By definition, this term covers all logistical processes related to transport. In principle, this means moving the required goods and quantities to the desired location and bridging the corresponding spatial distances. However, this also includes controlling transports, selecting the means of transport, monitoring processes, ensuring the flow of data and ongoing optimisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A professional transport logistics company organises this process as efficiently as possible. This means, among other things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Determining the best routes according to delivery deadlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensuring maximum utilisation of the freight space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protecting the goods as best as possible during transport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carrying out the transport at an efficient cost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The aim of transport logistics is always to optimise transport chains, including loading and unloading, capacity utilisation, handover and identification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The tasks of a transport logistician are therefore extremely varied and complex. When choosing the mode of transport, advantages and disadvantages must be weighed up between road (lorry), rail (goods train), <a href=\"\/se-en\/end-to-end-solutions\/our-business-models\/air-and-sea-freight\/\">waterways (sea or inland waterway vessel) and air (aircraft)<\/a>. In addition, there are important planning tasks such as the development of transport strategies and transport control as well as operational tasks such as transport technology and data transmission technology. And finally, administrative tasks such as personnel management and resource management are also part of transport logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When planning, controlling and implementing transport logistics services, it is essential to keep an eye on both the supplier network and the distribution network. The supplier network (also known as the supplier pyramid) defines which type of supplier plays a role in the delivery process, e.g. parts, component or system suppliers. The distribution network describes the spatial structure in which the delivery process takes place. It is determined by the production site, warehouse and location of customer demand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n            \r\n        <div class=\"spacing-block small spacing-block-id-69d0df1cbe28d\" >                                     \r\n                  <div class=\"small-space\">   \r\n                  <\/div>                      \r\n        <\/div>\n\n            \r\n        <div class=\"spacing-block doublesmall spacing-block-id-69d0df1cbe359\" >                                     \r\n                  <div class=\"double-small-space\">   \r\n                  <\/div>                      \r\n        <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group container\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group container\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\r\n                <div class=\"headline-block \">\r\n                    \r\n                        <p class=\"wt-subheadline wt-sl\">Sustainable transport logistics<\/p>\r\n                            \r\n                        \r\n                                                            \r\n                <\/div>\r\n            \n\n\n<p>Transport logistics is an essential service for the global economy. At the same time, it is also a major source of climate-related emissions. Fortunately, the transport logistics sector has undergone massive development in recent years. The means of transport used have become more energy-efficient. Digital technologies help us to work in an even more energy-saving, resource-efficient and consumption-reducing manner, to better utilise transport vehic                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    les and to avoid empty runs.
