Rubrik 2 Issue One 2013 Content 08 Title The project of the century From autumn 2013 onwards, a railway tunnel will link Europe and Asia: the Marmaray Project is currently the biggest building site in Europe. 14 Report 500 grams of bolts From single nails to a tonne of cement: How does all the necessary material get to the building site? A look behind the scenes at a builders merchant. 18 Innovation Guiding transport on the building site The BPW subsidiary, idem GmbH, is presenting “TControl ConStruct” as a useful instrument for transport optimisation. 21 Portrait Transports with environmental credentials The Braunschweig company, Rüdebusch Baustoffe und Transporte e. K., relies on the latest technology to protect the environment. 24 Industry Quality instead of bargain prices Selling German trailers all over Europe: This is quite normal nowadays, not least because of specialised internet portals. 28 International With both feet on the ground Tough competition: The Australian transport market has continued to grow in spite of the global financial crisis – thanks to companies like Casabene. 32 Portrait »We are specialised from A to Z« A fleet full of special vehicles: The Schade Logistic haulage company delivers to building sites all over Germany from Jessen in Saxony-Anhalt. Dear Readers The first half of 2013 is characterised by two important in- dustry shows: the bauma in April, and transport logistic in June. Both of these shows are well matched for BPW. At the bauma, we will be presenting ourselves as a running gear specialist for special applications – with the slogan “Axles all areas. Powered by BPW.” At transport logistic, we will be concentrating on telematics. We feature our latest innovation, TControl ConStruct, on page 18 of this magazine. This edition of trailer world is also influenced by the topics of construction and intelligence from various perspectives. Following the IAA year in 2012, this means we continue to have the opportunity in 2013 to position BPW as a leader in quality and innovation for running gear technology. The further link between running gear and telematics sets us positively apart from new players and organisations in the market. BPW offers the right solutions for all users who are taking a look at their fleet investments from a sustainability perspec- tive and are not only considering the purchase costs but also operational costs such as consumption, maintenance, repair and service as well as the resale value. Follow us on this “economical path” – and enjoy the latest edition of trailer world!
