SULPiTER

Project objective: reducing the carbon-footprint and improving the efficiency & competitiveness of freight transport in functional urban areas in Central Europe.

SULPiTER

SULPITER – “Sustainable Urban Logistics PlannIng To Enhance Regional
freight transport”
Project duration: 36 months (01 June 2016 – 31 May 2019)  

Project summary:

SULPiTER focuses on improving capacities for mobility planning in functional urban areas to lower CO2 emissions.
Transport is the second largest energy-using sector, with a 32% share of final energy consumption (source CE Thematic Study). According to OECD 20% of energy consumption is attributable to freight transport.
In fact 82% of Europeans will live in cities by 2050, thus increasing the complexity of urban contexts and the
significance of urban freight transport. Urban freight issues thus need to be tackled in the perspective of Functional Urban Areas (FUAs), taking into consideration the functional transport & economic relations between inner urban centres and the surrounding urban territories
SULPiTER has a mission to support policy makers in improving their understanding of FUAs freight phenomena in an energy and environmental perspective, enhancing their capacity in urban freight mobility planning in order to develop & adopt Sustainable Urban Logistics Plans – SULPs.
SULPiTER will thus contrubute to achieving  the EC¢s ambitious goal of CO2-free city logistics by 2030.
