Manufacturers of bottles and tins implement the Cartonplast pool system because it ensures hygienic transport to the filling plants. The plastic layer-pads are cleaned in the CPL service centres and repeatedly reused. Damaged layer-pads are completely recycled. The logistics process chain constitues a rapidly rotating cycle, which is cost-saving, ecological and sustainable.

I greatly appreciate the fact that I can find out, at the click of a button in PTV Map&Guide route planning, whether there are any suitable additional freights in Teleroute for the tour I have planned. It's a great opportunity to fully utilize our trucks and   avoid unproductive empty runs with very little additional expense.

We have been deploying PTV Map&Guide for vehicle and trip scheduling in national and international freight transport for more than 10 years. Even after such a long time, it is still the leading truck navigation planner in the transport sector. As far as I know, there is no other comparable product on the market at the moment that is so well adapted to the needs of modern truck scheduling operations.  PTV has once again demonstrated its willingness to innovate and constantly develop and improve its products with the integration of the unique new NAVTEQ truck database; this includes the most recent road restrictions with regard to weight, size and hazardous goods. Keep up the good work!
