Dear readers! We are pleased to present to you the eleventh issue of the journal in 2025. There are a lot of relevant and useful materials in the issue, which, hopefully, will not be ignored.
Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
The article discusses the placement of multi-modal terminal and logistics complexes (MTLC) in places of close interaction between different modes of transport. Particular attention is paid to placing MTLC in the logistically unique place ‒ city Gudermes, Chechen Republic which is located at the intersection of the Trans-Caspian route TRACECA and Astrakhan direction of the North-South corridor to the Caspian Sea countries and beyond.
Key words. Multimodal transport and logistics sector, Transport and logistics center (TLC), transport infrastructure, Novorossiysk port, TRACECA, port of Makhachkala, the North-South corridor, the Chechen republic, Gudermes.
