• Increasing fuel prices meet severe shortages in transport capacity and for drivers, with aggravated effects from lockdowns, and interruptions of delivery routes.  
• On top of this acute firefighting situation, new megatrends demand their attention on a strategic level, like sustainability, digital transformation and, recently, regionalization.
