If implementing the policy goals of governments is a problem on the horizon, the problems confronted by logistics operators within cities is here and now.
Accurate, on-time and economic delivery is the key to success but congested roads, legal constraints and man-power issues are a constant source of frustration. Often stand alone solutions to these problems are proposed and test modules deployed yet without engagement in the wider context, the full benefits of innovation fail to mature.
Our aim is pollution free city logistics and for this, the mere use of alternative-powered vehicles will not be enough. The total structure of urban logistics has to be re-analysed and a holistic approach adopted. Our academic institutions have research, the city and its citizens have the need, can you provide the means?
- Promoting sustainable urban freight logistics
- Removing barriers / solving problems
- Development, testing and implementation of freight logistics innovations in Vienna.
