Transport and Logistics between regulations, technologies, new service models and sustainability

An event dedicated to the future of transport and logistics, focusing on regulatory evolution, technological innovation, and sustainability. The session will open with an overview of the main European rules on freight transport, aimed at understanding the dynamics that are reshaping the regulatory framework at continental level. This will be followed by a strategic reflection on the profound changes underway in mobility systems, with particular attention to the ecological transition and the balance between public policies and industrial choices.

Two talk shows will foster discussion among companies, associations, academia and institutional stakeholders: the first will focus on commercial and industrial vehicles, fuels and energy carriers, intermodal models and service profiles; the second will delve into the impact of digitalisation and artificial intelligence on fleet management, environmental data handling, and the relationship between service providers and customers. A dedicated space will also be reserved for political dialogue.
