Freight transport and logistics

Freight transport and logistics

It’s difficult to imagine a city of happy and healthy citizens without logistic services. From basic necessities like food and water, to the delivery of important legal documents or the latest fashion to your favorite store… everything revolves around logistics. At the same time, it’s important to remember that the vehicles used to transport goods to and from cities don’t only bring good things. Without the help of the latest technology, these fleets can bring with them tremendous amounts of pollution and noise. They can also, rather ironically, have a negative effect on the very thing they are meant to help with – the flow of goods in a city. The question, therefore, centers around a balancing act – how do provide freight and logistic services that drive economic activity in a sustainable way? How do we get goods into, out of and around cities in a safe, efficient and environmentally-friendly way? The first step is cooperation – between local authorities and business. Making sure that each of these stakeholders is on ‘the same page’ – working together to maximize economic activity while minimizing environmental impact. Developing policies that encourage a sustainable attitude in relation to logistic services and freight transportation is one of the most significant challenges faced by cities as they plan for the future! Let’s not forget that a major part of the problem is coming from inside the city itself. An ever-growing population means the need for more of everything – from food to fashion accessories. Developing a network that is ready for this increase in demand isn’t going to be easy. Our cities are going to get bigger…much bigger! Innovative technologies like autonomous vehicles can help, but they are only part of an ecosystem – one that’s going to require building awareness among citizens and tremendous investments in infrastructure. What needs to change and who needs to do what? This thematic track explores some of the possible answers to those questions.

Key Points

  • Optimizing use and management of infrastructure
  • Traffic management, parking management, loading and unloading
  • Road access
  • Long-distance networks, vehicle platooning, charging
  • Smart urban freight, urban freight, business models

You should be particularly interested in this track if you:

  • Work in the automotive industry (particularly as an OEM or TIER 1 supplier)
  • Provide tech/IT solutions that can potentially be used to impact mobility
  • Represent an EU body, national or local government
  • Operate a fleet
