Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Dear readers! This is the ninth issue of the journal, which turned out to be very rich and diverse. Traditionally, the issue is opened by an analyst. The material by Alina Nasyrova from the Market Guide Agency, dedicated to investments in warehouse complexes in Russia, recalls the importance of developing logistics infrastructure for the integrated development of regions.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the eighth issue of the magazine and its materials.
MAN Truck & Bus RUS carried out a survey to learn how the pandemic affected truck drivers all over Russia.
More than 71% of them keep going on regular runs. Most of them (29%) do not feel that anything has changed in their work due to the pandemic, 14% face minor challenges, and only 9% of the drivers complained about the virus situation greatly affecting their work processes.
Most difficulties come from the need for additional documents to receive pass permits and safety measures such as regular cab disinfection and wearing a mask and gloves. In this challenging time, drivers turn to the support of the family and loved ones (46%), work (21%), tasty food and hope for the best to cope with stress.
MAN Truck & Bus RUS also asked the drivers what they would recommend to their colleagues and other Russian citizens. Here are the most interesting answers:
“Comply with the necessary safety measures: use hygiene products and sanitizers, wash your hands, and wear gloves.”
“Russian people are used to winning in any situation. The most important thing is to stay together and support each other in this challenging time.”
“I wish everyone health and easy roads. Keep a clear head.”
“Do not let yourself despair and feel down, and hope for the best.”
“The most important thing is to be patient and wait for the best. Everything has already changed many times before, and we will overcome this, too.”
