1 Session C2 The freight challenge: Developing a sustainable urban freight policy Integrating Sustainable Urban Logistics Plans (SULP) development with the SUMP process: Key lessons from 9 European cities Giorgio Ambrosino MemEx Srl IEE ENCLOSE Project Coordinator MemEx general manager US-TRB Urban Freight Transportation Committee Logical Town Association Board

2 City Logistics in Urban Areas Responsible of quarter of overall urban transport CO2 emissions (and 30-50% PM and NOx) Relevant traffic component in the city (15% of circulating vehicles) Very low load factors for delivery vehicles (i.e. 38% in London) Regulated/influenced by public authorities (at different levels) Operated by private companies, in general of very small dimension (85% with less of 5 employers, subcontracted for urban trucks) Frequent/instant deliveries due e-commerce, click/collect, food on demand, home delivering, store downsizing, etc EU Policy: Achieve essentially CO2-free city logistics by 2030 Many services, schemes and best (or worst) practices In any case the capability to choose and planning is necessary

3 Key role of Public Authority Policy, Rules, Measures Specific objectives in relation to urban and mobility plan Setting urban freight regulation scenario (time/space) Incentives for green vehicles (shopkeepers, operators) Access in relation to goods/time/vehicle typology Enforcement schemes and control activities Make existing infrastructure available (ICT included) Scenario Less resources for investment and management Facilitator role with respect to the different actors involved Need of integration with the overall mobility policy Towards Sustainable Urban Logistics Plan

4 Small and Medium Towns 21 cities with more than 1 million inhabitants 180 cities between and 1 Ml 1364 cities between and IEE-ENCLOSE ENergy efficiency in City LOgistics Services for Small and Mid-sized European Historic Towns Lucca, Trondheim, s Hertogenbosch, Burgos, Almada, Dundee, AlbaIulia, Serres, Balchik Point of view of City and Public Authorities

5 ENCLOSE Main Results Implementation and operation of Pilot Services in Lucca,Trondheim and s Hertogenbosch; Soft measures Burgos, Almada, Dundee, AlbaIulia, Serres, Balchik Development of Feasibility Study in 6 ENCLOSE Follower Towns FEV requirements for Urban Logistics services Sustainable Urban Logistic Plans in 9 ENCLOSE towns By Common SULP methodology/guidelines Knowledge and experiences exchange and training courses Promotion and Communication PORTFOLIO including Methodology and 9 SULPS

6 SULP concept A specific Plan for designing solutions within mid-term horizon and managing city logistics SULP as key part of SUMP devoted to freight distribution processes All the 9 ENCLOSE towns developed the SULP as part of their SUMP or as starting point for SUMP development SULP methodology is based on SUMP approach

7 SULP methodology structure

8 SULP and SUMP Mutually Interrelated: one push the other Common high level objectives Common participatory approach Common definition of regulation framework Common need of training courses and practical expertise to choose Common need to understand the related barriers and operation and organization impacts Sharing data base, collection and analysis tools Sharing some infrastructure, ITS systems, devices Sharing support conditions and operation dimensions Sharing some rules and enforcement measures

9 Urban Consolidation Center in ENCLOSE Municipality Initiative: Top-Down approach Last Mile and Cross Docking Services UCC Final destination of transport operators and/or of shops Long Range Transport Operators At the beginning: 6 Follower Towns fashioned by UCC Special transport operators City Access Rules push the transshipment, consolidation, cooperation, UCC productivity

10 Only Almada confirmed the UCC measure while the others defined a set of soft measures answering the indentified need

11 Focus on SULP measures in Almada (PT) New Loading & unloading regulation Enforcement measure by access control Pick-up point utilizing existing structure (FLEXIBUS depot) Micro Consolidation Centre for market Cargo Bike for last miles Van sharing for own account delivery Urban Consolidation Center (long term) Market Micro UCC

12 Coordination of demand: low cost solution! Agreement among the shopkeepers for: - Cooperation with UCC (if any) - Same base suppliers - Common delivery time window - Use suppliers with clean vehicles or cargo bike - Van sharing schemes for own account delivery Low Emission Zone

13 SULP in practice SULP implementation can be a gradual process depending on the needs and characteristics of the town and objectives SULP can t require advanced systems or heavy infrastructures or great investments use the existing infrastructure, technologies and mobility solutions SULP work firstly on city regulations in terms of parking and access policy with respect the use of road space SULP shall include incentives for the adoption of clean vehicles, sharing schemes and cooperation schemes SULP shall create a permanent forum among the different social/economic actors and with the other Authority level SULP pay attention the new TNC taking into account the service quality and regulation
