Shedding Light into Barriers of Truck Sharing in Road Freight Transport: Bridging Driver and Company Perspective

2024-06-14 , Ludwig Häberle

Sharing trucks in commercial road freight transport emerges as a promising solution to improve efficiency and sustainability in the traffic sector. By optimising the deployment of trucks resources including driver, tractor and trailer, reductions in empty mileage and downtimes can be achieved, leading to lower emissions and alleviating congestion. However, despite the growing pressure on efficient truck usage due to rising costs associated with the adoption of alternative engines, shared mobility concepts contributing to optimsing truck utilisation are still scarce in road freight transport. This paper employs a backcasting approach to explore barriers to overcome fostering the implementation of truck sharing in practice, with a specific focus on horizontal sharing among fleet operators. Applying a mixed methods approach, the perspectives of 110 professional truck drivers in Germany and Switzerland are investigated via an online survey. In addition, 24 semi-structured interviews are conducted with CEOs and managers of truck fleet operators. Our findings from a comparative analysis reveal the existence of distinct barriers perceived by truck drivers and companies. To facilitate the adoption of truck sharing in road freight transport, this study offers practical implications for both industry practitioners and policymakers. Recommendations aim to address the identified barriers and promote the implementation of truck sharing.

Logistikmarktstudie Schweiz 02-2024: Trends, Nachhaltigkeit, Geopolitische Krisen, Automatisierung

2024-07-01 , Thomas Friedli , Leon Zacharias , Ludwig Häberle

The second issue of the Swiss Logistics Market Study in 2024 focuses on trends, sustainability, geopolitical crises and automation in the Swiss logistics market. The trend radar illustrates the current technological, social and economic trends in the Swiss logistics market and their dynamics. The focus of the analysis of developments in the freight transport market is on determining the sustainability of logistics. In addition, mode-specific developments in road, rail, air and shipping are examined in order to describe the current market situation. Besides the recurring static topics, the issue includes two dynamic topics, geopolitical crises and automation: the complexity along global trade routes is constantly increasing due to global crises. Established flows of goods have had to be adapted within a very short space of time, which is now leading to new challenges. Delays and cost increases in supply chains are the logical consequence. In this issue, we also explore the question of how much digitalisation actually makes sense. Could Switzerland be described as an Eldorado for automation in warehouse logistics? Issue 02-2024 of the Swiss Logistics Market Study provides answers to these and further questions.

Business Aviation Study Switzerland 2022. Impact – Benefits – Trends.

2022-05-24 , Häberle, Ludwig , Stölzle, Wolfgang , Sievers, Tim Felix

The study "Business Aviation Study Switzerland 2022" examines the impact, benefits and trends of Business Aviation with a specific emphasis on the Swiss market. Outlining the economic impact by focusing on the national and regional Swiss Business Aviation airports and their related stakeholder benefits, the study highlights Business Aviation as an integral part and backbone of the highly efficient Swiss aviation system. In 2021, Switzerland recorded close to 100,000 Business Aviation aircraft movements – exceeding the level of 2019. In light of the COVID-19 related crisis of scheduled airline traffic, Business Aviation has proven resilient temporarily increasing its share in total aircraft movements to 27 %. Thus, Business Aviation remains a reliable and irreplaceable partner securing Switzerland’s connectivity, particularly in times of crisis. Looking to the future, Business Aviation opens up the opportunity to act as an innovation driver and technological pioneer paving the way for sustainable aviation in the long term.
