Towards Clean, Safe and Sustainable City Logistics

Towards clean, safe and sustainable city logistics

21st February 2012

Polis office, 98 rue du Trône, Brussels

Chairs: Sylvain Haon (Polis) and Gianfranco Burzio (CRF)

9.30 - Welcome and objectives of the meeting, Sylvain Haon, Polis

9.45 - European initiatives for urban freight delivery, European Commission

10.00 CityMove project, introduction and overview of progresses, Gianfranco Burzio, CRF

CityMove works at the development of an innovative vehicle for urban freight delivery. It reconsiders logistics operations, the whole vehicle architecture, its propulsion (considering hybrid and full electric options), and various benefits from technology.

10.20 Report on the results of the first user group meeting, Sylvain Haon, Polis

10.40 - CityLog, Lina Konstantinopolus, ERTICO

The Citylog projects aims to contribute to the improvement of the overall city logistics efficiency through a combination of several measures:

§  Technology (Info-telematic support functionalities)

§  Process review (Vehicle-to-vehicle transhipment,new load units)

CityLog works on optimized trip planner, ad hoc map attributes for commercial vehicles, dynamic navigation services and last mile parcel tracking.

It considers low environmental impact and safe vehicles, looking at complementary set of vehicles to implement the “Freight bus” concept, on-board telematics for clean and efficient mobility and safety and maneuvering support systems.

CityLog also integrate Logistic model & load units such as New compact container and Mobile automatic pack stations (BentoBox)

11.00 – TNT in Citylog, Wim Deloof TNT Global Express S.p.A. Strategic Operations Development Manager

11.20 – coffee break

11.40 – Better understanding new urban freight vehicles operations, Volvo

CityMove has carried a detailed analysis of user needs and functional requirements, gathering data from administrators, freight carriers, manufacturers, residents, etc. This has allowed drawing conclusions on the vehicle concepts requirements and on the urban freight delivery system as a whole.

CityMove also ran a simulation tool and models to test the new vehicle concepts and compare with traditional ones in different situation in the urban context.

The new vehicle concepts resulting from these analyses identified four key items:

-  Safety for vulnerable road users;

-  Emissions and noise reduction;

-  Energy saving;

-  Flexible multi usage truck, able to handle dry and refrigerated goods in the same time with easy access to goods.

Followed by a consultation of the participants

12.40 - lunch

14.00 – Urban Vehicle design for greater efficiency, CRF

Presentation of the state of play in CityMove in the definition, design and development of solutions for greater efficiency:

-  Modular urban architecture for the vehicle;

-  Integrated energy management logics and systems;

-  Innovative ecological hybrid driveline;

-  Innovative body with two compartments with regulated temperature, allowing to load frozen and dry goods;

-  new technologies for fuel economy and eco-compatibility in refrigerated goods delivery (CC)

-  Application of CO2 refrigerating fluid (environment friendly solution) with a high effect on the greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

Followed by a consultation of the participants

15.00 – Greater safety of all users on the road with advanced urban freight vehicles and operations

·  Predictive anti-rollover functionality for Urban Goods delivery Trucks

·  Pedestrian / vulnerable-user protection functionality for Urban Goods delivery Trucks

·  Collision avoidance - Driver assistance functionality for Urban Goods delivery Trucks

Followed by a consultation of the participants

16.00 - Overview of other relevant initiatives on urban freight delivery and opportunities for further activities in 2012, Polis

16.30 – End of the meeting

Each consultation of the participants will be supported by a specific questionnaire which will facilitate the exchange.

It will follow a presentation of the CityMove project on the specific approach and achievement of the projects on the topic addressed.
