As a major emission contributor with significant growth potential, the light goods vehicles (vans) play an important part in achieving net-zero. In 2020 the UK government committed to phasing out sales of new internal combustion engine (ICE) vans by 2030, but the impact of the policy and how far are we to decarbonize the entire van fleet by 2050 is...
Vehicle emission remote sensing devices have been widely used for monitoring and assessing the real-world emission performance of vehicles. They are also well-suited to identify candidate high emitting vehicles as remote sensing surveys measure the on-road, real-driving emissions (RDE) of a high proportion of the operational vehicle fleet passing t...
Refrigerated vans used for home deliveries are attracting attention as online grocery shopping in the UK is expanding rapidly and contributes to the increasing greenhouse gas (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions. These vans are typically 3.5-tonne gross weight vehicles equipped with temperature-controlled units called Transport Refrigeration U...

We are specifically looking at the urban freight sector, where numerous app-based services have emerged in recent years. The paper specifically looks at ‘instant deliveries,’ i.e. services...
Cities and metropolitan areas serve a wide variety of functions. Those cities which have a port function may be subject to significant increases in traffic flows. Thus in recent years port activities have at times been viewed as a problem by those responsible for traffic planning in the city with which the port is connected. This paper considers th...
Although online purchases still make up only a small share of individuals' purchases, they increasingly represent an alternative to in-store purchases. This alternative seems even more valuable in sparsely populated areas with poorer access to shops. Online purchases may smooth out spatial constraints on access to tangible goods. The efficiency hyp...
Electric light commercial vehicles (LCVs) represent a new market with high potential sales in the European countries, due to the new restrictions for old diesel vehicles in European cities, e.g. Paris and London. Nevertheless the uptake of electric vans is still limited and only few logistics chains are renovating their diesel fleets with electric...
Over the last few years, obligations to reduce carbon dioxide emissions have led European States to propose ambitious targets concerning electrifying car fleets. In France for instance, electric vehicles are required to cover a quarter of all new car purchases in big companies and public administrations. In these organizations, departments that are...
At the next Conference on Climate Change to be held in France in December 2015, several countries will try to reach a global agreement on how to limit to 2°C increase in temperature of the World. Transports, representing in France, at national level, 27% of greenhouse gases emissions and 17% of the energy consumption (ADEME, 2012)
This paper analyzes schemes for delivering food to urban food outlets, i.e. corporate retail chains, independent retailers and the hotel, restaurants and catering (Ho.Re.Ca.) sector. We present a case study of Parma, Italy, where traffic regulations, delivery services and an urban distribution center have been implemented in order to improve effici...
The interim report for Corri-Door project (Task 4.1) looks into the current sales and market trends for electric vehicles worldwide, as well as in several European countries, and brings out a set of factors that are likely to influence the French market for PEVs in the short term (2020).
We identify three main factors as key drivers of the uptake...

In Europe, shopping habits have changed fast during the last decade and a high percentage of consumers now shop online. E-commerce for physical goods generates a significant demand for dedicated delivery services, and results in increasingly difficult last mile logistics. In particular home delivery services, which are usually the preferred option...
Supplying urban areas gives rise to a series of logistical problems and requires measures to limit the undesirable effects related to goods’ transport. Food products are concerned by these questions. These products may be part of international supply chains or of short supply chains operating within limited geographical frameworks and with few or n...
In cities and metropolitan areas, last mile deliveries are a key factor contributing to local economic vitality, urban life quality and attractiveness of urban communities. However, the freight transport sector is responsible for negative impacts, mainly with regards to congestion, CO2 emissions and air and noise pollution. In order to improve effi...
In France, e-commerce has experienced steady growth over the past decade. A striking aspect is that it is now widespread among different segments of the population, including suburban and rural households. This growth has generated significant demand for dedicated delivery services to end consumers. Pickup points (PP) represent a fast-growing alter...
