Driver shortage, pressure for efficiency & technology


The transportation industry is facing a historic turning point. According to the Financial Times, the global market for autonomous trucks and driverless transport logistics will reach a volume of $616 billion by 2035 (Source: Financial Times, 2025).

The reasons: a massive driver shortage, increasing cost pressure and the need to make transport processes more efficient and resilient.
What was still a distant dream just a few years ago will be reality by 2025:

In the US, driverless trucks from Aurora are rolling daily on Interstate 45.

Amazon, FedEx, and UPS have been testing autonomous delivery vehicles for years.

In Europe, logistics companies such as Einride, Scania, and DB Schenker are implementing the first driverless concepts – with regulatory support.

But autonomous trucks alone will not solve the logistics problem. Without digital, intelligent control, they remain inefficient.


Why it's not just about driverless trucks


Even if autonomous trucks are becoming increasingly a reality – for example, in the US or Sweden – they won't automatically solve the industry's structural problems. Without intelligent control, efficient capacity utilization,and a digital ecosystem, even autonomous vehicles will remain inefficient.

And this is precisely where carmovia comes in.


The answer is: intelligent platform instead of rigid system


carmovia is not just a booking platform but a digital scheduling partner for commercial vehicle transport – and sees itself as the answer to the three major bottlenecks in the industry:

  • Driver shortages – more efficient route planning and targeted bundling of transports ensure better utilization of capacity.
  • Transparency – thanks to digital booking, live tracking, and customized workflows, customers always have an overview.
  • Empty trips – intelligent suggestion logic and AI-supported optimizations prevent unnecessary trips.

"We want to achieve a near-automatic planning of orders. This way, we get the most out of every kilometer – economically, fairly, and predictably for everyone involved."
– Umut Dasdemir, Managing Director of carmovia


AI as a lever – but thought pragmatically


carmovia already uses artificial intelligence – for example, for order distribution, automatic route planning suggestions, and avoiding empty runs.

The long-term vision is clear:

  • Automatically record, analyze, and schedule orders.
  • Optimize routes based on capacity, route, and deadlines.
  • Replace manual searches with data-driven planning.


carmovia always remains pragmatic: Only what delivers real added value is automated. Experience and sensitivity remain irreplaceable – especially in operational practice.


Conclusion: The market is growing – but not with old tools


The expected billion-dollar market for autonomous and digital transport solutions shows that investing in intelligent scheduling today lays the foundation for sustainable growth – even without 100% automation.

carmovia offers the scalable solution for this.

And above all, we are ready for the future.
