Cyclelogistics - Shifting Urban Freight for more livable cities

Background Facts & Figures

Conundrum

People want liveable cities but still require products & services!

Background Facts & Figures

Cyclelogistics Is Nothing New!

Project Summary – Cyclelogistics Ahead

• “Cyclelogistics – moving Europe forward” 2011 – 2014 focus on logistics

operators, municipalities and private logistics

• Cyclelogistics Ahead supports the aim of near zero emission urban logistics by

2030 as part of the Energy programme of the European Commission

• Cyclelogistics Ahead addresses the three affected target groups: 1. Transport

Sector, 2. Municipalities and 3. Private and commercial end users

New developments induce changes

People awareness of environmental issues and positive image of

cycling

Rising cycling culture

New developments induce changes

E-commerce and retail evolution

The Rebirth of Cyclelogistics

“Instead of

completely

replacing

older retail

logistics

schemes,

most recent

ones have

added to

them”

4. E-commerce and retail evolution


3. Giving back public space to people


5. Developments in cycle design & technology


6. Direct investments from global players

Question

• How many of the trips that have to do with a transport of

goods in a city can be shifted from car to bike?

Big Potential

In European cities, 51% of all motorised trip, associated with the transport of goods, could be shifted from cars or vans to

bicycles, cargo bikes or cargo trikes

In an average European cityof 240.000 inhabitants there are

about 1 Mio. trips a day

Every second motorized trip related togoods transport in cities could be shifted

Cyclelogistics Scope

Delivery

Services – municipality and

companies

Private Logistics

Shop by bike ……

Cyclelogistics Scope – Private Logistics

Car only necessary in 1 our of 10 cases

Business services,

vendors,

municipal

services……

Potential for the area of small businesses and services

5 of 10 small businesses and services could

use cargo bikes instead of cars

Emission-free Pizza Delivery

Delivery ……

Potential for the area of deliveries

In the area of delivery, every forth trip

associated with the transport of goods could

be shifted from motorised vehicles to cargo

bikes

Trends & Innovations

Electric assist trailers

5-wheel cargo bike motor in

each wheel

4-wheel quad pulling trailer

Refrigerated Boxes Containerisation

Containerisation

New Trends

• Reliant on customers contacting you

• Fast delivery

• Cargo size dictates capacity

• Optimising efficient use of available

capacity and riders

• Regular income

• Allows loads to be consolidated

• Efficient use of cargo bike space

and rider

• Can service ad-hoc point to point

job

What Municipalities Can Do To Encourage CycleLogistics


1. Compared to passenger transport, urban freight logistics has to a

large extent been neglected by urban transport policy making

2. Public sector more focussed on public transport systems and

passenger transport

3. City logistics is not properly integrated into transport planning and

local economic development strategies

4. In most cities there is a lack of information and proper

understanding of freight flows and dynamics of deliveries

5. Urban freight transport demand and supply mostly determined by

private sector organisations

Context

Question

• What measures can you think of?


1. The Stick

2. The Carrot

- Regulatory measures (access restrictions, time

windows, etc)

- Market based measures (congestion charging, etc)

- Planning measures (zoning)

- Working with and supporting main stakeholders

- Infrastructure (micro consolidation centres, cycle

parking, etc)

- Technology (green vehicles, open data, etc)

- Governance and coordination (Urban Freight

Cooperation platforms, awareness raising)

Two Options:


1. Investment in Cycling Infrastructure

Normalise cycling and services will follow!

2. Use of cargo bike by municipalities –

leading by example:



3. Testing of regulatory measures favouring cyclelogistics

What can the city do?

Public space dedicated to stationary traffíc

Graz

Today (2016) 92% 3% 3% 2%

with 5000 additional Cargo bikes

90% 3% 3% 4%


5. Securing and providing space for micro

consolidation centres:

a. Securing space for micro-hubs in policy

planning and zoning strategies

b. Identifying and adapting key public space

for micro-consolidation purposes linked to

cycle-based last-mile services

c. Testing low cost mobile micro-hubs in

cooperation with cyclelogistics companies

d. Promoting strategies or incentives for

shared micro-hubs


5. Securing and providing space for micro

consolidation centres (examples):

Mobile depot, one operator Fixed depot, shared solution Mobile depot, shared solution

5. Securing and providing space for parcel stations:

Direct to customer Transhipment


6. Full or part funding cyclelogistics initiatives (1)

Graz: 50% or max. €1000

Lustenau: €400 or €600 (e-cargo)

Salzburg: €240

National: €400 or €500 (e-cargo)

Vienna: in preperation


6. Full or part funding cyclelogistics initiatives (2)

Cargo bike hire schemesCargo bike try-out

Public Cargo Bikes ……to use free of charge

Support of public cargo bikes… dein-lastenrad.de


7. Promotion of cyclelogistics intermodal solutions


8. Cyclelogistics friendly tenders

• Many tenders written assuming solution is

van based

• May be necessary to run a pilot to prove

cyclelogistics solution

• Be willing to split tenders into smaller area

(eg. cyclelogistics routes, motorised vehicle

routes)

• Actively encourage joint supplier solutions

• Don’t be constrained by conventional

thinking!

Question

What Can YOU Do To Encourage CycleLogistics?

What Can YOU Do To Encourage CycleLogistics?

• Talk to student union to get a free community cargo bike

that can be used by students

• Apply at university management to have

procurement/tenders changed

• Suggest to management to purchase cargo bike for

internal transport trips between university locations

• Found your own cargo-bike-based start-up company
