Exploring sustainable and efficient solutions for urban road freight transport linked to construction sites
The European project SUCCESS – Sustainable Urban Consolidation CentrES for conStruction – funded by theHorizon 2020 programme and part of the CIVITAS initiative, aims to explore, find and test green and efficient solutions regarding various issues in Construction Supply Chain and material freight logistics in urban areas.
Enlargement of European cities and urban population growth in recent years require ever more appropriate constructions and infrastructure. However, initiatives to fulfil these needs could be hindered by the cost of freight transport and the numerous negative impacts of urban freight logistics. In this context, the SUCCESS project intends to analyse these problems and find solutions by exploring the impacts of Supply Chain Management and Construction Consolidation Centres (CCCs) to develop business plans focusing on the implementation of a sustainable urban supply chain.
