Urban freight/city logistics

Abbonamento a RSS - Urban freight/city logistics

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.

Do you work in the field of sustainable mobility? Please share your experience!

Forums: 

I have created a survey intended for individuals and organizations, who are concerned with Sustainable Mobility and Urban Development. The survey seeks to gain key insights into which factors best support change (modal shift) in cities, by better understanding the priorities, strategies and experiences of all who are concerned with this topic.

Un sistema di trasporto merci sostenibile nell’area urbana di Parigi (Francia)

Dal 2007 Monoprix, uno dei principali attori della grande distribuzione francese, ha ridotto la sua dipendenza dal trasporto su gomma e per la logistica urbana su Parigi utilizza treni e veicoli a gas naturale liquefatto (GNL). Questa soluzione multimodale sostenibile, che ha richiesto la riqualificazione di una piattaforma ferroviaria di interscambio nel centro cittadino, ha permesso di abbattere drasticamente le emissioni di CO2 e NOx, di ridurre l’area di stoccaggio e creare una positiva immagine “verde” del marchio.

Il trasporto dei materiali da costruzione passa per i canali del centro di Gand (Belgio)

Nel centro storico di Gand si stanno aprendo nuovi cantieri edili. Tuttavia, il traffico pesante legato ai lavori causa problemi di inquinamento atmosferico e acustico, cattivi odori e altri rischi per la salute. L’Istituto fiammingo per la mobilità (VIM), un ente indipendente incaricato dal governo fiammingo di attuare soluzioni di mobilità sostenibile, ha realizzato in via sperimentale un progetto per il trasporto di materiali da costruzione verso un cantiere del centro storico, utilizzando gli stretti canali che attraversano la città di Gand.
