Amazon wants to run OEM supply chains, not just sell cars

Summary: Amazon has launched Amazon Supply Chain Services, opening its logistics infrastructure to external businesses beyond its marketplace. The service covers freight, warehousing, fulfillment, and delivery, targeting manufacturers and retailers, particularly the automotive industry. Built on Amazon’s internal e-commerce logistics capabilities, the offering could help automakers manage parts logistics, battery production, and last-mile delivery for emerging services. While potentially transformative, established automotive logistics specialists and regulatory complexities may limit disruption to traditional shipping competitors.
