- Transports of goods within cities contribute to a substantial part of the total emissions generated from the transport sector, as well as congestion. Up to 20% of traffic, 30% of street occupation and 50% of greenhouse-gas emissions are generated by freight. Yet freight and distribution schemes are often structured in traditional ways. These systems lead to sub-optimisation of freight transports, with low load factors and an unjustified amount of tonne-kilometres generated by the vehicles used. The need for more efficient solutions that leads to less transport kilometres and a more sustainable economic model is obvious.
- A electric powered vehicle, able to tow up to three trailers, was put into service in 2014. The cost for the vehicle was integrated in the total operations cost, the Municipality co-financed. The project started with small scale operations managed by a security company in a small facility in the actual inner city area, and then in 2014 the logistics operator Paketlogistik took over the responsibility as operator. The current operations are financed and economically sustained by three main stakeholders: two major transport companies and the municipality. Furthermore, the advertising revenues contribute to the sustainability of the operations.
