Chemical logistics is on the move - scenarios and outlook for Germany
The chemical industry is a key industry in Germany. It’s one of the largest sectors of the country’s economy and accounts for a major proportion of its exports. However, it’s also one of the sectors with very high energy requirements. Companies began developing strategies to replace fossil fuels even before the energy transition became necessary. However, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and the resulting loss of gas as a “bridge” energy source has increased the pressure to find alternatives that would make the German chemical industry sustainable. A study entitled “Chemical logistics on the move: Scenarios and outlook for Germany,” which was supported by DACHSER Chem Logistics, examines the impact of this development on the demand for chemical logistics.
DACHSER optimizes its pioneering rolling container for store deliveries
Bringing clothing to retail without wrinkles or creases is the ultimate achievement in the transportation of fashion items. To attain it, DACHSER Fashion Logistics has developed a special rolling container for hanging and flat garments. The Retail Box (formerly Roll&GOH) can be easily transported on the truck bed together with other palleted goods and is easy for the driver to roll into the receiving fashion shop. Having launched this container around five years ago, DACHSER has now further optimized it and offers two different-sized models: Retail Box classic and small. When making these enhancements, DACHSER also considered the box’s potential for other sectors in which the stores to be supplied are often located in city centers, including the cosmetics industry and, increasingly, the electronics sector. There are no plans, however, to use it for shipping food.
