What Autoport Transportes e Logística LTDA does

Autoport Transportes e Logística LTDA is a Brazilian automotive logistics provider founded in 1990 and headquartered in Cariacica, Espírito Santo, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo Águia Branca within the VIXPar conglomerate. It serves automakers, trading companies, rental companies, insurance firms, and large fleet owners, moving 130,000+ vehicles per month via a fleet of 800+ specialized equipment units and storing 7,000+ vehicles across 16 operational bases in Brazil and Argentina. Its customer roster includes Toyota, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, FCA, Hyundai, Volvo, Porsche, Citroën, Peugeot, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, and Caterpillar.

Core services span vehicle transportation, utility/truck/agricultural equipment logistics, interplant automotive supply chain, port operations under National Port Operator accreditation, yard management, pre-delivery inspection (PDI), parts transportation, vehicle storage, and international transport across Mercosur. The technology stack includes a customer portal (portalautoport.vix.com.br), EDI and API integration for OEM partners, electronic cargo conference mobile application, tracking devices, and yard management systems; digital innovation sits within the Vix Labs arm of the parent group. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certifications.

The business model is enterprise B2B: long-cycle contracts with OEMs and large fleet operators, custom quote-based pricing, field-sales-led customer acquisition via direct relationships and customer service centers, and revenue generated per vehicle moved plus value-added services (storage, PDI, port handling). Backed by a diversified Brazilian conglomerate parent, the company operates at scale within a narrow vertical and has no external venture funding history.
