Walther Ploos van Amstel (professor at AUAS) about the future in city logistics. Will it be unmanned? What is the impact of city hubs? And, will zero emission zones deliver impact?

1. Innovation in city logistics
LESSONS LEARNED FROM GREEN DEAL ZERO EMISSION CITY LOGISTICS
IN THE NETHERLANDS
WALTHER PLOOS VAN AMSTEL – AUAS – OCTOBER 2023

2. AMS MADE – city logistics
u What is city logistics?
u Focus on the real challenges
u An integrated approach to city logistics
u The role of cities

4. In freight:
35% CO2 related to city logistics

5. Amsterdam:
some facts about city logistics
u 20% of vehicles on the road
u LCV’s: 80% (daily 25.000 within A10 ring)
u Trucks: 20% (daily 6.000 within A10 ring)
u 5% of LCVs and trucks deliver 65% shipments
u LCV’s going into Amsterdam:
u From Amsterdam to Amsterdam: 8%
u From greater Amsterdam region: 46%
u From other regions: 46%
u Distance: 95-97% rides are shorter then 150 km (also for trucks)
u 1 or 2 stops
u Payload 85% less then 400 kg

6. Challenges in urban logistics
u Space and congestion: ‘autoluw’
u Emissions (CO2, noise and air pollution)
u Road safety
u Damage
u Higher cost-to-serve

7. In freight:
35% CO2 related to city logistics

8. Ambition:
Urban logistics electrified
starting 2025 (2030)
Questions:
• How to electrify
current operations?
• Where and how to
charge?
• Impact on grid?
Amsterdam zero emission zones

9. Zero emissions city logistics
Six times smarter
u Plan:
30 to 40 cities introducing inner city
zero emission zones in 2025 Impacting 40.000 trucks
and 400.000 (plus) LCV’s
u Smart vehicle (or no vehicle):
industry segment solution
u Smart driver
u Smart dynamic transport planning
u Smart charging (vehicle2building)
u Smart purchasing of energy services
u Smart regulations and subsidies
