Smart City Logistics towards 100% Emission Free

One way City of Amsterdam reduces the pollution in city centre is to allow no gasoline trucks in the city centre area. Freight vehicles adapts to this regulation by electrifying the freight vehicle. To take it a step further, an initiative such as Cargohopper adopt a bundling system for goods in the last mile shipments. All incoming cargos are re-bundled based on address, move through the most efficient routing and only start distributing ones the loads are full. This initiative not only support the goal of 100% free emission in the city centre but also reduces the load in the traffic and lower noise pollution, creating more liveable environment in the City of Amsterdam.
