Energy-efficient urban freight logistics: the set-up and operation of freight quality partnerships in European cities
“Freight Quality Partnerships” are being increasingly established in Europe in the last decade, bringing together local administrations, the freight industry, businesses and other interested stakeholders, with the scope to develop and support strategies to achieve energy efficient and sustainable solutions for urban freight delivery. In light of limited research available on this concept, the paper describes and analyses the results of six pilot implementations in six European cities that include the establishment and operation of Freight Quality Partnerships. The analysis provides valuable insight in terms of drawing conclusions and providing recommendations with regard to key strengths and opportunities, barriers and threats for a successful set-up, as well as efficient and long term sustainable operation of this collaborative scheme.
