By 2030,coordination of trucks at logistic centres will be automated and digital. The loading or unloading position, as well as the route to it will be transmitted digitally to the truck
By 2030,delivery and export process in logistics centers will be automated. This includes the automated loading and unloading of trucks as well as the automated identification and allocation of goods
By 2030,digital players such as Amazon or Google will increasingly be competing in the logistics field by also offering transport and logistics services and, where applicable, owning their own truck fleets.
By 2030, the transport of goods between logistics centers will be carried out by a few logistics service providers with very large truck fleets, rather than by a large number of small logistics service providers with very small fleets
By 2030,OEMs are also increasingly offering transportation services. OEMs thus own fleets of automated trucks and offer transport as a service
By 2030, OEMs have evolved into hardware and software service providers. In addition to the automated truck, they also offer other telematics systems by means of their own platforms and interfaces
By 2030, sharing of truck fleets and storage areas will be becoming increasingly established as a way of avoiding empty runs and vacant storage areas to the greatest extent possible.
