Namely, the German colleague displayed the latest "green" technologies for cargo transportation that reduce negative impact of transport to environment. The exhibition also displayed sub-industry sections related to customs and warehousing services, infrastructure (airports, railway stations, ports), and cargo insurance.

During the Congress representatives of Delivery World had a chance to get acknowledged not only with the latest achievements in freight forwarding, but with the specific and bright culture of the modern Taiwan. Increased impact of globalization on freight forwarding became the key topic of the congress.
