of these racing cars, Nissan will make use of the desert sand dunes to test one of the vehicles that has initially been built for driving on snow.
