Berlin / Frankfurt, 15 October 2013 - Good news for the transportation logistics industry in Germany. 51 percent of experts believe that the economic situation will improve over the next 12 months. This is evident from the current "Trend report Transport Logistic" *, which the Diplomatic Council (DC, www.diplomatic-council.org) and the 4PL transport logistics specialist G-SCS (Global Supply Chain Solutions, www.g-scs.com) commissioned. Furthermore, the last 12 months, according to the study have already been very successful. 65 percent of the respondents indicated an improved situation and this positive trend is predicted to continue until at least 2020. However, 39 percent of the industry experts expect the situation  in Germany to be overcast by then.

The Trend Report has also taken a closer look at the development in Europe and worldwide. There is also a similar picture here: while 49 percent of the experts for Europe expect some improvement in the economic situation within the next 12 months, there are only about 44 percent worldwide who believe the same. In addition, the last 12 months are regarded as predominantly positive by 55 percent of the experts for Europe in this period, whilst worldwide there are more than a third (36 percent) share this view. Up until 2020, companies will continue to benefit from positive business development, but with a reduced drive: more than a third (36 percent) anticipate future growth in Europe, worldwide only 29 percent. 

"An improved economic situation in the transport logistics industry is almost always accompanied by rising freight costs. Many companies therefore want to reduce their logistics costs significantly and sustainably, "says Steffen Rabus, chairman of the International Logistics Forum (ILF) in the Diplomatic Council (DC) and also Managing Director of G-SCS, in the current situation. "Hardly any other industry in Germany has with, so many restrictions, to make do, as the logistics sector. Besides governmental rules and truck tolls on federal roads, it is also about urban planning restrictions and environmental regulations" Thus arises more and more often the keyword of "green logistics". Cities are increasingly using flexible tour planning. Rising costs are turning intermodal transport into the intelligent alternative. The commercial success depends, according to Rabus, crucially on how existing resources are optimally used. "This complexity suggests the use of high-performance IT and outstanding software programs. In this context, the phrase '4 PL-service ' moves towards the center of the discussion, " adds the ILF Chairman.
