Looks after the management of transport by DTM series partners German Post / DHL. So that the precious cargo arrives safely in China, the DTM cars were loaded onto special racks that have been specially developed for the transportation of vehicles.

Race management, timing and other organizational units are housed in purpose-built container buildings. And the stands will be erected in the gardens around the street circuit.
Logistics in all facets
“Proximity is the beginning of a good name.” welcomed the motto recently Juergen Eberl, together with his son Thomas, owner and CEO of the family business Internationale Spedition Eberl, some 50 representatives of companies in the Euregio area in the company’s headquarters Aiging, community Nußdorf near Traunstein. Nussdorfer Mayor Hans Gnadl emphasized in his welcome speech the need for cooperation in the region in order to secure jobs. Eberl The company with its 140 employees in this regard is therefore an important driving force in the community, so Gnadl. 1.3 million business tax receipts show that the community had developed in the middle of the district of Traunstein as interesting commercial location.
The plant tour of the haulage road made clear, is how wide the company is situated along the logistical value chain. The rental of storage space, the packing of goods, provision of retail space for some companies or even the assembly, distribution and maintenance of smoking booths point to a range of services go far beyond the current idea of a logistics company out. That are spoken here in the company 18 languages, is for Junior Chef Thomas Eberl particularly important. “We can not emphasize the international nature and then speak only English” is the catchy slogan.
After the tour, said Thomas Eberl welcoming guests in the world of logistics and the logistical vehicle. In his dedicated lecture, he outlined the complex world of freight companies and freight forwarders, and went on an experience in everyday work. With 140 employees and 150 trucks are Eberl from three locations around the world and around the clock active. That the business partners a comprehensive range of services is offered to all customs formalities, has only a success factor. One hundred percent on-time delivery is as vital as a satellite-controlled monitoring of all vehicles. This is not about control, Eberl, it’s about protecting life and limb as well as its Lkw-Lenker/innen quick response in problem situations, such as when meeting missed or border controls need to be accelerated.
Particular concern was the lack of steering young Eberl. In the next few years in Bavaria alone on the 1,000 needed Lkw-Fahrer/innen, training numbers in the professional drivers but the trade lag far behind. “And with casual or weekend riders, we can close that gap even more,” says Eberl. Another highlight of the visit was the presentation of the new image film by Eberl, which contrasts impressively with catchy statements and emotionally charged images of the broad mass of such films.
Questions about penalties for delays at the hubs, the combined traffic with and without accompaniment, and container ship sizes and the Incoterms Thomas Eberl answered very precisely and thus provided enough topics for the discussion of the visitors in the final snack.
The EuRegio dialogue resumed in 2011 with six site visits, two each in the Land Salzburg, Berchtesgaden and in the Traunstein district.
