In partnership with KPMG

Are driverless vehicles already becoming a reality in Russia and is the current digital infrastructure capable of handling fully autonomous transport? Development of a digital platform for the transport and logistics sector in Russia and establishment of the related digital environment are the basis for implementing the above objectives and are at the core of digitalization in the sector. These developments will support offering unique digital services to transport users and applying advanced technology and software developed in Russia. They will facilitate the integration of previously separate IT systems operated by individual transportation companies and facilitate the transition of multimodal logistics to an entirely new level. A number of pilot projects to integrate Russia into the global transport and logistics system have already been launched to achieve these ambitious goals. These pilots are spearheaded by the leaders of Russia’s transport industry united in the Digital Transport and Logistics Association. The joint efforts of the government and business community can lead to a breakthrough in digitalizing transport, strengthening the position of Russia as a leading nation in logistics, and creating a crucial transit corridor linking Asia and Europe. At what stage of completion is Russia’s digital platform for the transport industry? How far along is Russia in creating a digital transport and logistics environment? Has the digital infrastructure for driverless vehicles been set up in Russia? How can Russian solutions for driverless vehicles be integrated with the leading European solutions? What are the results of the Digital Transport and Logistics Association’s pilot projects? What other projects are in the pipeline, and which new members have joined?
