4 III The study design what should be investigated? As is analysis Trends Benchmarking Market survey/interviews Recommendations for action The goal of the study was to analyze the Nürnberg logistics region in a holistic way and to examine how far the activities in this sector should be expanded. Thereby always taking into account the question: What do investors want?

6 V Increasing goods flows on the road having an effect on Nürnberg HGV transit traffic East West 2002 HGV transit traffic East West 2020 Quelle: Acatech Mobilität Perspektiven für den Verkehr von Morgen. Stuttgart East West Traffic is shown The Eastern European expansion of the EU leads to more trade on the East West corridors According to the prognosis, there will be an increase of approx. 180% on the A6 until the year 2020 Moreover, a considerable increase is to be expected on the A3 page 6
