Freight transport drives economic growth, and growth keeps it going. By 2030, it will grow worldwide by 40 percent, and could even triple by 2050. At the same time, the logistics industry faces huge challenges: shortages of drivers, low efficiency, cargo security, and – not least – increased efforts to mitigate global warming. What hardware and software solutions can Bosch offer to make commercial vehicles fit for the future? What role does Bosch play in the logistical ecosystem?
At IAA Transportation 2022 in Hannover and by livestream, Dr. Markus Heyn, member of the Bosch board of management and chairman of the Mobility Solutions business sector, will give you some insights into Bosch strategy and current business developments.
