Enclosed Transport for Aston Martin Lagonda

Background:

Aston Martin Lagonda faced a short-term increase in production volume, requiring a rapid and secure logistics solution to move high-value sports cars from its Gaydon manufacturing facility to multiple endpoints, including domestic storage yards, UK ports for export, and air cargo terminals for international delivery.

Key Requirements

• Enclosed transport only to protect premium vehicles from weather, road debris, and unwanted public exposure
• Time-sensitive operations to meet tight export and delivery windows
• Multi-destination routing with split deliveries
• White-glove handling for luxury vehicles, many of which were bound for VIP clients or dealerships worldwide

Execution

• Russells deployed a fleet of enclosed car carriers, capable of transporting multiple low-clearance vehicles in protected compartments.
• Operations were scalable, with trucks running multiple shifts daily to accommodate peak volume.
• Vehicles were securely loaded directly at Gaydon and dispatched to:
  • UK vehicle storage compounds
  • Major seaports for RoRo or container shipping
  • Heathrow and other airports for air freight handling

Logistics Features

• Real-time vehicle tracking and check-in/check-out at each stop
• Protective wrapping and detailing checks before loading
• Compliance with export and aviation handling requirements
• Use of ATA Carnets or customs documentation where needed for temporary transfers

Outcome

Over the course of the short-term distribution period, Aston Martin successfully cleared hundreds of high-value vehicles from its Gaydon plant without delays or damage. Enclosed transport ensured each car was delivered in flawless condition, preserving brand integrity and meeting elevated customer expectations.
