Once assembled, these vehicles are strategically distributed through an extensive network of distribution centers, which serve as crucial logistics hubs. From these centralized facilities, the finished vehicles are channeled to their ultimate destinations through three primary routes: traditional dealership networks that serve individual consumers, specialized fleet sales divisions catering to corporate and government buyers, and dedicated commercial sales channels for business customers.
This intricate distribution system effectively demonstrates the complete journey of utility vehicles from initial raw material processing to final customer delivery, highlighting the complexity and efficiency of modern automotive supply chains.
