Consequently, will demonstrate what modes of transport used in order to bring car making components such as, body parts, steering and chassis parts, interior furnishing and wheels and tyres. Then, it will determine the best transport modes which is cost effective and time efficient. Eventually, will analyse the advantages and disadvantages of using each modes of transport and illustrate storages and warehouses for these products. 2 Logistics strategy and

It is the fastest form of transport and therefore is very useful when time is an important factor.

Generating Electricity). Now, lets take a look at the advantages and disadvantages, differences and similarities, and the methods to generate electricity of thermal and nuclear energy. Thermal power has been used as a natural form of energy, but it has its advantages and disadvantages. The financial costs are extremely low due to no fuel needed to generate power. Even considering transport, geothermal energy is estimated to save 80
