Abstract: New technological developments (alternative drive systems, autonomous driving) and changed framework conditions (economic, ecological, political-regulatory, social) have a massive impact on companies in all sectors. In particular, companies in the transport and logistics sector are exposed to a very dynamic and turbulent market environment. This sector is characterised by a number of special features which have a strong influence on the competitive environment. These include, for example, the single European market, strong market transparency and the acute and increasing shortage of mobile workers.The business model change in the transport and logistics sector has been taking place for some time now, using the example of road-bound transport vehicles as an example. This is a result from the increasing outsourcing activities of industry and trade as well as the increasing online trade and mail order business. A development from classic transportcompanies to full-service logistics companies has been perceived so far, as this allows higher added value to be achieved for logistics companies. At the same time, the number of tonne-kilometres transported annually is rising sharply. In addition, there are current political and social demands for the use of alternative drive systems and the developments surrounding autonomous driving, which will also have far-reaching effects on the established business models of these companies.
