Stakeholders’ goals

CITIES / SOCIETY• To shape a SUSTAINABLE city

LOGISTICS COMPANIES• Manage the supply chain in the most effective and efficient way

6

Stakeholders’ actionsCITIES / SOCIETY• Low emission zones• Zero emission zones • Electrical vehicles• Cycling logistics• Restrictive regulations (enabling the above)

LOGISTICS COMPANIES• Respond by investing in rolling stock (EUR5, EUR6, Electrical, Size…)• Innovation:

• Planning• Local DC’s

Today’s realitiesE-commerce:• European GDP 2013: € 16,4 Trn• E-GDP 2013: 2,2% - 2016: double – 2020: triple (www.ecommerce-europe.eu)

(3,7 Bln parcels sent)

Omni-Channel:• 2013: 36% in-store purchases influenced by digital devices• 2014: estimated at 50% (www.ecommerce-europe.eu)

Free delivery• Marketing tool for various websites; Benelux: Zalando

Vehicles:• Trend towards smaller (but more) vehicles:

Integrators, city delivery companies, …

8

Today’s realitiesAlternative direct delivery:• New services through crowd logistics

Returns:• E-commerce: anywhere from 1% (electronics) up to 50% (fashion) (VIL, 2015)

Congestion & pollution:• Growing urbanization: 2010: 72%

2020: 80% (European Environment Agency – EU)

• Congestion: as GDP goes up, MPH go down (INRIX National Scorecard)

Restrictive measures:• Traffic restrictions in Dutch cities costs transport companies 30 KK €

(Local) (TLN, Netherlands)

9

The correct answers ?• Today: actions dealing with impact on society (Cities),focussing on enabling

ecological alternatives (regulations, restricted areas, emission zones, …) andits related impact (material investment)

• Example (lean and green project):• 20% CO² reduction = less polution ?

• If mileage grows less than 25 %• If 100% CO² ?

• Less polution = less problems ?• Congestion ?

• Smaller transport modi ?• What is market volume ? Tons/deliveries ?

• CONSIDER THE CORRECT VARIABLES

Logistics Innovation• COLLABORATION LOCAL DISTRIBUTION CENTRE + CYCLING

COURRIERS & LOGISTICS

• INNOVATIVE SHOPPING CONCEPTS

• LOGISTIC DISCONNECTION POINTS

• WHAT ARE THE CORRECT PARAMETERS VARIABLES ?

• PUBLIC AUTHORITIES NEED TO UNDERSTAND LOGISTICS

• COLLABORATION (REGIONAL, NATIONAL, EU PROJECTS)

• FOCUSED & CONSULTED CHANGE OF HOW CITIES• ARE ORGANIZED• ARE REGULATED

• LSP’S NEED TO UNDERSTAND PUBLIC GOVERNANCE

• WILL DRIVE SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS INNOVATION…
