• How is the carbon footprint measured in vehicle logistics?
• What are the current trends in finished vehicle logistics?
• What efficiency reserves still exist in the automotive process chain?
• What are the advantages of standardizing vehicle transport processes for all manufacturers?
• What potentials are offered by the railroads as a means of transport?
• What examples are there of successful rail transports in automotive logistics?
• What obstacles do the railroads have to overcome to expand their market share in vehicle transport?

These and other questions will be examined at the symposium, which the organisers cordially invite you to attend.
