Sustainable solutions in urban freight & logistics management: European experiences

Abstract

There is a lot of investigations and experimentations with diverse solutions for a more sustainable urban logistics in UK and Europe, but a limited number of initiatives demonstrate a long term success if measured in terms of business profit, applicable regulation, environmental benefits and social acceptance. Looking at evidence from CSR reports, supported by standards, and results of projects and documentations, the objective of the workshop contribution is to understand the mechanisms of various solutions, and show how benefits are generated for different stakeholders. Focus will be on business models and technology solutions on clean vehicles, intermodality, ITS and cooperation, and how these can be supported by suitable regulatory options such as Low Emission Zones, Environmental Standards or data collection frameworks
