With the theme "All Electric - Logistics in the New Era of Mobility," the Automotive Logistics Forum emphasizes the strategic direction towards the future of personal transportation. Electromobility has firmly established itself in key markets such as China, Europe, and North America. The intense competition for leadership in electric mobility, coupled with challenges related to the scarcity of raw materials, semiconductors, and battery cells, introduces unprecedented complexities for logistics, particularly in the realm of intralogistics.

In addition, legislative initiatives like "Fit for 55," the "Critical Raw Materials Act," and the "Net Zero Industry Act" bring forth additional regulatory demands. Aiming for 50 percent of critical components to be locally sourced necessitates a comprehensive transformation across the entire industry. This transformation prompts fundamental questions, the answers to which pose a significant challenge for the forum in 2024. The forum's objectives are to deliberate on solutions for the supply chain in the context of new mobility and to generate thought-provoking ideas for the industry's development.

• How can transparency be ensured down to the raw material level?

• How is the supply of battery cells and semiconductors secured?

• What are the transportation methods for battery cells?  

Topic Focus:  

• How can transparency be guaranteed right down to the raw material level?
• How is the supply of battery cells and semiconductors secured?
