Rising Complexity Becomes Defining Challenge in Vehicle Logistics, INFORM Study Finds

Rising complexity overtakes growth in vehicle logistics

A new INFORM study highlights a double challenge for the industry:
While vehicle transport volumes are expected to grow, companies are simultaneously facing increasing operational pressure.

While 79% of companies expect rising transport volumes, operational pressure is intensifying across the board.
84% cite increasing costs as the dominant challenge, alongside growing efficiency demands and volatile volumes.

At the same time, many networks still lack the transparency required for reliable planning and execution:

  • 76% report insufficient ETA visibility
  • 68% see gaps in capacity transparency
  • 66% lack transport status visibility

INFORM’s conclusion:
Transparency alone is no longer enough. The real challenge is turning operational data into better decisions across the network.

Although 94% of respondents see strong potential for AI, the focus is shifting towards decision intelligence – supporting planners in complex, dynamic environments rather than replacing them.
