The article provides an overview of modern approaches to the study of digital twins and assesses the state of their implementation in transport logistics. The authors show features of the digitalization formation and identify barriers and prospects for the development of digital twins in the transport and logistics sector. The analysis and systematization of methods used to define the concept of a digital twin, the structure and typology of digital twins in logistics are carried out. Certain promising areas and links in product supply chains, in which digital twins are being implemented especially actively, are highlighted. The paper concludes that the implementation of digital technologies and digital twins in transport logistics can become an effective tool for its transformation in modern conditions if the development and implementation of digital twins is carried out within the framework of product supply chains based on cooperation between industrial companies and related companies, with the active support of the state.
