GREEN-LOG

Following the remarkable expansion of e-commerce, whose sales rates tripled between 2014 and 2020, the world is experiencing an unmatched increase in last-mile transportation. Urban and peri-urban ecosystems are faced with many difficulties as a result of this new e-commerce reality, and courier services are under tremendous pressure to provide seamless service for more frequent home deliveries. GREEN-LOG is a Horizon Europe-funded project which will develop Logistics-as-a service platforms for interconnected city logistics, automated delivery concepts using autonomous vehicles and delivery droids, cargo-bike-based innovations for sustainable micro-consolidation, and multimodal parcel deliveries integrating public transportation. The approach is deployed and validated in five Urban Living Labs: Athens, Barcelona, Flanders (Gent, Leuven and Mechelen), Oxfordshire and Ispra. Three follower cities - Arad, Helsinborg, and Valga – will be involved in testing the transferability of the proposed innovations. GREEN-LOG is a project under the CIVITAS Initiative.
