Penske's Lead Logistics Provider services focus on the optimization of freight via inbound and outbound transportation of parts to and from the factory. Penske will also manage a variety of full-truckload and less-than-truckload third-party trucking carriers in this process.

To support these efforts, Penske will use its ClearChain Technology Suite, which includes propriety and leading-edge software tools. These technologies, which include predictive analytics and robotic process automation, will provide increased supply chain transparency for the operations leadership at BMW.
