During the months of June and July 2024, international logistics has witnessed several events and trends that are reshaping the global freight transportation and distribution landscape. These developments reflect both technological advances and persistent challenges that directly impact business operations worldwide. One of the highlights has been the continued move toward automation and digitization of supply chains. Technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing route planning, inventory management and urban logistics optimization, thereby improving operational efficiency and responsiveness to changes in demand and market conditions (DHL, 2024). In parallel, sustainability has gained prominence as a central concern for logistics companies. With increased environmental awareness and stricter regulations, there is a greater adoption of eco-friendly practices, such as the use of electric vehicles and the implementation of recyclable packaging. These initiatives not only seek to reduce the carbon footprint, but also to meet consumer expectations and mitigate regulatory risks (Armstrong & Associates, 2024). However, the global supply chain crisis continues to be a significant challenge. Problems such as container shortages and bottlenecks at major ports have led to significant delays and increases in transportation costs, affecting the fluidity of operations and the ability of companies to meet delivery deadlines (Reuters, 2024). In conclusion, the period from June to July 2024 has highlighted the importance of technological innovation and sustainability in international logistics. Companies that manage to integrate these trends effectively will not only improve their competitiveness, but will also be better prepared to face challenges and seize opportunities in an ever-changing global marketplace.
