Project objectives
SPOTLOG' s main vision is to involve local communities in creating socially responsible logistics systems, based wherever possible on zero-carbon modes, through the intelligent use of all available resources and taking advantage of the digitalisation of goods and passenger transport services. By focusing on low-density communities and medium-sized cities, SPOTLOG partners aim to improve regional policy instruments toward the European goals of inclusive and carbon-neutral mobility.Activities
- Promoting trust between stakeholders for better inter-sector collaboration.
- Integrating logistics into the urban mobility processes and improve the connectivity to wider functional areas.
- Building professional capacity in planning and impact assessment and improving the coherence of the legislative framework, regulations and sustainable urban logistics plans.
- Providing resources to foster digitalisation on last-mile urban logistics.
- The follow-up phase will be devoted to monitoring policy improvement in each region.
Results
- Based on a multidisciplinary consortium with heterogeneous backgrounds, SPOTLOG partners will build a co-creation platform focused on: • Share knowledge and spot good practices regarding innovative ways of effi cient logistical distribution and zero-carbon modes.
- Promoting trust between stakeholders for better inter-sector collaboration (e.g., by fostering collaboration between passenger transport and logistics companies, distributors and local commerce).
- Building professional capacity in planning and impact assessment of the various solutions and improving the adequacy of the legislative framework and sustainable mobility plans.
