Urban Logistics in the City of Tomorrow In densely populated areas, urban logistics fulfils supply and disposal needs not only

for households, but also for commercial and production facilities.

Inner-city delivery traffic faces increasing pressure to adapt. Major driving forces for

change include the push to reduce emissions and improve traffic safety, as well as

usage conflicts, a scarcity of space, a shortage of drivers and the need to integrate

with urban planning. Due to continuing urbanization and changed consumer behavior,

delivery traffic is steadily increasing. The reasons for this include strong growth in

online retail, increasing quality demands on the part of consumers and the advance of

digitization in all areas of life.

Urban logistics encompasses a variety of concepts and activities that serve to organi-

ze and optimize commercial transport within cities, with a focus on transport, supply

and disposal. The concepts developed aim to increase efficiency and environmental

sustainability on the so-called “last mile.”

The use of alternative drive systems plays a significant role in this. The aim of urban

logistics concepts is to relieve the burden on city infrastructures while also achieving

higher levels of performance and profitability.

Successfully Completed Projects by LNC This brochure is designed to provide an overview of the diversity of our projects

across the field of urban logistics.

We work with a wide range of clients and funding bodies, across varying areas of

scope, on projects small and large, but everything we do shares one goal in common:

to shape the urban logistics of the future!

The ChallengeThe cooperative use of public space for

sustainable inner-city logistics is an

equally pressing issue for communities

within urban aggregations and for CEP

providers (courier, express and parcel

services) that deliver goods to custo-

mers over the “last mile.”

But how well do cargo bikes perform in

last-mile transport in inner cities?

Can different service providers share the

use of a micro-depot as part of a unified

system?

The ResultWith the KoMoDo project, Germany’s five

largest parcel services shared the use

of an inner-city transshipment point for

the first time, with micro-hubs located

in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. All of the CEP

service companies participated with

their own cargo bikes.

Personalized containers served as mic-

ro-hubs, which were used as reloading

points for the delivery of shipments over

the last few kilometers.

Cooperative Use of Micro-Depots — KoMoDo

ClientThe KoMoDo project was supported by the National Climate Initiative of the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).

#cargo bikes #inner-city deliveries #kclimate-neutral last mile

#aopen-user micro-depot #CEP service providers #limited logistics spaces

Over a 10-month trial period, 160,000

parcels were delivered within the

defined 3-km-radius area around the

micro-hub. The cargo bikes covered a

combined distance of approximately

38,000 km, thus saving around 28,000

km conventional vehicle kilometers. This

corresponds to a CO2 reduction of about

11 tons.

The response to the cargo bikes in road

traffic was very positive among local

residents and other affected parties.

Awareness and recognition of the cargo

bikes was also very high.

Innovative City Logistics — Urban Quarter 4.0

The ChallengeIn addition to increasing service expec-

tations, the growth in volume and the ef-

fects this has on traffic present a major

challenge to urban goods transport.

What would a future-ready, city-com-

patible and highly sustainable logistics

solution for spatially limited urban

districts look like?

What kind of adaptable system will

ensure the reliable supply and disposal

of goods, while saving resources and re-

ducing the burden on the environment?

The ResultFor the “Stadtquartier 4.0” (Urban

Quarter 4.0) project, a sustainable and

integrated logistics system was develo-

ped for an inner-city neighborhood. It fo-

cuses on alternative, sustainable means

of transport such as the cargo bike and

picking points such as the BentoBox, an

open-user transfer and handling system.

The BentoBox is used by various CEP

service providers as a freely accessible

delivery point, as temporary storage and

by local residents as a sharing station.

In addition, delivery within the quarter

is further improved by a loading zone

management system.

The pilot project focuses on the Holz-

markt area of Berlin’s Friedrichshain-

Kreuzberg district.

To measure the success of the project,

the needs of residents and local produc-

tion companies as well as quantitative

surveys and interviews with relevant

stakeholders will all be taken into

account.

New Edition of an Integrated Commercial Transport Concept for Berlin (IWVK)

The ChallengeBerlin, the largest metropolis in

Germany, is changing and growing at a

rapid speed.

