Urban freight A view from the European Commission Måns Lindberg, Policy Officer, European Commission, DG Mobility and Transport, Intelligent & Sustainable Transport Unit (B.4.) 18/10/2018 Mobility and Transport
The starting point – transport challenges in cities Transport provides vital functions to EU cities, enabling economic growth and access to jobs. But urban mobility = still mainly conventionally-fuelled passenger cars, leading to: Ø Congestion: estimated €110 bn lost/year in EU Ø Climate change impact: emissions rising + urban transport = 23% of CO 2 tran. emissions Ø Health impact related to poor air quality = over 500 000 premature deaths/year in the EU; + similarly for physical inactivity (+ €80.4 bln lost/year) Ø Road accidents: 25.500 killed in 2016 in EU, with 40% of them in urban areas Ø Inefficient use of space: motorized vehicles are not used 96% of time yet still up to 1/3 of space in cities is dedicated to their infra which could otherwise green areas, public space, bike paths, housing etc.
Challenges & opportunities for urban logistics • Digitalisation • Intelligent Transport systems (ITS) • Connected, Cooperative and automated Mobility (CCAM) • Mobility as a service (Maas) • Autonomous vehicles • E-commerce • More parcel delivery – more congestion • Uber freight, Amazon flex… • Automation • Urban Vehicle Access Regulations (UVARs) • Road safety • Multimodality/last-mile deliveries • Using clean modes of transport (e.g. battery electric vehicles, cargo bikes…) • Consolidation (UCC, bundling…) • Drones Sharing economy •
EU key policy documents
Transport White Paper (2011) 10 objectives, 3 related to urban mobility (1) Halve the use of (8) By 2020, establish the (9) By 2050, move ‘conventionally fuelled’ framework for a close to zero cars in urban transport by European multimodal fatalities in road 2030; phase them out in transport information, transport. In line with cities by 2050; management and this goal, the EU payment system aims at halving road achieve essentially CO2- casualties free city logistics in by 2020 major urban centres by 2030
Urban Mobility Package (2013) Together towards competitive and resource- efficient urban mobility Guidelines on SUMPs Working documents on: vehicle access regulations, city logistics , urban road safety and urban ITS. CL: particular attention at the following areas: Manage urban logistic demand Shift modes Improve efficiency Improved vehicles and fuels Member States should consider city logistics national approaches to urban mobility
Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning •A Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan is a strategic and comprehensive plan designed to satisfy the mobility needs of people and businesses in cities and their surroundings for a better quality of life . •Introduced by 2013 Urban Mobility Package to improve accessibility of urban areas and provide sustainable mobility and transport • COM supports cities in developing SUMPs: Ø Platform on SUMPs, on 'one-stop-shop' portal: www.eltis.eu Ø Funding and capacity building for cities to develop SUMPs: currently three dedicated CIVITAS projects Ø Annual SUMP Awards and Conference • SUMP guidelines Currently being revised with urban freight an important part Mobility and Transport

EU Research & Development actions
The CIVITAS Initiative What does CIVITAS stand for? ‒ CIVITAS - cleaner and better transport in cities – stands for CIty-VITAlity-Sustainability. What is CIVITAS? ‒ CIVITAS is a network of cities for cities to achieve cleaner, better connected transport solutions in Europe and beyond. CIVITAS in 4 key points: ‒ Living “labs” & research projects ‒ Network of cities for cities ‒ Public Private Partnerships ‒ Political commitment

The EIP-SCC Marketplace Overview The EIP-SCC is an initiative supported by the European Commission. 01 Facilitate partnership creation between a variety of actors (industry, investors, Aiming at overcoming market cities…) fragmentation in smart cities 02 Engaging with policy projects, the EIP-SCC brings makers and enabling together cities, industry and demand/supply dialogue citizens to improve urban life Stimulate investments and 03 through more sustainable enhancing market potentials enabling supply / integrated solutions. demand dialogue 04 Create high impact solutions and share Its Market Place has more knowledge to duplicate and replicate than 6,000 members from 31 countries .
The EIP-SCC Action Clusters
Facilitate bundling of smaller investments by cities and industry: 5 urban mobility initiatives in Smart cities EIP Urban Air Mobility New Mobility Services: Aim: 'learning by doing' approach to demonstrate and deploy NMS/ITS/ C-ITS and data. EV4SCC: Aim: EU-wide dialogue on electric vehicles in smart city initiatives. Already has 76 partners in 19 countries. (EV logistics) Alternative Fuelled Special Vehicles: Sustainable and 0 emission Intelligent Mobility for Energy vehicles for Sweeping, Refuse Transition: Collection, etc Aim: “Going beyond 0 emissions”. Aim: Establish a Sustainable & Focus on intelligent power + Integrated Guideline for Cities intelligent integration. sustainablemobility@eu-smartcities.eu
New Mobility Services: Cities, regions, industry jointly prepare deployment actions of innovative urban mobility solutions in 6 working groups Passenger demand driven first/last mile solutions Parking solutions Intelligent Speed Adaptation Multi-modal Transport & Logistics in Smart City Context Building the Traffic Management centre of the future Changing roles / business impact / regulation / governance Please contact Edwin Mermans , Tamara Goldsteen , City of Helmond ( emermans@brabant.nl ) or Ivo Cré, POLIS (ICre@polisnetwork.eu) if you would like to join.
