Het aantal activiteiten in de stadslogistiek groeit snel, waardoor de uitstoot toeneemt en de bereikbaarheid en veiligheid in steden afnemen. Volgend op de Green Deal Zero-emissie stadslogistiek (ZES) is daarom in het Klimaatakkoord afgesproken om tot zero emissie stadslogistiek te komen. Concreet betekent dit, dat 30 tot 40 van de grootste gemeenten in Nederland in 2025 een zero emissie zone voor stadslogistiek moeten invoeren. Veel gemeenten zijn druk met de voorbereidingen van de zones, maar in de praktijk ontbreekt het hen aan de mogelijkheid om hun voortgang te kunnen zien en deze te ijken met andere gemeenten. Om hier inzicht in te verkrijgen is het stadslogistiek maturity model ontwikkeld. We hebben dit model in 2022 getest voor drie gemeenten, namelijk de gemeente Deventer, Zwolle en Nijmegen

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 logistics in 2025. The goal for 2025 is clear, but it lacks a way for municipalities to see their progress and a way to find improvements in their city logistics. This research is focused on developing a maturity model as a tool to assess the maturity level of a municipality for its performance-related city logistics process management to achieve its aim of reaching zero emissions. The
City Logistics Maturity Model for Municipality (CL3M) requires a domain-specific, multidimensional model to assess city logistics from a municipal point of view. The model includes six levels (0-5) and a PCDA cycle is embedded throughout the levels. The model is populated through three focus fields (Technical, Social and Corporate, and Policy), branching out into six areas of development: Information and communication technology, urban logistics planning, Stakeholder communication, Public-Private Partnerships, Subsidization and incentivization, and Regulations. The CL3M model was tested for three municipalities, namely, the municipality of Deventer, Zwolle, and Nijmegen. The assessment pointed out that CL3M is yet in its juvenile stage and with further development, the model can reach its full potential in usefulness, reliability, and adaptation
