Urban freight/city logistics

RSS - Urban freight/city logistics abonnieren

City logistics comprise the delivery and collection of goods in urban areas. Improving city logistics may address transportation methods, handling and storage of goods, management of inventory, waste and returns, as well as home delivery services.

Making this process sustainable requires efficient interfaces between long-haul transport and short-distance distribution to the final destination. It also requires efficient planning of the routes to avoid empty runs or unnecessary driving and parking. Furthermore, sustainable urban freight requires smaller, more efficient and cleaner vehicles.

Nachhaltige Warenlieferungen in Paris (Frankreich)

Seit 2007 verringert das französische Einzelhandelsunternehmen Monoprix seine Abhängigkeit von LKW-Lieferungen, indem es Waren per Bahn und „auf der letzten Meile“ mit Flüssiggasfahrzeugen (LNG) an seine Pariser Filialen zustellen lässt. Diese nachhaltige multimodale Lösung – für die unter anderem eine Bahnhofshalle im Pariser Stadtzentrum renoviert wurde – führte zu erheblichen Senkungen der CO2- und NOx-Emissionen, einer Verringerung des Lagerflächenbedarfs sowie zur Entstehung eines positiven umweltfreundlichen Unternehmensimages.

Nutzung von Wasserstraßen zum Transport von Baustoffen in Gent (Belgien)

Im historischen Stadtkern von Gent werden derzeit zahlreiche Bauarbeiten durchgeführt. Die dadurch entstehende hohe Verkehrsdichte verursacht jedoch Probleme wie Lärm und Luftverschmutzung, Gestank und andere Gesundheitsrisiken. Das flämische Institut für Mobilität (VIM), eine unabhängige Organisation, die von der flämischen Regierung beauftragt wurde, nachhaltige Mobilitätslösungen umzusetzen, testete eine Maßnahme, mit der Baustoffe über das enge Genter Wasserstraßennetz zu einer Baustelle in der Innenstadt befördert werden sollen.
