A positive year, in which we were particularly delighted by our success in the SME Awards which we are nominated for again in 2014. The response to our trainee exchange programme was also very pleasing. Both events gained great interest within the CargoFamily from trainees and partners and was also reported on in detail several times by the press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further excellent work was also done by the partners that received the Partner Awards for the most innovative idea, strongest growth, highest quality communications and highest quality. Equally pleasing were the trading results in 2013, during which VTL again recorded a small increase in the number of depots, consignments and turnover \u2013 only the tonnage fell back slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For 2014, VTL anticipates further growth. We shall be involved during the year in areas including the collaboration of general cargo networks and the planned European Hub in Fulda. We also want to introduce the offer of an overhead centralisation service for certain areas. The plan, for example, is to have one hazardous goods risk prevention officer in the head office responsible for all depots and thus to ease the burden on the partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other benefits for the network are created by the recently installed powerful servers and the planned scanners for damage documentation. These photograph and relay the photos straight into the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, preparations are ongoing on several sustainable projects. The one we see as the biggest and most important this year is the CO2 tool, aimed at enabling emissions for individual consignments to be ascertained on an automated basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VTL wishes the entire CargoFamily great success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andreas J\u00e4schke,<br>\nManaging Director VTL Vernetzte-Transport-Logistik GmbH<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">New products increase service and efficiency<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<p><b>Collection on delivery<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/B2C-ScreenshotE-180x300.gif\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/B2C-ScreenshotE-180x300.gif\" alt=\"B2C-ScreenshotE\" class=\"wp-image-1177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/B2C-ScreenshotE-180x300.gif 180w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/B2C-ScreenshotE-240x400.gif 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This new product will increase efficiency and can reduce the cost of the procurement tariff by 40 %.

The new OV 9 service will from that date be generally available for deliveries in B1 tariff zones and if the distance from the HUB\/RHUB to the depot is no more than 350km.

