Cities face surge in demands for fast home-deliveries increasing market share of online platforms, Just Eat Takeaway.com, Milkrun and Meituan. Europe and China aim at reducing polluting vehicles in city-centres, giving more space for pedestrians and cyclists. This coupled with digital transformation of delivery systems provide opportunities for new urban-logistics solutions.
SINERGI proposes a comprehensive solution for sustainable city-logistics. Private and public stakeholders will provide pilots in Amsterdam, Shanghai, Singapore, and Copenhagen. The project outputs enable delivery providers to offer cost-efficient services considering well-being of riders. Public authorities can develop a set of actions on road safety and citizens’ welfare.
