In the paper the projects proposed to the European Award for Logistics Excellence in 2011 are analysed. The Award is presented to a company or individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the logistics profession. Thus, it is possible to formulate the up to date trends of logistics technologies implemented by companies. Also the general assumptions of the winner project are presented. The project called “Redesign Dual Use Tractor Trailer” involved the design and test of a transportation concept which combines liquid and pallet freight in order to improve the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of transports and can reduce CO2 emissions and highway congestion.
