The Green Mile
The UK's Department for Transport has opened a consultation on the opportunities available to deliver goods more sustainably and make the last mile greener.
In a statement issued yesterday (30 July), the DfT said that it was calling for evidence to explore how clean vehicles such as electrically powered e-vans, micro vehicles and e-cargo bikes can "provide better service to customers for cargo in comparison to light commercial vehicles".
The DfT would like to hear evidence of how innovative logistics solutions such as cargo consolidation centres, shared hubs and micro-depots could help to alleviate the pressures on urban last mile deliveries.
Importantly, the DfT is inviting suggestions on how the delivery industry could be incentivised to take up clean, last-mile delivery options - and it also wants to have a better understanding of the perceived barriers to switching over to a sustainable delivery model.
In his foreword to the discussion document, the Transport Minister Jesse Norman said: "We want the UK to explore all modes of e-cargo and emerging transport technologies for last mile deliveries, so we can help create beautiful, liveable, green and connected towns and cities. The results of this Call for Evidence will in turn form part of the Government’s Future of Mobility Grand Challenge."
The last mile delivery consultation closes on 20 September.

ReplyDeleteMaybe using electrical vehicles is the answer to deliver goods more sustainably and make the last mile greener. While here I'm polluting the environment with a gas powered 2012 Subaru Exiga. I wish I could make my car more sustainable.
