1 Best Practices in urban freight Jacques Leonardi BESTFACT Conference Klaipeda, 23 October 2015

2 Objectives of Urban Freight Best Practices assessment in BESTFACT To inform on Best Practice cases in urban context Trials and demonstrations of technical feasibility and economic profitability Sustainability Decarbonisation Profitability Social acceptance Impacts estimates or assessments Sources, references, Contacts, networking 2

3 Why is it important to get good cases? Innovation or nothing new? Feedback on technology feasibility <--> user experience How to scale-up to industry size How to transfer to other businesses, other cities The assessed cases were good, Bestfact was good as well You (the workshop participants and the partners) provided the key information (on business case and impacts) everybody is waiting for 3

4 What is a good case description? Focus on the most crucial key questions Cost-benefits: why are the costs lower or the profit higher or the cost-benefit ratio better? Why is the solution more efficient? (cost-, transport-efficient, environmentally/external cost-efficient) Good and bad experience (warning): not a one-sided praise but a balanced, (market)independent review Identify candidates for scale-up and transfer candidates for the in-depth survey Find out more than internet homepage download information 4

5 Freight Decarbonisation: opportunities, potential savings at global scale, and estimate of feasibility Source: World Economic Forum Accenture 2009 Background: Urban freight in France: about 60% of total freight ghg emissions of a large operator

6 BentoBox TNT test in Berlin Courier parcel services has a vehicle fleet including bikes, cargo bikes and light commercial vehicles. Before the start of the BentoBox pilot, deliveries were made to different customers. The tested solution was used as a consolidation hub or decentralised stock for collecting and delivering the shipments from and to customers. Drivers had a personal access to the BentoBox. This new stop enabled the drivers to extend their range when using (e)bikes, reducing the kilometres driven by conventional vans. Positive impacts on traffic situation and emissions. 6

8 Multi use lanes in Barcelona 6 boulevards today are multi uso with side lanes restricted to: 8:00 to 10:00 general traffic 10:00 to 17:00 pick up and deliveries only 17:00 to 21:00 general traffic 21:00 to 8:00 on street residential parking Variable message signs inform drivers of the regulation in real time 8

9 Multiuse Lanes in Bilbao The idea resides in multi-purpose use of a lane meeting the needs of traffic and based on time slot: Free parking: from 9:00 pm to 8:00 am Booking for loading and unloading (heavy vehicles only): from 08:00 am to 12:00 noon Normal circulation: from 12:00 to 9:00 pm Transfer from Barcelona why only in Bilbao? 9

10 Multi-Use Lane Benefits (Business Case) - Reduction of parking & unloading in wrong place - Optimization of the distances travelled - Satisfaction of the carriers, less fines - Residents satisfaction, more free parking space - Reducing pollution by less lag in the second row - Extension of parking space in peak hours 10

11 Supermarkets deliveries using waterways in Paris 80 Franprix stores supplied by a multi-modal chain in 3 legs: 1. In the warehouse in Chennevières pallets are loaded in containers and transported to the port of Bonneuil-sur-Marne (8 km) by road. 2. In Bonneuil the containers are transhipped in an inland vessel and carried on the waterway up to the Paris river port of La Bourdonnais, near the Eiffel Tower (about 20 km) 3. then unloaded to a truck for delivery to stores in West of Paris. This multimodal organisation reduces the impacts of the operations: road congestion in Paris, energy use, GHG emissions, noise and accidents. 11

13 Chapelle International, urban rail hub planned in Paris Full-electric barge with own crane, operating in Amsterdam 20 m length, 4.25 m width, 85 m3 load capacity Barge is used together with trucks and vans Replication from Utrecht Best Practice 13

14 Cooperation of 4 major retailers in Lithuania Oligopoly of several retail chains lead to highly optimised urban logistics solutions. Supermarkets and stores are located in all towns and cities across the country. All shops are now served from several mutualised logistic centres, where requested goods are loaded in consolidated shipments to large vehicles Reduction of the number of trips Impact on fuel use, fuel costs and emissions. 14

21 Key Challenges and Outlook Growth in electric freight and Urban Consolidation Centres Renaissance of use of multiple modes due to the sustainability debate High price of centrally located real estates Receive good before-after data on costs and benefits Transfer good practices to other businesses and countries Up-scale of successful trials Prototype small-scale large scale industry scale More projects and trials needed 21
