An international exhibition for logistics, mobility, IT, and supply chain management, Transport Logistic 2025, kicked off on Monday in Munich, Germany. The event, held every two years, has attracted around 2,670 exhibitors from more than 70 countries and regions, with organizers expecting some 80,000 professional visitors.
“Transport logistic makes visible what often remains invisible in everyday life: Logistics is far more than trucks on the highway; it is the basis for the economy to function,” said Stefan Rummel, Chief Executive Officer of Messe München.
Running through June 5, the four-day event places a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI), digitalization, and cybersecurity—key topics shaping the future of the global logistics industry.
Germany’s Federal Minister of Transport, Patrick Schnieder, highlighted the pivotal role of digitalization in modern logistics. “Digital applications make processes more efficient, more intelligent, and therefore easier,” he said at the opening ceremony. Emphasizing AI’s potential, he added, “It can help with planning optimal delivery routes, fleet management, and predictive vehicle maintenance.”
Over 100 Chinese companies, including China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited, China Railway Container Transport Corp., Ltd., and CRRC Corporation Limited, are participating in this year’s exhibition. They are showcasing their latest products, services, and innovations to a global audience.
“At this year’s exhibition, we showcased key achievements and ongoing efforts to build a world-class shipping technology company,” said Chen Bin, Vice President of COSCO Shipping Europe. “The highlights of COSCO at this year’s fair include our efforts to advance the development of an integrated transport network across Europe and reaffirm our commitment to expanding global service capabilities. We also presented achievements in green and low-carbon technologies, smart shipping solutions, and innovations in digital supply chain management.”
Transport Logistic 2025 offers a glimpse into the future of logistics, emphasizing how AI and digital technologies are revolutionizing the industry. For young audiences and future professionals, the event underscores the exciting prospects and career opportunities emerging in this dynamic field.
