On 13 September 2024, Ralf Elbert and Paul Bossong met with the associated partners for the successful final meeting of the “ConnectedKV” research project at the House of Logistics and Mobility (HOLM) in Frankfurt. Together, they discussed how digital platforms can make combined road/rail freight transport more efficient – and gained exciting insights in the process!

Under the title “Germany's Next Top Platform”, it quickly became clear in the discussion round that there is no such thing as the perfect platform. There should be different solutions depending on the target group. We also evaluated measures to increase platform adoption – an important step for the future of logistics.

A big thank you to our associated partners catkin GmbH, Rail-Flow GmbH, Kombiverkehr and Infront Consulting & Management as well as to the Hessian Ministry for Economy, Energy, Transportation and Housing for funding the research project!
