    Press Release

    PRESS RELEASE LOSTnFOUND AG is cooperating with TimoCom Tracking solutions via TC eMap® tracking facility Düsseldorf, 7th May 2013. The telematics and tracking systems of LOSTnFOUND are a permanent factor in day-to-day business in the transport industry. Similarly, a large part of companies involved in the transport sector utilise the freight and warehousing exchange of TimoCom. Now, both companies are working together and, as a result, they can provide unique offers to their customers in terms of effectiveness and safety. The idea sounds very simple to begin with: Many carriers and freight forwarders use on-line freight allocation platforms in order to avoid empty trips and thus, achieve extra revenue. In order to enhance the safety for freight providers and contractors, there is, in fact, nothing better than the integration of telematics solutions in the allocation platforms. So far, however, such cooperation between telematics providers and transport exchanges has been sought in vain. However, this is exactly the step that LOSTnFOUND and TimoCom are now taking. The company based in Düsseldorf has completely revised its calculation and route planner TC eMap® and supplemented it with a tracking feature. The tracking features of LOSTnFOUND can be located with the help of this feature. This innovation is being showcased at the transport logistic 2013 trade fair to the public in Munich for the first time. Safety, Efficiency and Competitive Edge The benefits are at hand. Customers of LOSTnFOUND can use TC eMap® directly, provided that they are also customers of TimoCom. In this manner, transport service providers can have their own vehicles tracked by a customer and also located vehicles of other parties on their own after this feature has been released for them.

The Irish company Ray Moran International Limited, which offers its vehicle fleet composed by 40 trailers for transports between Ireland and mainland Europe, is well aware of this. The company recognised how important it is to handle transport business quickly, professionally and with flexibility. So that the vehicles are used to capacity, its employees use the market leading European freight and vehicle exchange TC Truck&Cargo®. Advantages of the online platform Ray Moran International Limited was founded in 1997 and is specialised in the transport of dry freight including pharmaceutical products, computer equipment, machinery and general cargo. The company is based in Wexford, close to Rosslare Europort, which facilitates direct shipment of freight to Dublin and to the south and west of Ireland. Also France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium as well as the rest of Europe's mainland are driven to regularly.

    The Impact of the Transportation Route on the Price for the Realized Transport

    The Archives of Automotive Engineering – Archiwum Motoryzacji Vol. 81, No. 3, 2018 5 THE IMPACT OF THE TRANSPORTATION ROUTE ON THE PRICE FOR THE REALIZED TRANSPORT SALVADOR HERNANDEZ1, JURAJ HAMMER2 Oregon State University, University of Zilina Summary The price for the transport is determined by the carriers based on the costs incurred when the carriers transporting. Carriers are currently able to identify variable costs, the height of which changes with the change in the realized output and also fixed costs, which are dependent on the operating time of the means of transport. Carriers have the differences in the cost of the shipment for each destination they judge through the differences in charges for the use of the road network. It is also necessary to consider the possibility to backhaul transportation the vehicle for concrete transportation. The aim of this article is to verify the hypothesis, whether the change of the transport route is affected at the carrier's expense and in case, that is to quantify the impact of the transport route to the price for the transport carried out. We assume the effect of changing the shipping route also changes over time, therefore, the goal of the contribution is to identify changes the impact of the shipping route on the price within one week and to identify whether changes are developing in individual countries in the same process. Research is conducted on the basis of a situation survey in 19 European countries over a period of more than 3 months.
