2024 edition

Opening Plenary Session | Tuesday, October 16 | 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. | Room 76
​

The year 2024 saw a decline in road transport prices due to a new balance between supply and demand. Meanwhile, cost trends (excluding diesel) were also moderate, with the end of inflation and wage adjustments. This conference will provide an opportunity to better understand the challenges ahead for 2025, to understand the components of road transport costs, and to analyze the reasons behind carriers' requests for rate increases. We will also take a look at the costs of electric fleets.

To open this edition of Top Transport, several experts and witnesses will answer these various questions during the conference:

• Mathilde Vassas, senior manager at PWC
• Alexis Giret, director of the National Road Committee
  ​

Moderated by Jean-Paul Meyronneinc, professor at Paris 1 and Dauphine, founder of Meyronne FCE

Wednesday, October 16 | 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. | Room 76
​

With sustainable development goals and the exponential increase in carbon taxes, all avenues are being explored to decarbonize maritime transport. Sail propulsion is now part of the portfolio of solutions offered to shippers wishing to transit via green corridors. How are they driving this radical cultural change within their companies? How can obstacles and taboos be overcome? This round table will feature testimonials from pioneering shippers who are committed to this approach. Beyond volumes, some are even investing in the construction of sailing cargo ships out of conviction. Transit time, safety of goods on board, handling and storage conditions, temperature... These are all factors that are now integrated into a redesigned sustainable logistics system.

The following speakers took part in this conference:

• Matthieu Brunet, Director at ARCADIE and Co-founder of WINDCOOP
• Lise Detrimont, General Delegate of Wind Ship
• Djamina Houdet-Caseneuve, President and Co-founder of HISSEO
