The forecasted positive development of the VTL groupage freight network is confirmed in the latest figures. According to these, turnover in 2014 is set to exceed 60 million euros for the first time, making it the most successful year in the history of the co-operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shipment volume has recorded growth of 5.2 percent over the previous year, with tonnage even increasing by as much as 6.4 percent. This result lies clearly above the expected average for the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a large number of excellent partners in our network, who have applied for a PartnerAWARD on the basis of their extraordinary increase in performance and innovative ideas. It is therefore all the more difficult to identify the very best each year. As a consequence, this year there are two winners in the categories &#8220;Innovation&#8221; and &#8220;Quality&#8221;.

(Photo: Hintzen Logistik)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hintzen Logistik GmbH has expanded its modern fleet of 80 vehicles and invested in an electrically-powered 22-tonner. With this truck the logistics company plans to begin transporting goods in the urban region of Aachen \u2013 with low noise output and zero emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>150-88-150 \u2013 these are the most important figures for the new electric truck added to the fleet of the Eschweiler transport company Hintzen Logistik in early September. With its 150 kW engine the truck reaches a maximum speed of 88 km\/h and covers a distance of approximately 150 km. In urban and regional traffic the batteries only require recharging after six to eight hours of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With this vehicle we aim to explore new paths to environmentally-friendly transport solutions,&#8221; explains Managing Director Heinz Hintzen. For him this is a natural progression, particularly in a sector like logistics. &#8220;Our core business, the transportation of goods and commodities, places a particular onus of environmental responsibility on us, which is why we are working to make the logistics of the future safer and more environmentally aware,&#8221; he reports. A glance at the figures shows that the approach is a successful one: since 2012 the company has introduced various measures to reduce CO2, lowering emissions by 73 tonnes a year. &#8220;And we do not want to stop here,&#8221; says Hintzen.<\/p>\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\/Batterie-eTruck2-200x300.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Batterie-eTruck2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Batterie-eTruck2\" class=\"wp-image-629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Batterie-eTruck2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Batterie-eTruck2-266x400.jpg 266w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Batterie-eTruck2.jpg 298w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The battery of the E-truck (Photo: Hintzen Logistik)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The electric truck represents a further step along this path. In the coming months Hintzen Logistik will be testing the suitability of this pioneering form of transport for practical use. The truck is part of a programme of the European Union to promote cross-border co-operation, in this case in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. In pursuit of this, the company E-Trucks Europe built the 22-tonne-truck, whilst the firm Triphase is responsible for battery management und Hintzen Logistik for the practical test phase. &#8220;One significant part of the research work is finding optimal charging and discharging phases in order to increase the lifetime of the batteries,&#8221; says Managing Director Heinz Hintzen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For details and to swap experiences please contact Heinz Hintzen, Hintzen Logistik GmbH, <a href=\"mailto:hj.hintzen@hintzen.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hj.hintzen@hintzen.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">Steinhart constructs apartment building for Bulgarian drivers<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actively countering the chronic driver shortage<\/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\/Steinhart-Haus2-300x225.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Steinhart-Haus2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Steinhart-Haus2\" class=\"wp-image-632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Steinhart-Haus2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Steinhart-Haus2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Steinhart-Haus2.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Construction of the new prefabricated house (Photo: Spedition Steinhart)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Spedition Steinhart has moved to actively tackle the problem of chronic driver shortages. For over a year now the freight forwarder has employed Bulgarian truck drivers, and wishes to bind these employees in the long term. To achieve this, the company is building a prefabricated house with four apartments. The building was delivered at the beginning of November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As everyone knows, well-trained drivers are almost impossible to find on the German market,&#8221; says Managing Director Manfred Steinhart. In contrast, a glance across the border to Bulgaria revealed drivers who also displayed the necessary degree of reliability and motivation. &#8220;However, we soon discovered how difficult it was for our new colleagues to make themselves at home in Germany. They have language difficulties and are not welcomed as tenants.&#8221; Prompt action was required to ensure that the new employees did not lose their motivation \u2013 and Steinhart its drivers. It was decided to build a house for them.<\/p>\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\/Steinhart-Tieflader2-300x225.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Steinhart-Tieflader2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Steinhart-Tieflader2\" class=\"wp-image-631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Steinhart-Tieflader2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Steinhart-Tieflader2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Steinhart-Tieflader2.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Transport of the roof construction by freight forwarder Steinhart (Photo: Spedition Steinhart)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is already apparent that the decision was a good one for both parties. The Bulgarian drivers can now bring their families to Germany and are not separated from them for months on end. In addition, they also receive support with bureaucratic issues and language training. They receive the same pay as their German colleagues and the construction of the house reiterates to them that they are not being exploited, but that there is serious and enduring interest in their employment. And Spedition Steinhart will also be able to perform its transport tasks reliably in the future. The colleagues contribute to minimising problems in night scheduled services in particular. &#8220;Since we have been using our Bulgarian drivers we have had far fewer sleepless nights,&#8221; says Steinhart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For details and to swap experiences please contact Manfred Steinhart, Spedition Steinhart GmbH &amp; Co.

