Overview

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Clarusto Logistics, through its trusted Jordan logistics partner, successfully managed the import handling, customs coordination, and inland transportation of electric vehicle (EV) shipments for a leading automotive importer in Jordan. The project involved 8 × 40FT containers arriving at the Port of Aqaba for final delivery to Amman.
