Abstract
Urban Transport Policy in Europe: Meeting City Demands for Green Logistics
takes an in-depth look at the current initiatives and legislation currently
being planned and implemented across twenty cities in twelve European
countries across both West and Eastern Europe. The issues addressed are those
that will have the greatest impact on providers working within the express,
logistics or supply chain arena.
For the operator and logistics solution provider, this drive towards an
eco-friendly environment and the resulting ' green solutions' poses real
challenges. In the foreseeable future commerce and the environment are always
going to be unlikely allies.
Environmentally friendly solutions cost not insignificant sums. How does the
freight operator or courier express company stretch an already challenged
bottom line to accommodate an operating environment that is increasingly
hostile, focusing more and more on pollution? This is especially relevant
where legislative authorities are introducing solutions that focus on the
causes of pollution paying for the effects.
Exceeding 200 pages, Analytiqa' s European Urban Transport Policy report will
keep you fully informed of the latest developments in:
- Parking controls
- Access regulations
- Road pricing and toll schemes
- Emission regulations and vehicle standards
- City logistics and urban freight schemes
It is critical that hauliers, courier and express, logistics and distribution
companies across all sectors understand and account for changes in their
operational environment.
This report will assist decision makers within these organisations to ensure
correct future investment into vehicles, resources, strategies and services
that are not only compliant with future environmental legislation (Euro 4,
Euro IV, Euro 5, Euro V, etc) and developments, but more importantly, are
considered and hence able to take full advantage of some of the opportunities
the future, ' greener' , market will provide.
An understanding of trends and developments in urban transport policy across
specified European cities will assist in defining future fleet strategies. The
research sets out to identify details of existing and, where possible, future
legislation and policy that will impact upon the operations of commercial
vehicles in the cities covered by this report.
Investments in inappropriate types of fleet, poor judgments in relation to
inherent costs or a lack of awareness regarding the development of shared and
consolidated load solutions, could cost any operator significant sums, far
more than what is actually needed. In fact, it could even cost the very
survival of the business.
This report will assist in ensuring that you are fully informed in devising a
strategy that accounts for the challenges inherent within a greener,
environmentally friendly market without compromising your stakeholders,
shareholders and of course most importantly, your customers.
