Join the 2nd POLIS-ALICE urban freight webinar and learn more about LEAD!

LEAD will participate in the second webinar in the POLIS-ALICE joint series on urban freight, exploring cooperation and new business models.

Cooperation between suppliers, customers and the public administration is essential to implement new business models, effective both for cities and industry players. More sustainable urban logistics can be achieved with reduced costs through smart consolidation of logistics operations.

The main concept of Collaborative Urban Logistics is to share resources, infrastructure, and transportation to perform last-mile delivery in the urban area. However, there are many challenges in Collaborative Urban Logistics, e.g. service level, service contract design, contract performance etc.

Urban consolidation centres (UCC’s) are usually introduced by local governments to reduce the number of motorised freight vehicles entering their cities. Freight flows from outside the city are consolidated with the objective to bundle inner-city transportation activities to reduce the volume of distribution activities in the city. They reduce traffic and congestion around sites in urban and peri-urban areas, thus noise and overall emissions from the transport sector.

The second appointment of the POLIS ALICE 2022 webinar series gives the floor to the CULT initiative and the EU-funded project LEAD, to better understand the experience and applications implemented in the cities of Antwerp and Madrid.

You can register here.
