transport logistic 2007: Clever solutions for transport by land, water and air

transport logistic, the International Trade Fair for Logistics, Telematics and Transport, will be held in Munich for the 11th time from June 12 – 15, 2007. The international exhibition gives visitors a look at the entire sector for transport and logistics – i.e. systems and services for freight shipping and logistics, telematics and intralogistics – at a glance.

The objective of the fair is to showcase companies' practical experiences transporting freight by road, rail, water and air, a sector known for its multifaceted structures. Visitor target groups include service providers and decision-makers from the transport sector, industry, logistics, trade associations and research organizations.

More than 40,000 trade visitors attended transport logistic in Munich in 2005. A total of 1,333 exhibitors participated in the 2005 fair, setting a new record. All important industry representatives will also be at transport logistic 2007 to present the latest technologies, products and visions in the sectors for freight shipping, logistics, telematics, e-commerce and material flow.

As in the past, the rail freight sector will be strongly represented at transport logistic 2007. The liberalization of rail freight transport that is planned for 2007 and Germany's succession to the Presidency of the Council of the European Union will be reflected by the themes of the exhibition and the focus of attention in the program of related events. More than 80 state-operated and private railway companies presented the range of
services in the European rail-freight sector. The most important state-operated railway companies such as SBB Cargo (Switzerland), PKP Cargo (Poland), VR Cargo (Finland), Rail Cargo Austria (Austria), TrenItalia (Italy), Renfe (Spain), CNCF Fret (France), the Czech Railway and the German Railway were represented at the 2005 fair. Leading companies such as Siemens, Alstom und Bombardier will have their rail vehicles on display at the outdoor exhibition site.

The product and service portfolios of the sectors for air cargo and maritime shipping will also take up a large portion of the exhibition space at transport logistic 2007. Under the headings "AirCargo" and "marilog", these segments of the logistics industry will also be the special focus of this year's conference program. Technical lectures and panel discussions will give experts in each sector an opportunity to exchange the latest information from the sectors for air cargo and maritime shipping. Air Cargo Europe, a two-day conference, is being held in conjunction with transport logistic in Munich for the third time in 2007; it has developed into an important event for everyone who has anything to do with global shipping of goods by air. The exhibition sector for air freight experienced a boom at the 2005 fair, increasing by nearly 40 percent. The maritime shipping sector has also found a home in Munich. Thanks to its intermodal transit hubs and services, it has become a key issue in the global freight-shipping sector. Harbor operators, shipping companies, maritime freight forwarding companies, shipbrokers, container, cargo-handling and storage enterprises gather in Munich to discuss and improve potential for the maritime logistics chain. Approximately 80 maritime and inland harbors had exhibits at transport logistic 2005. The marilog Conference was held in conjunction with transport logistic in Munich for the first time in 2005 and is expected to be the focus of even greater attention in 2007.
