LOGISTICS 4.0 HAS BEEN REGISTERED FOR THE NAME OF EKOL 
Giving a speech in the meeting in which Ekol’s renewed face was introduced, Ahmet Musul, Chairman of Ekol Logistics, said:
“We will start the journey, which we started in 1990, 27 years ago, once again with a new face and more contemporary viewpoint as of today. The world has been in a very serious transformation in the recent years and technology started to access each stage of our lives. We are entering a period that will affect almost each  level of our lives and that will affect the production, distribution, and management systems. We, as Ekol, tried to do things better and be a banner-bearer in our job and to bring innovations to our sector. I can proudly say that we have reached most of our targets.” 
Explaining that Logistics 4.0 has been registered for the name of Ekol, Musul continued as follows: 
“We also try to be a leader in the Industry 4.0 as well. We have a structure with which the outfits are stored and loaded onto vehicle without touching with hands. The structure we have called digital technology, artificial intelligence, and big data  have started to provide different solutions from the ones  I have just mentioned. As Ekol, we are conducting studies regarding them. Our target is to go one step ahead in the competence presented to us by technology. With our new logo, we tried to bring a more competent approach to the new understanding and new period. Logistics 4.0 is now a motto registered for the name of Ekol in the world.” 
 
AIMS TO EXPAND IN 50 COUNTRIES IN 2020
Ekol that provides nine return trips a week with its six Ro-Ro ships with 240-trailer capacity between the ports of Haydarpaşa, Alsancak, Lavrio, Trieste, and Sete and that conducts its trading activities with 48 block trains to the provinces of Germany’s Köln, Ludwigshafen and Kiel, Czech Republic’s Ostrava, and France’s Sete and Paris progresses rapidly toward its target of being Europe’s leading logistics company. Musul pointed out that they did not receive revenues from outside Turkey in 2011 but they increased their revenues from abroad to 15% in 2016 and said that they were aiming to increase that amount to 20% this year. He added that their goal was to increase the number of the countries to 50 in 2020, which is currently 15, and said, “In addition, we also increase our 5,500 vehicles to over 10 thousand, the number of our ships to 11, and  our storage capacity to 1,5 million square-meters. Our target through these investments is to have 1.5 billion-euro turnover in 2020.” Musul stated that Turkey will have a very modern gate of entrance with their Ro-Ro terminal they put into service through a large investment in Yalova and that they would inaugurate the port in three weeks. Musul explained that they were planning to increase the number of the ports to three by purchasing a port in Greece in addition to Trieste and Yalova. Underlining that Ekol is by far a leader in Europe, though not in terms of tonnage, owing to its intermodal transport solutions, Musul said, “Thanks to our intermodal transport solutions, we are using the motorways only in 50 kilometer of the 3 thousand 500 km road in nearly 70 percent of our shipments. Our present intermodal lines are between Turkey and Europe. However, we are planning to present intermodal solutions on the lines of East-West Europe, North-South Europe or North Africa, and South Europe in the subsequent years as well. We will establish a line between Yalova-Constanta-Poti with the port of Yalova that we will put into service. Our objective will make the Ekol flag fly in the Mediterranean, Caspian, Adriatic, and Black Sea, along with the European Union countries by 2020.” 
 
AIR BRIDGE BETWEEN EUROPE AND IRAN 
Ekol aims to get a significant share from the trade between Europe and Iran. Musul stated that Ekol Logistics ranks second in Europe in intermodal transport, that it will be the leader in next to no time, and that, when it  comes to air transport, they wish to establish an air bridge between Europe and Iran. Musul said, “As we are able to provide services between Turkey and Europe in 36 hours, maximum 48 hours, the industries like automotive and electronics are obliged to use air services to a significant extent. It is not possible to reduce the shipments between Europe and Iran to below eight days due to either the winter conditions or bureaucratic preventions. However, there is the reality that Iran has a very significant ratio of automotive manufacture capacity. We predict that subsequent to the renewal of the automotive plants in Iran, their relations with Europe will be much more intense than today. In this scope, we are planning to establish an airline company that will conduct transports between Europe and Iran.” Stating that they have established the most modern and biggest storage area of the country in Iran, Musul said the following: “The Safran facility we are establishing is being designed to serve with multi-purpose. We are aiming to have a structure with multiple users, which will appeal to the industries of fast consumption, textiles, automotive, and pharmaceuticals. The facility consists of two phases. In mid 2018, the construction of the section with full automation and 60 thousand pallet capacity will start. The construction of the other section is still ongoing. We are planning to put it into service toward the end of this year.”  
 
SAVES A FOREST WITH A SIZE OF 850 FOOTBALL FIELDS 
Ekol provides substantial contributions to the conservation of the environment through the intermodal solutions it has developed.  Ahmet Musul said, "With our intermodal transport solution, we save from diesel fuels that will save a forest with the size of 850 football fields and provide  the opportunity of touring around the world 170 times every month by inflicting lesser damage on the environment than land transport through our transport solutions.” 
Arzu Tan, Ekol Logistics Corporate Communication Director, has introduced their new website. The new website Tan has introduced was prepared suitably for the VR technology that ensures visiting the facilities virtually and the new intranet that is completely mobile and social media compatible and that allows the use of all employees in 15 countries in their mother tongue was prepared in line with Ekol’s new brand strategy.
