SULPITER \u2013 “Sustainable Urban Logistics PlannIng To Enhance Regional
\nfreight transport”
\nProject duration: 36 months (01 June 2016 \u2013 31 May 2019)\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Project summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

SULPiTER focuses on improving capacities for mobility planning in functional urban areas to lower CO2 emissions.
\nTransport 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.
\nIn fact 82% of Europeans will live in cities by 2050, thus increasing the complexity of urban contexts and the
\nsignificance 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
\nSULPiTER 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.
\nSULPiTER will thus contrubute to achieving\u00a0 the EC\u00a2s ambitious goal of CO2-free city logistics by 2030.
