ITS Logistics launched its Battery Logistics Hubs, a dedicated network of integrated distribution space and transportation solutions that provide greater flexibility within the lithium-ion battery sector.
“The EV transition is still accelerating, but companies are now facing headwinds that could cause significant demand fluctuation,” says Kasia Wenker, VP of solutions engineering at ITS Logistics. “In this type of environment, a fixed facility optimized for the lowest cost during ideal conditions quickly becomes a liability. The flexibility to scale with demand while maintaining operational excellence is the real key to protecting against risk.”
Key takeaways:
· ITS Logistics developed multi-tenant, campus-style Battery Hubs in Indianapolis and Dallas, designed to flex capacity up or down as demand shifts, support new model launches or recalls, and provide geographic diversity across the U.S. for regional agility.
· The network includes fire suppression and environmental monitoring systems designed specifically for lithium-ion risk and aligned with upcoming regulatory changes; boots-on-the-ground, extensively trained operators and hazmat-certified staff executing battery-specific procedures and compliance documentation; FTZ-ready space for managing imports, completing assembly tasks, and protecting cash flow; and integrated hazmat-certified transportation across road, intermodal, and drayage, seamlessly coordinated with warehousing to reduce handoffs and delays.
