The stands of many of them will introduce innovative solutions designated for fuel control and management, reduction of fuel costs, transport monitoring, planning of routes, management of logistics activities – i.e. what becomes an ever more important part of and necessity for transport business, enabling to increase the competitiveness of the transport and logistics sector. This theme will reflect in the main event of the exhibition – the international seminar designated for multimodal intelligent transport systems, which is organised by the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Lithuania in conjunction with the Norwegian transport authorities and the VGTU. During the conference it will be sought to analyse the prospects for the development of intelligent transport systems, integration of different modes of transport, to discuss the priorities of the European Union's policy on intelligent transport systems and to put forward recommendations for coordination thereof in Lithuania. In addition to the mentioned themes, the exhibition "TransBaltica" will introduce various transport services: loading works, warehousing, terminals and warehouses, passenger and cargo carriage. At the participants' stands the visitors will find equipment, maintenance consumables, spare parts, machinery and mechanisms designated for filling-stations, car repair and service companies.
