Gruber Logistics at transport logistic Munich 2025

Autonomous heavy-duty vehicles are currently primarily tested in private areas. However, MODI, a project co-financed by the European Commission, aims to test autonomous features on public roads. Specifically, Gruber Logistics has conducted three tests: two in Hamburg and one in an international shipment from Dusseldorf to Oslo, passing through Rotterdam. Although these tests were conducted with a driver in the vehicle, they provided valuable insights into how a fully automated vehicle would perform in various environments. The workshop’s objective is to share the gained experience and discuss the most promising use cases and applications according to the participants.

Reporting emissions is not just about comparing the emissions of different fuels; it requires each entity in the chain, including producers, distributors, transport companies, shippers, and carriers, to report data accurately. This process is technically known as the chain of custody.In most cases, systematically and massively controlling the movement of molecules along the logistics chain is practically impossible. For instance, how can you be certain of what is in a truck’s tank? Is it biofuel or fossil fuel? Due to this challenge, alternative custody chains, such as mass balance and book & claim, are gaining traction in the market to provide better transparency. Book & Claim is particularly valuable as it supports the matching of supply and demand. It involves consuming sustainable fuel where possible and reporting it where needed, ensuring that the quantities purchased and declared are consistent.The workshop aims to briefly present the concepts of the chain of custody and Book & Claim, and to facilitate a discussion among experts on the major open points.

The event will provide an overview of projects focused on the decarbonization of freight transport by showcasing real-world applications of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) across Europe. During the event, key players from the European research and innovation community, including manufacturers, research centers, associations, and companies, will present their initiatives, highlighting the results achieved and the challenges faced in the pursuit of zero-emission vehicle applications.
