The Green Deal is the centerpiece of the new climate protection law and is driving developments and measures forward. In some German states, legal regulations already mandate the installation of photovoltaic systems in new logistics buildings. The requirement for solar panels in existing logistics buildings and centers will follow. Initial announcements regarding this have already been made by politicians, as the EU aims to be the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

How we continue to secure the infrastructure of our key industries will be crucial for the future! In Germany today, key industries include the automotive industry, construction industry, food industry, chemical industry, electrical industry, energy production, mechanical engineering and shipbuilding.

The COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, has demonstrated that the functioning supply chain management of trade and industry is largely due to the logistical expertise of freight forwarders and contract logistics providers. The fact that there were "only" shortages like the "toilet paper crisis" will remain a humorous footnote in the future.

If we want to maintain and further expand the standards of our key industries in the future, we need a growing, dynamic logistics system that can react quickly and flexibly to market changes. First and foremost, we are thinking of modern IT. Today's complex transport processes are simply inconceivable without modern software.

The following factors also play a crucial and important role in dynamic logistics:

• Digital Intelligence (Digital Transformation, Internet Access, Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things)
• Intralogistics/Logistics (Full automation, mobility of goods and people)

• Autonomous power supply (CO2 neutrality, planning security, environmental safety)

The latter has not been given the same consideration to date and is still treated as a neglected topic.

However, autonomous power supply will also be crucial for the future in securing the infrastructure of our key industries!

In intralogistics, logistics, mechanical engineering and the manufacturing industry, there are already numerous role models working on autonomous power supply.

Here's an example:
