Central and Eastern European manufacturers are seeing a double-digit decline in orders, while truckers are trying to shift capacity to domestic rather than cross-border routes. Multinational forwarders with strong ties to the region are expected to win business as shippers become more wary of local firms and, despite the current fall in orders, CEE manufacturers could pick up business previously centred in Ukraine.
