Munich [Germany], June 3: Transport logistic 2025, an international exhibition for logistics, mobility, IT and supply chain management, kicked off Monday in the southern German city of Munich.
The event, which is held every two years in Munich, has attracted around 2,670 exhibitors from more than 70 countries and regions this year, with the organizer 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 Muenchen.
Running through June 5, the four-day event places an emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI), digitalization, and cybersecurity, which are key topics shaping the future of the global logistics industry.
Germany's Federal Minister of Transport Patrick Schnieder said at the opening ceremony that digitalization is a decisive lever for modern logistics. "Digital applications make processes more efficient, more intelligent and therefore easier," he said. He particularly emphasized the role of AI, saying that "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, participated in this year's exhibition, showcasing their latest products, services, and innovations to the global audience.
"At this year's exhibition, we showcased key achievements and ongoing efforts to build a world-class shipping technology company," Chen Bin, vice president of COSCO Shipping Europe, told Xinhua.
"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," he said.
