Currently everything is on track, cars and equipment have arrived, the construction of the trail runs in the Pudong district. The China race is connected to a huge logistical effort. First, the DTM equipment was flown to the Far East, this week also followed the cars.

At the airport Frankfurt-Hahn, the 18 race cars from Audi and Mercedes, two DTM taxis, two safety cars, spare parts, wheels and tools were loaded into three jumbo jets. 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. The rest of the equipment was stored on pallets or in containers.

On Wednesday evening, the cargo has arrived in Shanghai, now is the release by the Chinese customs. But not all the air has taken 472 Dunlop tires and 7,800 liters of fuel from Aral were brought by ship to China. After the final race then travels the entire DTM cargo by sea back to Germany.

Meanwhile, the construction of the circuit is located in the urban canyons of Shanghai in the final stages – and while it runs the normal public road further. The circuit is 2.465 km long and is bordered with heavy concrete elements on which the FIA safety fencing is appropriate.

“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.
