International Trade Fair Launch in Munich: Federal Minister of Transport Schnieder initiates the leading global event in the transportation sector
The logistics industry is gearing up for a significant event as Transport Logistic 2025 prepares to take centre stage in Munich, Germany. Scheduled from June 2nd to 5th, this international platform for the logistics industry promises to be a hub for innovation and sustainability, attracting over 80,000 trade visitors and 2,670 exhibitors from more than 73 countries[1][2][3].
This year's event, spanning across 150,000 square meters, including two new halls, will see Schmitz Cargobull digitalizing its trailer fleet, reflecting the growing emphasis on digitalization in logistics[4]. The exhibition space expansion and increased exhibitor numbers, up by 15 percent compared to the 2023 edition, underscore the event's significance as the largest worldwide trade fair in logistics, mobility, IT, and supply chain management[1][2][3].
The focus of Transport Logistic 2025 centres on cutting-edge technologies and sustainability in logistics and supply chain management. Key topics include cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, digitalization, autonomous transport, blockchain, IoT, video analytics, application modernization services, and sustainable logistics practices[1].
Cybersecurity, for instance, is increasingly important in logistics protection and resilience, while AI applications are being used to enhance logistics operations through AI-supported control systems and data-driven business intelligence[1]. Digitalization is driving smarter, more efficient transport and supply chain processes, and autonomous transport and smart platform solutions reflect the push towards automation[1].
Blockchain, IoT, and digital twins are being employed for track & trace and geo-information services to improve transparency and security, while video analytics is being used for warehouse and yard management optimization[1]. Application modernization services are updating and improving legacy IT systems in logistics, and sustainable logistics practices are aimed at reducing the carbon footprint and innovating temperature-controlled logistics[1].
The event also emphasizes secure, sustainable, and socially responsible truck parking solutions, driver wellbeing, and improving working conditions within the transport sector, highlighted by ESPORG's active participation[1].
Transport Logistic 2025 will open on Monday, June 2, at 11:00 a.m., in the Forum of Hall A3, with Federal Minister of Transport Patrick Schnieder and Stefan Rummel, Managing Director of Messe München, officiating the event together[1]. The event benefits from the growing dynamism and importance of road freight transport, making it a crucial event for the logistics industry[1].
Notable exhibitors include Schmitz Cargobull, Reber Logistics, making its debut, and Verbio, bringing biofuel to the road[1]. Goodyear will focus on connected fleet management, and the event sees itself as a forum for the exchange of concrete solutions, new partnerships, and the further development of the logistics industry in an international context[1].
The Transport Logistic, conducted by Messe München for years, is a central platform for the international logistics industry, underscoring its crucial role in the economy's functioning by showcasing the invisible aspects of logistics that are essential for smooth operation[1].
