Anand, N.R. (author), Motloung, T. (author), Quak, H.J. (author), van Duin, Ron (author)The number of activities in city logistics is growing rapidly causing an increase in emissions, and a decline in accessibility and safety in cities. Therefore, the Dutch government has introduced GreenDeal Zero-emission city logistics. The goal of this deal is to have 30-40 of the biggest municipalities in the Netherlands have zero-emission city...conference paper 2024

Wang, S. (author), Zhu, Xiaoning (author), Shang, Pan (author), Lin, X. (author), Yang, Liya (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)The considerable increase in parcel deliveries has negatively impacted the accessibility and livability of cities. One solution strategy is to decouple short-distance from long-distance shipping so that last-mile transport can be performed with low-footprint vehicles. Such solutions are referred to in the literature as multi-echelon...journal article 2024

Tapia, Rodrigo Javier (author), Kourounioti, I. (author), Thoen, Sebastian (author), de Bok, M.A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Crowdshipping (CS) is an emerging form of freight transport that is expected to reduce the externalities of urban freight transport. The supply of CS services originates from people with an intention to travel, who can choose to engage in a parcel delivery service as incidental carrier. The popular expectation is that this consolidation of...journal article 2023

van Duin, Ron (author), Moolenburgh, Ewoud (author), van den Band, Nick (author)Due to population growth in cities the demand for the transport is rising and <br/>therefore a growth of transport movements by trucks and vans can be observed. <br/>These movements have a negative effect on air quality, liveability, noise and safety. LEFVs (Light Electric Freight Vehicles) can be a good solution for last mile deliveries. Today...journal article 2022
