Trafikkontoret, 2016Description: 28 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: The transport of goods, both over long distances and within cities, contributes 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. The SMARTSET project developed and showed how freight transport in European cities and regions could be made more energy-efficient and sustainable by a better use of freight terminals. To reach this overall goal, the project provided examples of good practice that support cities, regions and countries to contribute to the European Union „20-20-20“ targets for reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and improvement in energy-efficiency. SMARTSET was structured around three core aspects: - Market based business models providing an outline for various strategies and distribution solutions to be implemented through organisational structures, processes and systems. - In order to make city centres more attractive, the introduction of clean and energy-efficient vehicles for last mile distribution; the use of intermodal transports was also facilitated. - Incentives and regulations that improve the possibility to make the business models profitable and financially sustainable.The transport of goods, both over long distances and within cities, contributes a substantial part of the total emissions generated from the transport sector, as well as congestion.
