While numerous cities were seen experimenting with battery-powered electric buses, automakers started launching an increasing number of enticing electric car models in an attempt to replace car trips and reduce congestion. At the same time, charging infrastructure rose as one of the most pressing issues holding back vehicle and heavy-duty fleet electrification alongside an increase in transportation-related emis-sions, which were the most significant contributor to carbon dioxide emissions in the United States. By the end of the year, the continued proliferation of digital transformation proved to a major driver for the entire industry's growth.In 2020, the use of data in planning and managing transportation will continue to grow dramatically in the industry. Many companies have already started integrated learning algorithms in their systems to improve routes and predict the ever-changing demand in specific markets. Going forward, technologies like AI and Big Data will be leveraged for advanced geocoding abilities, route optimization, demand prediction, and warehouse automation, to name a few.When it comes to continued evolution, companies will start focusing on tracking technology, reflecting the increasing demand of consumers for increased traceability and visibility along logistics routes. The proliferating use of anti-theft GPS will fuel this evolution as it can give near real-time locations for entire fleets, reduce fuel and labor costs, automate tasks, and improve the overall fleet efficiency and productivity. With increased security, companies can also deter losses across the board.Much like 2019, this year continue to see the shift towards Self-driving Fleets with 5G wireless connectivity over the horizon. This change has also paved the way for new players in the market and opened up many new opportunities in the industry. The new era of transportation will also focus on going "green" or completely electric, as many countries and companies vow to cut down on carbon emissions. Innovations like electric trucks are at the helm of this development. Emerging technologies alongside the introduction of new business processes have restructured the way transportation companies have operated, and this trend will likely continue beyond 2020--especially as technological innovation will lead to sustained growth.In this edition of Logistics Transportation Review, attention is given to those enterprises, which have presented the latest solutions to enhance the efficiency and pro-ductivity in the transportation industry. We hope to provide our readers with valuable insights from these articles and the minds behind it.Let us know your thoughts!Stephanie MatthewManaging Editoreditor@logisticstechoutlook.comStephanie Matthew
