Reinventing the Wheel: how road freight transport could change the world

The inaugural lecture of Professor Phil Greening 3 April 2019. The wheel has been the technology centroid of logistics for 2000 years. It, along with the horse’s bottom, literally defined the shape of infrastructure and that in turn has determined the way we do logistics. Our inherited past determines the pathways of the future – or at least until now. The world is changing: the digital revolution, new energy vectors, and the environmental imperative are combining to develop a perfect storm from which radical changes will emerge, making it increasingly difficult to predict what the future of logistics will look like. Professor Greening's Inaugural Lecture will examine the history of logistics and how it may or may not define the future configuration of a digitally smart, energy integrated, and environmentally friendly logistics system.
