Not «breath-» but wireless
Bluepath Robotics, an internal innovation project at the Ford subsidiary Otosan, which was spun off at the end of 2023, develops and produces autonomous mobile robots for a wide range of intralogistics applications. Now, Wiferion enables the inductive power supply of the AMRs.
Electric monorail system for Quark & Co
NÖM produces a wide range of dairy products, yogurt, butter, and curd cheese from approximately 450 million kg of milk from 2,200 farmers in the region build a fully automated shipping warehouse with comprehensive conveyor technology for 26,000 pallet spaces.
The fire is left without air
The fire protection specialists of the Wagner Group have been honored with the "GIT Safety Award 2026" for their "OxyReduct F-Line." The system expands the OxyReduct process with H2- based fuel cell technology, which simultaneously ensures emission-free energy supply.
Temperature-controlled at the motorway junction
Movianto, a logistics service provider specializing in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, is setting up a new cold storage facility in Wiesloch-Walldorf this month. A photovoltaic system there produces approximately 3,100 MWh per year, more electricity than the site consumes.
Fusion reactor in creep mode
Despite all the political turmoil currently shaking the world, work on the ITER fusion reactor, in which countless nations are involved, continues – much like on the ISS. Recently, another of the 15-meter-high segments for the future plasma chamber was delivered by heavy-duty transport.
Nonstop strapping
Mosca offers a comprehensive portfolio of integrated end-of-line systems for transport packaging, strapping machines, stretch wrappers, and associated consumables. Strapping made from materials such as PP and PET is produced with increasing recycled content.
Dynamic open-plan area
Relocations often involve considerable effort. Furniture needs to be transported, boxes packed, and unwanted items disposed of. The company " Optimal Umzug " from Lachen, Canton of Schwyz, offers services tailored to the greater Zurich area.
Optio L-Series updated
Developed with the user in mind, the completely redesigned generation of low-level order pickers in the Optio L series from TMHE sets new standards. Increased platform lifting heights, low entry, and versatile model variants for loads up to 2.5 t make these devices highly sought-after helpers.
Cold chain in transition: Ambitious goals
Temperature-controlled logistics is facing an energy revolution: battery-electric trucks, long-range hydrogen vehicles, and cryogenic cooling with nitrogen are transforming the industry. Enough "material" for the SVTL to discuss future processes and alternatives at Galliker in Altishofen.
DLR expands drone defense
While Russian drones have long been surveying German bases and critical infrastructures as potential targets for their “ asymmetric warfare ” a project called CUSTODIAN (Counter-UAS Technologies for Detection, Interception and Neutralization) is now slowly gaining momentum at the DLR.

DHL Parcel has taken delivery of six Volvo electric trucks in the British capital, which will be deployed starting in January 2023. Later this year, 30 new long-haul liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks will also be added to the fleet.
DHL is thus taking another step toward reducing emissions from its transport and delivery fleet in Great Britain and toward Deutsche Post DHL Group's goal of achieving net-zero emissions logistics by 2050. To achieve this goal, the group plans to invest over €7 billion in sustainable fuels and clean technologies by 2030 alone. The conversion of the DHL fleet for pickup, delivery, and scheduled services to electric drives and sustainable fuel solutions is said to be an important lever in this process.
The 16-ton Volvo FL electric trucks are each powered by four 200 kWh batteries, enabling a range of almost 200 km – with a maximum load of 12 pallets with a transport weight of up to 6 tons. The batteries are charged overnight at central DHL Parcel locations in London, allowing them to be used daily for transport in the city center.
Once the installation of a bio-LNG refueling infrastructure is complete and drivers have been trained in safe refueling, the 30 new LNG trucks will join the vehicle fleet at the new DHL hub south of Coventry Airport. With a range of up to 600 kilometers per tank, the trucks will be used for scheduled services throughout the UK. When running on bio-LNG, the tractor units' CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 85% compared to a conventional diesel engine with the same power output of 460 hp.
