Urban freight transport in city strategic planning - ScienceDirect

Urban freight transport in city strategic planning - ScienceDirect | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
The issue of urban freight transport in city strategic planning is discussed in this paper. There are two main purposes of the paper - a theoretical one and empirical one. The author's concept of maturity levels of cities in planning and implementing activities in favor of urban freight transport is the theoretical objective, while the empirical objective deals with the analysis of selected European capital cities in terms of urban policy in creating long-term plans in the area of urban freight. In order to achieve these objectives the author has conducted a survey among selected European cities. As a result of the conducted survey, the description of the process maturity levels of studied cities with the use of a taxonomic measure in the field of planning and implementing urban freight transport actions has been proposed. The concept of process maturity of cities in the field of planning and carrying out actions in urban freight transport may be a practical tool for local authorities willing to self-improve and develop in this field.

Cargo Bikes on the Rise: Reimagining City Logistics

Cargo Bikes on the Rise: Reimagining City Logistics | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

ECF’s new article series shines the spotlight on the cargo bike, a rising star in the sustainable transition of our cities, by taking a closer look at what roles cargo bikes play in Brussels and Lisbon, two major European cities.
Without a doubt, cargo bikes show great potential to increasingly shift away from motorised vehicles. In Europe, it is estimated that 50% of all motorised trips that involve the transport of goods in cities could be shifted to cargo bikes and bicycles. Private trips represent the biggest potential with two-thirds of all motorised trips being convertible to cargo bikes, an estimation that foreshadows a bright future for cargo bikes and families.

TOWT : le transport de marchandises toutes voiles dehors

TOWT : le transport de marchandises toutes voiles dehors | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
TransOceanic Wind Transport s'emploie à réhabiliter le fret à la voile, pour proposer une alternative durable et écologique au transport de marchandises par porte-conteneurs. Car si celui-ci reste très compétitif, il est aussi très gourmand en pétrole, une ressource non éternelle et dont l'impact environnemental est catastrophique. TOWT en revanche mise sur le vent, le voyage au long cours et le commerce de produits de qualité pour renverser la vapeur !