The Integrated Commercial Transport

Concept (IWVK) is an essential compo-

nent of the city’s Urban Development

Plan for Mobility and Transport.

For the sake of short- and medium-term

planning, the measures and approaches

decided upon in the 2005 IWVK version

were due to be revised. The updated

version would identify new approaches

for the efficient and city-friendly

handling of commercial traffic in Berlin.

What measures should be promoted

and implemented to ensure the modern,

efficient and city-friendly supply and

disposal of goods and commodities as

well as passenger traffic in Berlin?

Which new perspectives must be consi-

dered? How can a dialog process be put

in place and consolidated that takes all

relevant stakeholders into account?

The ResultLNC LogisticNetwork Consultants GmbH

oversaw the development of the new

IWVK edition, managing the entire

process from conception to completion.

This included the organization of a

kick-off event as well as a variety of

meetings with experts, ten workshops

and a central closing event.

Core tasks included facilitating the

participation of important stakeholders

within the complex sphere of commer-

cial transport; developing the concepts

for work sessions, handling debriefings

and securing the outcomes of these

discussions; and supporting the client in

the area of public relations.

Urban Midi-Hubs — MiHu (Austria)

The Challenge When creating transshipment points

within urban aggregations, CEP service

providers (courier, express and parcel)

face two significant challenges: an in-

creasing scarcity of space and

stricter environmental regulations,

which require city logistics to be as

CO2-free as possible.

One promising solution is so-called

midi-hubs, cooperatively used inner-city

distribution centers with the capacity to

supply entire districts with goods.

As a transshipment point, midi-hubs

offer the potential for emissions-free

delivery over the last mile, using cargo

bikes, for example.

But what are the criteria for an ideal

location? Which processes need to be

synchronized and optimized between

independent service providers for

shared use to be a success?

The Result The MiHu project is focused on site

selection and partnership analysis for

cooperatively used, medium-sized,

inner-city cargo centers.

It uses a mathematical, hierarchical

model to analyze the processes of these

midi-hubs, taking into account the

requirements and general conditions of

the participating companies.

Based on this data, a model is developed

for selecting the location of midi-hubs

with a collective target system, which

considers economic, ecological and

social goals of different stakeholders.

This model is being tested in a case

study in Vienna.

Innovation Workshops in Logistics for the Region of Hannover

The ChallengeThe region of Hannover wanted to initi-

ate a forum for the discussion of ideas,

innovative solutions and new business

models for future-oriented, inner-city

commercial transport.

Which approaches would be most suita-

ble for the Hannover region in terms of

working methods and feasibility?

Can structured dialogues with key stake-

holders provide impetus for new political

fields of action and enable creative

flagship projects?

The ResultLNC LogisticNetwork Consultants GmbH

worked with the client to develop a

series of six workshops on different

areas of interest. Each thematic focus

received two workshop sessions for

analysis of the context and problem

areas and to define potential solutions

and ideas for projects.

The workshop participants came from

the private and public sectors, bringing

experiences that were incorporated into

the exchange as testimonials.

The practical findings were measured

against ongoing projects in the region

and beyond, such as the ongoing USEfUL

research project of the city of Hannover

or the 2030 innovation program of the

Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital

Infrastructure.

The ChallengeToday’s cities and urban areas face

diverse challenges when it comes to

creating concepts for sustainable inner-

city logistics. Urban logistics are caught

between the needs and interests of

logistics service providers, industry and

commerce, public authorities, consu-

mers and residents.

Business interests must be taken into

account along with perspectives on

traffic safety, environmental protection,

regional planning and legal conditions.

What are the criteria for a future-ready,

city-friendly and sustainable logistics

system for the city of Bern?

What planning perspectives and areas

of action arise from these criteria for

the city administration and all those

involved?

The ResultThe project partners developed a three-

part concept for the future of urban

logistics in Bern. Based on scholarly

research into successful model experi-

ments and pilot projects in comparable

European urban structures, best-prac-

tice examples were presented to the

stakeholder groups.