Be it a washing machine, bicycle or garden fence \u2013 once the partner depots or dealers have registered the pallets and weighty goods via myVTL, the end customer receives an automated e-mail containing a link for managing the delivery on the myVTL platform. At a convenient time the customer can then pick via PC, mobile or smart phone when the package is to be delivered \u2013 any morning or afternoon over the next three days \u2013 or opt to pick it up himself from the depot. The relevant VTL depot receives, also automatically via myVTL, details of the delivery slot chosen by the customer. There is thus no need for any tedious arrangement of delivery times by telephone \u2013 the automated dispatch and receipt processing makes things appreciably easier and more reliable for both dispatcher and recipient. And myVTL naturally also includes \u2018Track and Trace\u2018 consignment tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">VTL trainees gain international experience<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New exchange programme<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image lightbox\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Azubi-Tausch-300x240.gif\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Azubi-Tausch-300x240.gif\" alt=\"Azubi-Tausch\" class=\"wp-image-656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Azubi-Tausch-300x240.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Azubi-Tausch-400x320.gif 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Back in Fulda, VTL trainees after their internship: Anna-Maria B\u00f6sel, Philomena Grosch und Philipp Bausewein (from left)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>International experience is becoming increasingly important to working life. Two VTL trainees gained a first step towards greater intercultural competence, completing a four-week work placement abroad. The unique aspect of this is that thanks to a new pan-European exchange programme within the general cargo network the apprentices are already able to get a taste of international work even during their training years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That cannot be taken for granted. For what has long been the rule in academic careers, has not been found in many areas of training until now: experience of working abroad is something that young people in this country generally only get \u2013 if at all \u2013 upon completion of their training course or apprenticeship. The picture is very different at VTL! The new training model, coupled with the wide partner network, creates an optimum basis for international exchange and offers VTL\u2018s next generation a special, comprehensive start to life working in logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn such exchanges our trainees do not only improve their foreign language skills, but their social skills as well and significantly expand their industry knowledge,\u201c explains managing director Andreas J\u00e4schke. At the same time the participants become familiar with other business cultures and are able to strike up international contacts. The VTL trainees fond of travelling benefit here from the Europe-wide network of the group\u2018s collaborative operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something that Philipp Bausewein can only confirm. \u201cIt was a great feeling to experience that I\u2018m able to cope with a different country and an unfamiliar culture. However, my work placement business, Lentz Multimodal in Luxembourg, made it easy for me to fit in,\u201c reports the prospective freight forwarding specialist. What he is especially pleased about is that during his foreign work placement he learned a great deal \u2013 including about himself. \u201cI\u2018m looking forward to seeing how I can apply my new knowledge here in Fulda,\u201c he says. Very similar comments were made by Philomena Grosch, who did her work placement at Transfreight in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A year previously, trainees Mareike Gr\u00f6sch and Theresa F\u00fcller were already able to undertake a four-week internship in Wroclaw, Poland, at a German logistics company. They also both describe the placement as a valuable life experience, which has made them stronger people, and they could consequently imagine working abroad again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another trainee who feels that her work placement was really worthwhile is Anna-Maria B\u00f6sel, who didn\u2018t go abroad, but instead did her placement at German VTL partner Richard M\u00fcller GmbH &amp; Co. KG. Grosch and Bausewein would happily go abroad again. And Andreas J\u00e4schke is already intrigued to see how his trainees now develop. \u201cThe work placement did not only enable them to get an exciting glimpse of the unknown, but also guarantees their self-confidence and awareness in relation to their own strengths,\u201c says J\u00e4schke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-resized lightbox\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Azubis-Gste.gif\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Azubis-Gste.gif\" alt=\"Azubis-Gste\" class=\"wp-image-655\" width=\"311\" height=\"133\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Thomas L\u00fcttig (Rottbeck Spedition GmbH) and Sven Wirths (Loxx Logistics GmbH) at VTL (from left)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning things around, trainees Thomas L\u00fcttig from system partner Rottbeck in Bottrop and Sven Wirths from system partner Loxx in Gelsenkirchen took advantage of the exchange programme to get to know the VTL head office. Here they experienced lots about the VTL quality management process and scheduling and coordination in the VTL cargo transfer operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interest in the exchange programme is high \u2013 both in the partner businesses and among the trainees and thus there are already several applications for 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">New trailers for the CargoFamily<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Trailer-300x225.gif\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Trailer-300x225.gif\" alt=\"Trailer\" class=\"wp-image-657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Trailer-300x225.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Trailer-400x300.gif 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In Werte, the home of Krone, VTL managing director Andreas J\u00e4schke took official delivery of the first vehicle equipped with a special aerodynamic design. 40 further vehicles were replaced over the course of the following month at VTL\u2018s headquarters in Fulda.

Kraftverkehr Emsland deservedly won the award for the \u201aMost Innovative Idea\u2018 with its novel concept of replacing delivery scanners with smart phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With increasing pressures of time and cost and growing competition, innovative solutions that lower costs are more in demand than ever in the logistics industry. \u201cGiven increased customer demands pricing is getting more and more difficult, especially as forwarders are often not prepared to carry part of the increasing costs,\u201c explains Arno Boll, freight forwarding manager at Kraftverkehr Emsland GmbH (KVE). Therefore in the KVE smart phones four functions required for the delivery of consignments are simultaneously combined: delivery scanner, driver\u2018s mobile phone, navigation system and a camera to document, for example, any damage in transit. Purchasing normal drivers\u2018 mobiles, standard sat nav systems and digital cameras thus becomes superfluous. \u201cDelivery personnel rate the phones as much easier and quicker to use,\u201c says project manager Eugen Siebert of KVE. There is also a major cost benefit in purchasing the smart phones, as six of these devices cost the same as one scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the status gets relayed in real time into KVE\u2018s internal freight forwarding system and onto the VTL platform and through access via an Internet portal it is possible to track where the vehicle is located.
