# Transport for automotive and component plants in Sanand Sanand grew around car making, and component makers followed. Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels serves staff at units in both of Gujarat's auto clusters, Sanand and the Becharaji–Mandal area, so we plan three-shift routes, supplier runs between the two clusters and visitor cars for audits. - Both auto clusters - Three shifts - Supplier runs ItemIn the contractClustersSanand and Becharaji–MandalShiftsThree, seven days a weekBetween clustersAbout 90 kmVisitorsAuditors and customersClients namedNever without approval We serve staff at plants in both clusters; we never present any company as our client. ## Do you serve automotive plants in Sanand? Yes. We carry staff at automotive and auto-component units in the Sanand estates, across three shifts, seven days a week. Because we also serve staff at plants in the Becharaji–Mandal cluster about 90 km away, we run the supplier and engineer trips between the two clusters as well. - **2**: Auto clusters served - **3**: Shifts a day - **~90 km**: Sanand to Becharaji - **24/7**: Line never stops Automotive lines run to tight takt times, and a late shift crew holds up the whole line. That makes the first and last minutes of a route matter more than the fare. The other feature of the auto cluster is constant movement between customer and supplier: quality engineers visiting the vehicle plant, part trials, line audits. A transport contract that covers both the shift routes and those runs keeps them on one invoice and one coordinator. ## What transport does an auto-component unit usually need? Four kinds of transport, often under one contract. | Need | How we cover it | | --- | --- | | Three-shift operator routes | Ertigas, Tempo Travellers and buses by route density | | Engineers and supervisors | Cars on shift routes or a monthly car | | Customer and supplier visits | Sanand–Becharaji runs and visitor cars | | Audits and launches | Airport pickups and full-day cars for audit teams | ## How does an auto unit start with us? Shift routes first, then the visitor and supplier runs on the same account. - **Share shift plan.** Timings, headcount per shift, gate. - **Plan routes.** By area and density. - **Pilot one shift.** Often the night shift. - **Add supplier runs.** Sanand–Becharaji and local suppliers. - **One invoice.** Split by department or cost centre. ## Automotive unit questions From auto-component HR and admin teams. ### Do you work for the big vehicle makers in Sanand? We serve staff at units in the estates and never name a company as a client without its approval. ### Can you run trips to the SMG plant area near Becharaji? Yes. Our branch is at Hansalpur Circle, near the SMG plant, and we serve every SMG gate. ### Can you handle line overtime? Yes. Waiting is free for 30 minutes and then ₹100 an hour, or the plan is adjusted before your cut-off. ### Do you have vehicles for a full shift?

Yes, as full days on the 300 km minimum or a short monthly package. ## Related pages - [Sanand to Becharaji](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/sanand-to-becharaji-taxi.html): Between the clusters. - [Inter-plant shuttle](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/inter-plant-shuttle.html): Scheduled runs. - [SMG plant guide](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/blog/becharaji/maruti-suzuki-plant.html): The Becharaji side. - [All contract guides](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/corporate-contracts.html): The full list. **Short general answers in our [Knowledge Hub](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/)** - [Do you provide staff transportation for automobile and automotive component companies?](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/employee-transport/automobile-and-component-companies/) **Written by [Vaibhaviba Bhavsinh Solanki](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/author/vaibhaviba-bhavsinh-solanki.html)**, owner of Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels: GST and MSME registered, 8+ years in business, with cars based near Sanand and an Ahmedabad office in Ghatlodiya.
