News and insights for European logistics.

In one of our previous articles, we introduced you to what a TMS, i.e. a transport management system, is and explained what tasks it can be used for by companies from the logistics sector. But what does it look like in practice? We invited four Coyote Logistics experts who use TMS on a daily basis to share their comments and reflections on working with the transport management system. Here's what they told us. The following people participated in the roundtable discussion: Anna Rauch, EU...

In the 1989 film "Back to the Future part II" we see a fantastic vision of 2015, where cars not only fly, but are also powered by engines powered by garbage. It's 2023 and cars still haven't taken off in the air, as in the cinematic vision from years ago, but fuel from waste has become - in a sense, admittedly - a fact. Modern automotive industry is rapidly moving towards zero emissions. Electric cars are already an everyday sight on European roads, and models powered by hydrogen cells are...

Urban legend says that in the 1950s, when the English Channel was covered in thick fog, the headline of a French newspaper read: "England cut off." At the same time, the title "Continent cut off" allegedly appeared in the British press. Regardless of whether the anecdote is true or not, it perfectly reflects not only the spirits of both nations, but also the key importance of the English Channel in communication between the British Isles and the rest of Europe. Centuries of social and...

On our blog you can read about semi-trailers: their history, development and types. This is understandable, because the loads are placed on the trailers, which will then set off on the road to reach the destination. But this would not be possible if it were not for tractors units, which are used to haul semi-trailers. We will definitely write about the history of tractor units in the future. But today we want to introduce this topic on our blog from a slightly different angle. We will take...

The year is 2029. Auto Trucks - big semi-tractors with even bigger semi-trailers - are speeding along the highways in the rural USA. What's so special about them? Tractors do not have driver’s cabins. Why? Because they are autonomous vehicles that do not need drivers at all. This is how the future of road transport was imagined in 2017 by the creators of the sci-fi flick entitled "Logan". Will driverless trucks really be on the roads in just a few years? It's really hard to say, although...

But a lot with industry and transport in Europe. Intrigued? Let us explain. Blue banana: where does this term come from? The world first heard about the Blue...

Next year we will celebrate its 100th birthday. But it may be older, it depends on which of the two most frequently given dates of its birth we consider valid. It is hard to imagine what road transport would have looked like if it hadn't been invented. Since its inception, it has undergone a huge evolution and today we see it on the roads in many varieties. We are talking about the semi-trailer, of course. Here is its story. The invention of the semi-trailer: two fathers, two dates of birth...
