We never stand still: The BLG AUTOMOBILE division perfects its logistics network with smart digital solutions and sustainable concepts for climate-friendly transport. For example, we are upgrading our auto terminal in Hamburg into a climate-neutral terminal. We also actively support our customers when it comes to e-mobility. Alongside sustainability, digitalization is the second major future-defining aspect for the automobile and logistics industry. BLG is also active in this area. Together with partners in a joint research project, we have developed complex planning and control tools for automobile terminals.
