CIVITAS NOVELOG Mechelen Workshop: "Sustainable & efficient logistics: what role for micro-consolidation?"
CONGRES CENTER LAMOT HAVERWERF 2800 MECHELEN, BelgiumWorkshop
City freight distribution is in full evolution. With the establishment of limited traffic areas, delivery time windows, low emission zones, development of pedestrian shopping areas and the evolution of e-commerce, the logistics sector faces new challenges. There is a need to test and implement new methods for the pick-up and delivery of goods.
(Micro)-consolidation represents a solution to deliver goods in a more efficient and effective way. Lockers systems are examples of smart consolidation.
Within the scope of the participation in the NOVELOG project, the city of Mechelen is running a pilot testing smart locker systems. Thus, the workshop will focus on this topic: the potential and opportunities of micro-consolidation centres, and the role of smart lockers in efficient and sustainable logistics.
The NOVELOG Mechelen Workshop is organised back-to-back with the NOVELOG Case Studies Workshop (11 October, 14:00-17:00) and the workshop #EURegionsWeek 2017 - Regions & cities as agents of change for sustainable UFT (11 October, 11:15-13:00).
Selected cities & regions and stakeholders can benefit from a specific budget dedicated for covering their travel & accommodation costs, but resources are limited!
If you want to apply for the coverage of your T&A expenses, please write to Giacomo Lozzi (glozzi [at] polisnetwork [dot] eu).
