Behind the scenes of CST – Solothurn Industry Night 2022
A Swiss logistics revolution is taking shape in the middle of Solothurn in Switzerland: from 2031, the Cargo sous terrain total logistics system will connect major Swiss centres under and above ground. But how do you plan a tunnel right across northwestern Switzerland? What challenges does the digitalisation of logistics pose? What is the CST citylogistics testing for a sustainable last mile? CST gives the Solothurn Industry Night 2022 a look behind the scenes and shows the people behind the generation project for tomorrow’s sustainable supply of goods.
