Network for Transport Measures

NTM are proud and happy to announce a very exciting autumn member meeting on the 10^th of  November. Our much respected key note speaker, Professor Alan McKinnon will attend and present his knowledgeable views on the topic of supply chains resilience and environmental sustainability.

The context, of course, involves  pandemic effects, disruption of transport and supply chains, the on-going conflicts in the Ukraine and potential conflicts in other regions, energy prices sky-rocketing, price inflation in general etc. Hence sustainable logistics and supply chains faces severe challenges. The questions are certainly vital for any operation and should for sure be given top priority among business and societal leaders.

Our much-respected lecturer, Professor Alan McKinnon has done work for the International Transport Forum, the World Economic Forum and World Bank on supply chain resilience and been examining its relationship to sustainability.   Given his deep knowledge about sustainable logistics, adding resilience issues will certainly mean an interesting and invaluable afternoon.

In addition, we will of course present more operational progress within NTM.

The meeting is virtual through Teams and will start at 3 pm and end at the latest by 5 pm.

The annual member meeting aims to kick off several digital lectures on present and future primary energy sources for the transport industry. The transformation towards use of clean and renewable energy is highly dependent on available primary energy sources. Not the least electricity where most industrial sectors seem to look for their future solutions.

Shifting transport operation towards use of renewable sources by 2050 meanwhile fulfilling present and future transport demand is likely to require different solutions for different time perspectives, linked to available energy sources and other scarce minerals.

The first seminar will deal with general transport related forecasts on energy demand. Later on, we will invite experts on potential sources such as wood, crops, power from hydro, wind, photovoltaic, nuclear and also other potential primary energy sources.
