A pilot project investigating evening distribution has taken place during 2005 - 2006 in a Stockholm city district (Östermalm). The project was initiated by the Dialogue Forum "Framtida Handel" where different stakeholders in the wholesale/retail business discussed new concepts to reach environmental objectives. In this report results from an independent evaluation of the project are presented. The work has been performed by Chalmers Energy Centre CEC. Quantitative and qualitative data have been collected. Driving logs have generated trip times, stop times, location of shops, trip lengths and disturbances, and group discussions have identified the opinions of the different stakeholders in the area about evening distribution as a concept. Additionally personal interviews have made it possible for the actors involved to bring forward both negative and positive views on how the pilot project had been realised. These views are important for future actions as the project addresses "real life" and the project team met many unforeseen problems which had to be solved ad hoc. The main results of the pilot project can be summarised as follows: - There was a clear reduction of the trip time by ca 10 minutes (of a total trip length of 85) when the congestion charging scheme was in operation. - There was a clear reduction of trip time to about 15 minutes for evening distribution (18-20) compared to afternoon distribution (14-18). This was confirmed by "simulated" trips made by passenger cars when morning trip times (8-9) were compared with evening trip times (18-19). - The environmental impact (calculated) is reduced by at least 20 % per vehicle related to the typical evening distribution trip lengths used in the project. The impacts are related to the average speed of the vehicles in the different traffic situations encountered. - It is easier for the drivers to unload the vehicles at the specific loading bays outside of morning hours as there are fewer competing vehicles around. However, the number of passenger cars parked (wrongly) in loading zones along the streets increased. - The success with evening distribution is dependent on the attitudes of the shop keepers; i.e. are they willing to go against a strong tradition and in favour of a change?
