German Logistics Prize: Duvenbeck and partners reach the final
Environmentally-friendly intermodal concept puts Duvenbeck, Audi and Helrom in the final round of the renowned award
Bocholt/Berlin, 24 October 2024 – The Duvenbeck Group and its business partners have managed a place in the final round of this year’s competition for the German Logistics Prize through intelligently interlinking truck and railway transport services when supplying goods to the production lines of the premium vehicle manufacturer, Audi. The major focus here is on the supply chain for the car manufacturer and this has been operating for six months and is making a significant contribution to decarbonisation. The key element in the “Relay Zero Supply Chain” project is an Audi railway concept where transporting truck trailers by rail has become an integrated part of an all-round logistics system – from the suppliers to the factories; the Duvenbeck Group centrally manages the road services to and from the rail operations. Helrom is using a patented technology for the loading and transport services, which enables the flexible loading of truck trailers without the need for any expensive special terminals.
