Transport industry
The transport/transportation and logistics industry is a category of companies that provide services to
Dow Jones Transportation Index
(DJTA).
In the EU, the transport industry directly employs around 10 million people and accounts for about 5% of the
fossil fuels and represents an important source of CO2 emissions.[1][2] Emissions from road freight transport have risen by more than 20% since 1995, counterweighting the increased energy efficiency of vehicles.[3]
Logistics and transport as the basis of
global trade is worth over 5.7 trillion Euros.[4]
Global players
According to Forbes Global 2000, FedEx is the biggest transportation and logistics company in the world in 2021, closely followed by UPS.[5][6][7]
