  • Willi Betz va ouvrir une plate-forme à Eupen
    Le groupe allemand Willi Betz a acheté un terrain à Eupen en Belgique, non loin de la frontière allemande. Il est en train d’y construire une nouvelle plate-forme dont l’activité sera principalement axée sur les transports de et vers le Royaume-Uni et, dans une moindre mesure, de et vers la France. Ces installations seront opérationnelles vers le mois d’octobre de cette année. Des activités commerciales n’étant pas prévues pour l’instant, l’investissement reste relativement modeste.
  • Les pays émergents auront besoin du transport routier pour “décoller” économiquement
    L’ouverture progressive des marchés va provoquer un essor des transports nationaux et internationaux dans les marchés émergents. Il s’agit pour ces pays de concilier croissance et respect de l’environnement, c’est-à-dire de mettre en place des structures de développement du transport durable. La question qui se pose dès lors est de savoir si ces pays pourront réaliser leur croissance de la même manière que les économies occidentales, c’est-à-dire via un “boom” du transport routier, ou s’ils devront tenir compte de l’expérience européenne et sauter cette étape afin de suivre la politique qui est désormais prônée en Europe. Des débats au Congrès mondial de l’IRU à Bucarest, il est ressorti que cette émergence économique ne pourra se faire sans miser dans une très large mesure sur le transport routier. Mais, étonnamment, ce n’est pas des milieux de la route qu’émanait le discours le plus fort en ce sens, mais bien d’un observateur neutre, la Banque Mondiale.
  • DAF a redessiné son XF95
    DAF Trucks commercialisera en octobre de cette année une nouvelle version de son poids lourd 95XF. Ce modèle populaire introduit en 1997 recevra un sérieux lifting et sera rebaptisé en XF95. DAF a revu le design et proposera un certain nombre de nouveautés techniques au niveau du châssis et du moteur.
  • Philip Van gestel (HNN) plaide pour une plus grande flexibilité du travail portuaire
    Les mesures introduites par les autorités concernant le marché de l’emploi, comme le crédit-temps ou la retraite anticipée ont d’importantes conséquences pour la disponibilité de la main-d’oeuvre. Elles placent les manutentionnaires anversois devant de graves problèmes. Ils doivent trouver suffisament de personnel qualifié pour répondre à la croissance de leurs activités. Suite à l’offre très restreinte de main-d’oeuvre, ils ont cependant été confrontés à une croissance des coûts du personnel largement supérieure à la moyenne nationale (7,2% contre 4,8%). C’est ce qu’a déclaré Philip Van gestel, le CEO de Hesse Noord Natie, jeudi soir lors de la “cérémonie de clôture” de l’année académique 2001-2002 de l’Institute of Transport & Maritime Management Antwerp (ITMMA) de l’Université d’Anvers.