Over the course of three workshops,

promising approaches in the areas of

vehicle fleets, traffic management and

traffic infrastructure were discussed

and evaluated.

The results were incorporated into a

logistics concept for the city of Bern with

concrete recommendations for action

and perspectives for implementation.

An Intelligent City Logistics Concept for Bielefeld’s City Center

The Challenge It is crucial for municipalities to ensure

the functionality of commercial traffic

while also shaping it in a city-com-

patible, environmentally friendly and

future-oriented way. The same applies

to Bielefeld, where increasing traffic

volumes, with changing requirements as

a result, have led to new challenges for

the configuration of logistics functions in

this regional center.

What are the criteria for an intelligent,

future-proof city logistics concept, and

how can these be determined for a city

like Bielefeld? Which new forms of

delivery transport should be considered

and implemented?

The Result The project “Building blocks for an intel-

ligent city logistics concept for

Bielefeld’s city center” focused on

approaches to designing “last-mile”

transport to optimize traffic flow and

reduce emissions.

In multi-stage work packages, the pro-

ject partners analyzed actual and

forecast data for commercial traffic in

the region, developed a requirements

profile for a distribution center (urban

hub) and deduced possibilities for re-

duction through the use of alternative

delivery vehicles.

As an example, a central area of

Bielefeld’s former container terminal

was studied as a possible depot

location.

An important aspect for the consor-

tium was the transparent involvement

of representatives from all affected

stakeholder groups as well as the open

discussion of research results and

good-practice examples. The goal was

a sustainable concept aligned with

Bielefeld’s particular needs and condi-

tions, enabling new developments to

be designed in a city-compatible and

targeted manner.

The ChallengeIn order to draw up a “Green City” master

plan, the city of Osnabrück needed

foundational work and sound data that

would help them develop an innovative

urban logistics concept.

How can an optimal supply and disposal

system be developed for the city?

Which efficient transport and logistics

measures should be incorporated into

the city’s economic transport concept

in the short, medium and long term in

order to sustainably reduce air pollution

levels?

The ResultSince there are no standard solutions

in this area, a customized solution was

developed for Osnabrück that takes into

account the requirements of different

players. The result was a concrete action

concept that serves as a roadmap for the

development of the city’s master plan.

LNC LogisticNetwork Consultants GmbH

analyzed the current situation of

commercial traffic in Osnabrück.

To do so, data relevant to commercial

and logistics traffic were gathered and

evaluated and interviews were conduc-

ted with transport service providers and

partners from the retail sector.

An open workshop was held in which

strategic approaches for sustainable,

efficient commercial transport in the

city were discussed and assessed with

stakeholders.

Finally, an optimal action plan for city

logistics in Osnabrück was developed

and visualized, taking into account

best-practice examples.

Green City Plan HildesheimCreation of a logistics concept for the city center of Hildesheim

The ChallengeThe city of Hildesheim set itself the

goal of organizing its urban logistics in

a more resource-conscious, low-emis-

sions way. To help them achieve this,

a “Green City” concept and an urban

master plan were needed.

What role can electric cargo bikes and

central logistics hubs for last-mile

deliveries play in future delivery con-

cepts? What actions could help to

reduce nitric oxide pollution in cities?

The ResultThe Green City Plan for Hildesheim is a

comprehensive examination of rele-

vant factors and design possibilities for

making sustainable mobility a reality in

the city.

In particular, the plan includes funda-

mental preparations, based on broad

data surveys, for the development of

service provider-independent logistics

hubs and their integration into the

structures of the city.

Defined location criteria were used to

help identify suitable hub sites.

A concrete logistics concept was also

developed for the city center on the

basis of the city’s Integrated Urban

Development Concept (ISEK) 2020 and

the climate protection program of the

district of Hildesheim.

One key outcome was the conceptuali-

zation of an inner-city, service provider-

independent logistics hub, which uses

cargo bikes for the onward transporta-

tion of goods.

The Challenge Inner-city goods transport faces multip-

le challenges. For starters, increasingly

smaller shipments must be delivered

faster and on time. Secondly, traffic jams

due to increasing traffic volume and a

lack of parking spaces impede on-time

deliveries to customers.

