The UK’s logistics industry has a key role to play in delivering a cleaner, safer environment for all, according to the body which represents the sector.  Speaking at the Freight Transport Association’s (FTA) inaugural Future Logistics Conference & Expo today (14 November 2018) at the Warwickshire Event Centre, FTA Chief Executive David Wells set out his framework for the future of logistics, including the achievable aim of zero atmospheric emissions and near zero deaths and injuries from freight movements by 2050. 

 

Sponsored by the Transport Exchange Group, Tevva and Bott, the one-day conference and expo brought together the brightest minds in the logistics sector to debate the factors that will shape the industry in the coming years.  It also provided a showcase of the very latest emerging technologies in the freight industry, which are set to be introduced across all transport modes. With more than 20 leading speakers taking part – including experts from the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles and the Transport Research Laboratory – the conference explored three main themes: managing people in a connected world; developing strategies to optimise operations; and tools, technologies and the future of transport.   

 

David Wells, Chief Executive of FTA, which has more than 17,000 members nationwide, commented: “From self-driving vehicles to artificial intelligence, the world around us is changing fast and the logistics sector is embracing new technologies and solutions quickly.  As the only event of its kind, Future Logistics Conference & Expo armed companies with the toolkit required to embrace our brave new world; empowering them to reap the opportunities on offer but also protect against the challenges ahead, including Brexit and worsening skills shortages.
