𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 - 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟰 (𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟭) "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭, 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘶𝘱." In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of catching up with Nicola Lyons, who has held senior HR roles at GEFCO and CEVA Logistics over the past 15+ years, across various global locations. 🌍 As a female leader in the logistics and supply chain industry, Nicola’s insights on the female talent gap were invaluable. One key takeaway for me was the critical role CEOs and leaders play in driving diversity and making it a priority throughout the organization. Nicola shared her experience: "𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘫𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 15 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘰, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥.

However, as Nicola notes, true change won't happen organically: "𝘐𝘧 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘢 𝘬𝘦𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢, 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴, 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘸𝘯." Although the industry is moving in the right direction, there is still much work to do. As Nicola says, "𝘞𝘦’𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘳, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘶𝘱." 🎧 Tune in to Part 1 of our conversation for more insights into how we can close the gap and empower more women in logistics! #DiversityAndInclusion #WomenInLogistics #Leadership #FemaleTalent #SupplyChain #HRLeadership #LogisticsIndustry #GenderGap #InclusionMatters

DB Cargo UK’s Chief Executive Andrea Rossi has welcomed the “positive dialogue and tangible actions” being taken to promote the greater use of rail freight. Mr Rossi was speaking after a summit of industry leaders took place in London yesterday, which was called in the wake of Royal Mail’s recent decision to switch all its rail freight operations to road. Mr Rossi said Rail Partners’ ‘Delivering Growth’ summit had highlighted many positive initiatives to encourage greater modal shift, as well as shining a light under the many barriers that still exist. “It was encouraging to see such energy and enthusiasm in the room yesterday from all parties who were united in the view that freight belongs on rail. What we need now is for the Government and senior decision makers to work with us to create the right conditions that will enable the sector to realise its full potential,” said Mr Rossi. “Rail freight has huge potential to support our new Government’s economic ambitions and its net zero targets, so it’s important to have the right policy framework in place to support ongoing investment,” said Andrea. “We need to ensure the costs associated with energy and access make choosing rail an affordable option for our customers who are working hard to grow their businesses, while also decarbonising their supply chains. Capacity gains and better utilisation can drive increases in efficiency and productivity, which also help towards making rail more competitive over road,” he added. Mr Rossi said that the rail freight sector had invested more than £3 billion since privatisation to improve the performance, safety and reliability of freight services, with further investment planned in the future. For example, he said that DB Cargo UK had recently committed to an additional £10 million of investment in its wagon fleet to meet the changing needs of its customers. However, he added that rising costs, continued increases in access charges and low investor confidence still needed to be addressed. #railfreight #freightbelongsonrail

Spot prices are heavily driven by the market forces of demand and capacity. While demand is expected to remain stable overall, the market experienced and will further face reduced capacity. In France, road transport spot prices increased by 29% compared to March of this year. 👀 Read our analysis about domestic road transport in France and subscribe to our newsletter for weekly updates on the European freight market. 🚚 https://ow.ly/bBmh30sCWap #freightperspectives #France

Do you know what the TIR sign on a truck means, like the one in the picture below? TIR stands for "Transports Internationaux Routiers" and refers to a system that allows goods to move across international borders with minimal customs checks. It used to be widely used, but now within the European Union, it's no longer needed because customs controls have been largely eliminated. However, you’ll still see it used in transports heading to Eastern Europe. An interesting detail: if you see the TIR sign crossed out with a rubber band, it means that the truck is currently not under the TIR system, but the sign hasn’t been removed. In Poland, the term 'TIR' is commonly used to refer to a truck with a trailer.

Our newest research on the role of semi-trailers in the modal shift from road to rail in Europe has now been published in the most recent issue of Railway Gazette International. Similar to previous years’ studies, we continue to observe an increasing demand for semi-trailer transportation in combined transport, reaching a historical peak of 35% of intermodal rail freight transport performance in Germany in 2023. Decision-makers in the industry and forwarding sector seem to view the semi-trailer as a central loading unit for freight transport. Between 2013 and 2022, the total number of semi-trailers in the EU increased from approximately 870,000 to 2.3 million. Despite its central role in achieving the targets of the EU Green Agenda, the semi-trailer and the technologies enabling its transshipment from road to rail seem to be underrepresented in the definition of transport policies at both the EU and national levels.

"Freight plays a critical yet often overlooked role in the UK's transport system. As urban centres grow and #decarbonisation efforts intensify, there is a growing need to integrate #freight into national #transport strategies. Recent announcements about the expansion of London Stansted Airport and government commitments to #innovation mark a shift in recognising freight's importance".... This article from Tim Bellamy "explores how the #logistics sector can embrace #sustainability, #technology, and #policy changes to become a pivotal part of the UK's economic and #environmental future". #freighttransport #sustainabletransport #transportplanning #ukeconomy #smartlogistics #supplychain #freightindustry #urbanplanning Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority https://lnkd.in/gDtwMmfM

🌪️ Hurricane Milton Adds to Supply Chain Strain as Tender Rejection Rates Spike🌪️ After making landfall on Wednesday night, Hurricane Milton is hitting just as the supply chain struggles with multiple disruptions. The recent International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) strike caused a three-day shutdown at key East Coast ports, and the market is still recovering from the impacts of Hurricane Helene. As a result, national tender rejection rates (OTRI) surged past 5% on Monday—the first time this threshold has been crossed since July. This is only the fourth time in 24 months that rejection rates have hit this level, and they continue to trend upwards. While the freight market has withstood two major hits, Hurricane Milton may be the challenge that breaks its resilience.
