 Within the transport and logistics sector there are many stakeholders that take different roles in the informational value chain[1]. Read more »

Mainly three different types of transport motivate the urban logistics, namely the intra-urban transport (i.e. local transport), inter-urban transport (i.e. the transport being part of longer transport chains) and return/waste transport. Common for all three, is:

 Logistics efficiency is one of the main challenges that need to be addressed in the upcoming years in Europe. Especially in transport logistics operation, a closer look reveals that today we have to deal with a high degree of inefficiencies in this area.

Contemporary supply chains are becoming longer, leaner and more brittle. The likelihood of an event occurring may or may not have increased, but contemporary industry trends have magnified their potential impact on the manufacturer concerned and very likely, those immediately adjacent to them.

Yesterday morning, in the official base of Insiel in Trieste, the press conference on the conclusion of the project "Euridice" (European inter-disciplinary research on intelligent cargo for efficient, safe and environment-frendly logistics) took place. Euridice has been the first research project aimed at the development and diffusion of the so called "intelligent cargo", that marks a turning point in the field of ict application for transport logistics.

A widespread opinion among experts and policy makers is that when (mind: when!) we exit from the current crisis, it will be with a fundamentally changed economic model. Sustainability and C02 reduction will be growth factors, i.e., key elements in almost any company’s value proposition, rather than being simple cost factors and policy constraints.
The transport logistics sector is, in this respect, a perfect candidate for change: few industries have such huge margins for CO2 reduction, and these translating into economic savings (at least in theory). Read more »
