Logistics sector shifts toward flexible transport and operational support
The logistics and real estate sectors are increasingly adopting flexible models to address operational challenges. In the transport sector, short-term leasing of refrigerated vehicles is becoming a strategic solution for businesses like catering and hospitality to manage seasonal demand peaks without the financial burden of long-term fleet expansion.
Simultaneously, logistics real estate providers are evolving from mere space providers into active operational partners. Due to challenges such as grid congestion, nitrogen regulations, and the need for increased automation, companies like CBRE, Prologis, and Montea are offering deeper integration. This includes assistance with warehouse layout, automation, energy supply, and space optimization to help tenants maximize efficiency within existing footprints.
