AI Adoption and Sustainability in Logistics Industry

This report presents findings from a multi-country survey conducted by HERE Technologies, focusing on the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability goals within the transportation and logistics (T&L) industry across Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The survey reveals that only 50% of T&L professionals utilize basic data analytics, while 25% leverage AI capabilities, indicating significant untapped potential. Key barriers to technology implementation include cost, potential disruption to existing services, and lack of internal expertise. The report also highlights a concerning gap in sustainability prioritization, with a majority of respondents lacking defined sustainability goals. Despite the emphasis on sustainable practices, many organizations are not developing metrics for sustainability. The study concludes that while T&L professionals recognize progress towards real-time supply chain visibility, substantial challenges remain, particularly in achieving full visibility and optimizing operations. The findings aim to guide professionals in navigating current opportunities and challenges in the logistics sector.
