Catalogue information
The establishment of EVO was an initiative of a number of large companies and the umbrella employers' associations in agriculture, horticulture, wholesale and industry. In 1940 they united in the Own Transporters Organization, E.V.O. The organization focused on the function of logistics within companies, operating across industries. E.V.O. was thus the first logistical advocate. At first only for our own carriers, but soon also for shippers. The name EVO has existed since its foundation. Due to the entry of shippers in the various modes of freight transport, the composition of the membership changed and on January 1, 1946, the official name changed to General Private Transport and Shippers Organization, while retaining the abbreviation E.V.O. In 1968 EVO became an acronym and in 1986 the name Entrepreneurs Organization for Logistics and Transport was added.
