FORUM: PEOPLE & MARKETS Truck market Breakdowns are unacceptable Right of way for efficiency: At the International Motor Show, IAA Commercial Vehicles, in Hanover at the end of September, manufacturers and fleet operators directed their focus on the “Total Costs of Ownership” (TCO) of a truck. “Drivers are interested above all in vehicle comfort, drivability and performance,” explains Ron Borsboom, director of product development at DAF Trucks in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. For product developers, fuel-efficiency and reducing CO 2 emissions are therefore currently the key issues. “More than anything, vehicles these days have to be reliable,” Borsboom says. “It is simply no longer acceptable for vehicles to break down.” The developers’ planning is almost entirely dictated by legislation, with standards in Europe (EURO) and the USA (EPA) defining the framework. “15 years from now we are aiming for a 97-percent reduction in nitrogen oxides and a 95-percent reduction in particulate matter. And all this with lower fuel consumption as well,” Borsboom adds. At the IAA, Georg Pachta-Reyhofen, CEO of MAN Commercial Vehicles, gave a small demonstration of this future. The spectacular Concept S vehicle study boasts an air drag coefficient of just 0.3, equalling the performance of modern passenger limos and saving up to 25 percent in fuel and CO 2. 06 DACHSER magazine Right of way for trucks in Europe This is where the rubber hits the road: transport solutions by truck are gaining in importance Road Rail Waterway Figures in percent 1990 2005 2030 Hungary Man of the year: Engelbert Liegl A high-calibre jury has nominated Engelbert Liegl, managing director of Liegl & Dachser, “Man of the Year 2010” among Hungarian forwarders. Every year, the logistics journal Navigátor appoints the “Man of the Year” on the Hungarian forwarding scene. In 2010, the prestigious award went to Austrian-born Engelbert Liegl. The 44-year-old managing director of Liegl & Dachser follows 12 Hungarian award winners as the first non-Hungarian to be honoured by the high-calibre expert jury. The jury was especially impressed by Liegl’s achievements within the scope of the Liegl & Dachser joint venture launched in 1999, referring to the company’s outstanding dynamic development under his management during the past few years and the high quality and service standards associated with the brand. In its explanation, the jury pointed out that under the management of Engelbert Liegl, Liegl & Dachser had become a leading logistics provider in the Hungarian market and enjoyed a high level of brand recognition and respect throughout Europe. Even in the crisis year 2009, the jury concluded, Liegl & Dachser had continued along its path of growth and achieved excellent results, ranking fifth at national level in terms of revenue. 58.4 27.9 13.7 72.5 16.0 11.5 74.4 15.0 9.6 Source: EEA In brief Together with its Australian partner company Mainfreight and Korean Air, Dachser Air & Sea Logistics transported a glass plate measuring almost 14 metres by 3 metres destined for the external façade of a building in Sydney from Munich to Sydney in a spectacular feat of air freight logistics. This is the largest glass plate ever to be carried by air. Dachser had already set a record two years earlier when it transported glass plates of a similar size.
INTEGRATION Vive la chance Intelligent growth: this motto is also shared by Dachser France. As part of Graveleau’s ongoing integration into the worldwide Dachser network since 1999, the logistics provider is setting new milestones with the introduction of the swap body system in France and the opening of the new Euro- Eva-Maria Marcour hub in Clermont-Ferrand scheduled for August 2011. Eva-Maria Marcour, who with her team has accompanied the integration process since the outset, sees this development confidently: “We meanwhile have several thousand well-trained employees in 40 branches across France. In 2011, five additional branches will receive training. The main language is French; the Domino IT system permits seamless processes within the European network, with connections to 750 different countries across Europe.” Since 2005, Dachser has been coordinating such integration measures within the scope of its “WIN” project, which in addition to France also encompasses Poland, Belgium, Portugal as well as the Maghreb. “With this,” Marcour says, “we are opening the door to new customers and markets.” Family and globalization receive high scores Young people in Germany value their family. This is one of the results from the 16th Shell Youth Study. The study reveals that more than three quarters (76 percent) of youths believe a family is essential to living a happy life. In times when the demands of school, training and first job are increasing, the majority of young people say they get support and emotional stability from their family. Over 90 percent of young people have a good relationship to their parents. 84 percent of youth connect globalization with the ability to travel, study or work anywhere in the world. However, worldwide integration is also increasingly associated with economic prosperity. In 2006, in other words before the economic and financial crisis, only 37 percent made this link, with 53 percent in 2010. At the same time, however, globalization is also more frequently associated with environmental damage. Copenhagen Network hub FORUM: PEOPLE & MARKETS In September, Dachser celebrated the opening of its new Copenhagen logistics centre on a 70,000square-metre site in Hvidovre. The head office of Dachser Nordic A/S represents an investment of 20 million euros and employs a staff of 95. The logistics centre has a 4,100square-metre transshipment hall for industrial goods with 41 loading bays. The administrative and technology building covers 3,000 square metres. “This investment will strengthen our presence in Denmark and Scandinavia. Our customers appreciate the combination of regional competence and a closely meshed pan-European logistics network with intercontinental connections,” says Dachser managing director Michael Schilling.