Growing environmental awareness

among suppliers, customers and local

authorities, the introduction of environ-

mental regulations and rising energy

prices are also shaping the conditions

for urban distribution.

Do newly designed, electrically powered

vehicles offer a potential solution?

What specifications must such vehicles

meet?

Could these vehicles form the basis of a

traffic-efficient collection and

distribution system?

The ResultThe DisLog project is concerned with

the use of electric vehicles for smooth,

economically efficient and ecological

inner-city supply processes.

In order to define what the ideal city

delivery vehicle is, project partners tried

out concept vehicles in the field.

In this way, innovative vehicle properties

such as structure, lightweight construc-

tion and drive system could be tested, as

well as halving the hold time by

containerization of sub-processes.

In this way, the foundations were

created for a new logistics concept for

efficient, resource-saving e-vehicle

deployment.

The ChallengeDelivery traffic creates emissions such

as CO2 and noise. The efficient supply of

urban areas within limited time frames

is one of the logistical challenges of

our time.

How can traffic be shifted into nighttime

hours, enabling delivery rounds to be

carried out more effectively and relie-

ving the burden on roads during the day?

Could incentives be created for the use

of electric vehicles, which have a limited

load capacity and whose purchase

requires a greater financial investment?

The ResultWith the NaNu project, multi-shift

operations enabled low-traffic nighttime

periods to be used for deliveries, while

the economic viability of quiet e-vehicles

was improved.

This was made possible by a battery re-

placement system that increased vehicle

availability to 24 hours, thereby doubling

usage capacity.

This was combined with an improved

usage of road infrastructure in order to

deliver throughout the city center while

complying with nighttime noise

regulations.

In field tests, the haulage company

Meyer & Meyer used an e-vehicle of

eleven tons GVWR for textile logistics

in the greater Berlin area. The extended

use of the vehicle will reduce the

amortization period.

Furthermore, the project’s partners

worked to develop a concept for

disposition-controlled loading.

Urban logistics is a public-interest topic

that has been receiving increasing

attention from politicians, local citizens

and the media alike.

Various forms of road usage, from

so-called stationary traffic (i.e. parked

vehicles), shopping traffic as well as

delivery and disposal traffic, all lead to

usage conflicts in our cities.

Crowded streets, double-parked vehic-

les, lengthy delivery routes, and obst-

ructions for pedestrians, cyclists and

individual drivers are often the result.

Not only does urban logistics address

these challenges, it must also find a

way to reduce air pollution and noise

emissions, ensuring an improved quality

of life in cities.

The Outlook for Urban Logistics

For where would the city be without

logistics? It plays an essential role in the

functioning of every city, from provi-

ding supplies and disposing of waste

for households to sustaining trade and

manufacturing.

Delivery traffic is continually increasing,

due to strong growth in online retail,

rising quality demands on the part of

customers and the advancement of

digitization.

Since 2009, online sales have increa-

sed more than fivefold. As a result, the

pressure on the limited space available

in urban areas and on the stakeholders

in this sector has also increased.

To safeguard the survival of logistics

service providers, to reduce environ-

mental pollution, to enable the harmoni-

ous coexistence of the various usage

demands on logistics infrastructures

and to ensure that cities remain good

places to live, what is needed are

resilient, future-oriented, innovative

and cooperative approaches. The time

to design them and put them to the test

is today.

These solutions could include, for

example, the implementation of jointly

operated micro-, midi- or city-hubs, the

use of delivery vehicles with alternative

drive systems or the conversion of real

estate and locations in city centers.

The options are numerous as well as

diverse, but each solution must be tailo-

red precisely to local conditions, ship-

ment volumes and the players involved.

Whatever the location and whatever the

challenge, LNC LogisticNetwork

Consultants GmbH supports public and

private players in the initiation, concepti-

on, testing, evaluation and advancement

of urban logistics solutions.

In every context, the balancing of inter-

ests between all the stakeholders is of

central importance.

LNC facilitates the development of

broad, diverse networks of partners

across the field of urban logistics.