The DKV climate protection projects are exclusively gold standard projects and are realised in collaboration with myclimate: wind energy in Turkey, biomass cookers in China and solar cookers in Madagascar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">B\u00e4chle launches mega trailers<\/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\/Bchle-Megatrailer-300x225.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bchle-Megatrailer-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Bchle-Megatrailer\" class=\"wp-image-636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bchle-Megatrailer-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bchle-Megatrailer-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Bchle-Megatrailer.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Since September Spedition B\u00e4chle has been using two mega trailers in VTL system transport. This is both economical and protects the environment: the loading volume is increased significantly from 90 to 100 m\u00b3, whilst operating costs remain the same. This means that, with correct package distribution, in optimal cases around 12 additional packages can be transported per main leg. This reduces costs per package by around 13.9 percent and reduces CO2 emissions by around 40 tonnes per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the use of the two mega trailers saves the use of around 1.5 additional vehicles per week. Positive effects for the groupage freight network: significantly more shipments are supplied and additional vehicles avoided. And customers also benefit from the new XXL vehicles. Because standard shipments now arrive significantly faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For details and to swap experiences please contact Marius Neininger, Otto B\u00e4chle GmbH, <a href=\"mailto:mneininger@baechle-spedition.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mneininger@baechle-spedition.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">VTL training IT specialist for the first time<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New trainees begin their training<\/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\/1661_6_VTL-Ausbildung2014-300x181.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1661_6_VTL-Ausbildung2014-300x181.jpg\" alt=\"1661_6_VTL-Ausbildung2014\" class=\"wp-image-637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1661_6_VTL-Ausbildung2014-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1661_6_VTL-Ausbildung2014-400x241.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1661_6_VTL-Ausbildung2014.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Christiane Fink (Executive Assistant, Training), Daniel Stederoth, Kateryna Wilfer, Lisa Dimmerling, Valeria Richter and Johanna Birkhan (Member of the Management) (from left)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This year sees four new trainees begin their working life at VTL Vernetzte-Transport-Logistik GmbH. Noteworthy here is that the groupage freight co-operation is training an IT specialist in system integration for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Companies that want to be successful in the future need to lay the foundations for tomorrow, today,&#8221; explains VTL Managing Director Andreas J\u00e4schke. Systematic development of young employees plays a decisive role in this. &#8220;With this new training we are building to ensure that we will also be able to employ the qualified staff that we require in the future,&#8221; J\u00e4schke adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same also applies for the three new trainee Industrial Clerks for Freight Forwarding and Logistics Services, who also began at VTL in August. The groupage freight co-operation is now consequently training a total of nine young people in three years and in three different professions. In addition, a dual-track student is also undergoing training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trainees can also benefit from an international exchange programme, which VTL has offered since 2012. The trainees can choose themselves whether to participate in an exchange and if yes, whether it should be national or international. VTL releases the participants for the duration of the placement and pays the costs of travel and accommodation. Training allowance also continues to be paid. In addition, following the completion of their course, the trainees can also begin a dual-track course of studies to continue their qualification. &#8220;These are key investments in the future for us, which pay off in the long term,&#8221; says VTL Managing Director J\u00e4schke. After all, VTL aims to bind committed trainees to the company and continue to employ them after the completion of their training. A glance at the statistics shows that this approach is working: in recent years 80 percent of trainees at VTL Vernetzte-Transport-Logistik have gone on to work for the company in permanent positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">VTL employees introduce themselves<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image lightbox\"><figure
