Call issued for more efficient transport demand managementTransport operators need to improve the efficiency of their demand management policies in order to cope with rising levels of demand.

This is the assertion of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which has released analysis claiming financial constraints and bottlenecks are hampering the industry.

In the Transportation & Logistics 2030 report, the organisation and its partner the Supply Chain Management Institute of the European Business School stated significant challenges face companies in the industry over the next two decades.

Based on the Delphi survey in more than 29 countries, it compiled the views of experts on the subject and posited provision of transport infrastructure will continue to be dominated by industrialised countries.

According to PwC global transportation and logistics leader and partner Klaus-Dieter Ruske, financing problems occur at all levels and both public and private sectors must find ways of addressing these.
