The future of transportation demands innovation and a pioneering spirit.
In combined transport, we have been demonstrating both since 1980.
In 1984, LKW WALTER carried out the first transalpine transports by rail on the north-south axis. Over the years, we have developed a dense network between the major conurbations such as northern Italy and the Ruhr area. In 2007, the first transports were carried out on the east-west axis and our network of block trains was increasingly expanded.
Andreas Ehrenhöfer, Senior Management Director at LKW WALTER, explains the continuous expansion of our network and the advantages of combined transport in detail.
Digital transformation is one of the keys to success in the next 100 years.
The transportation industry offers tremendous potential to drive forward the digital transformation for the benefit of all. With our digital solutions, we wanted to make more out of less back in 2004 and created efficiencies where they had not been before. Back then, we launched our CONNECT customer platform, a digital place that makes the organisation of transport faster, easier and more transparent. At the same time, LOADS TODAY was launched as a counterpart for our transport partners. This has made data faster and transportation more efficient.
In the year of our anniversary, however, we are not only looking to the past, but also to the here and now. We are convinced that the digital transformation that has already begun is the key to success in the next 100 years. What began at LKW WALTER 20 years ago with the launch of CONNECT and LOADS TODAY is now a competitive advantage for every customer and transport partner who can book transports, purchase loads and carry out many other activities digitally, regardless of time and location.
Since 1924 we have been shaping the transport sector. Let's celebrate yesterday and shape the future.
