Wheels that move the world: Land transport and logistics
Sure, large cargo planes and giant container ships are the stars of logistics. But just as important are the good old (or, as in the case of Skyline Express, very modern) trucks. These massive vehicles form the backbone of the German logistics industry and enable the smooth transport of a wide variety of goods across the country. In this blog post, we'll therefore examine the significance of trucks for logistics in Germany, the types of goods they transport, and the fundamental infrastructure of the German road network.

The Importance of Trucks for German Logistics
Trucks are the indispensable workhorses of the German logistics industry. They dominate land transport and are responsible for moving goods to every corner of the country. From fresh food and industrial goods to consumer goods, trucks play a crucial role in moving goods over short and long distances. The flexibility of trucks makes them particularly valuable. Unlike other modes of transport, trucks can reach almost anywhere, from remote villages to the city centers of major metropolitan areas. This flexibility makes it possible to deliver goods precisely where they are needed and contributes to the efficiency and competitiveness of the German economy.
The Diversity of Goods Transported
The range of goods transported by truck is impressive. Fresh produce such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products are delivered by truck, as are electronic devices, building materials, and furniture. If the logistics industry is the engine that keeps the economy running, then trucks are at the heart of this system.
Skyline relies on its own truck fleet
Because trucks are so essential for smooth logistics, Skyline Express expanded its portfolio in the summer of 2023 by acquiring and renaming the former GLASLINE LOGISTIK from Detmold and adding its own truck fleet. The acquisition and integration of the long-established Leopold Ewald GmbH & Co. KG from Lage is also part of our strategy to ensure the high quality of our services.
