Low-emission zones and other measures to lessen freight’s impacts
The main concerns with freight delivery are noise and pollution. Low-emission zones can be an effective “stick” to discourage the use of high-polluting diesel trucks in densely populated areas. Together with other measures, environmental zones can help reduce the nuisance associated with urban logistics. This session seeks to address the following questions:
- What are some challenges and solutions for gaining the acceptance of logistics companies for freight-vehicle restrictions in low-emission zones?;
- What recommendations can be made for winning the support of affected businesses?; and
- What are some key success factors in implementing measures to regulate freight traffic?
