PRESENTATION AND OBJECTIVES:

he objective of the DECARBOMILE project is to make an unprecedented leap towards sustainable urban logistics and to trigger the generalization of green last-mile logistics, building on previous local experiences. During the course of the project, work will be carried out on the definition and implementation of an urban consolidation logistics framework, including associated technological tools and methodological requirements for its implementation and monitoring, thus accelerating its adaptation and replication in Europe and beyond.
The results of the project are grouped into 7 categories:
– Methodologies for multi-sector collaboration in last mile logistics.
– Digital platform for collaborative and sustainable last mile logistics.
– ICT and IoT tools that support an efficient logistics operation.
– Zero-emission vehicles equipped for last-mile intermodal delivery.
– Recommendations on last mile logistics implementation and improvements.
– Innovative governance and business models for the consolidation of logistics centers and new delivery methods.
– 4 full potential living labs with urban consolidation centers in the following cities: Hamburg (Germany), Nantes (France), Istanbul (Turkey) and Logroño (Spain).
To achieve the results identified by the project partners, DECARBOMILE will focus all its efforts on the following 5 pillars:

• Pillar 1: Collaboration.
  Design of a collaboration methodology adapted to the field of last mile logistics and the identification and contracting of stakeholders. It will be based on an urban logistics governance model that will be co-designed through workshops and other tools included in the methodology. This framework covers the entire living lasb demonstration and its social and environmental benefits will be evaluated at the end of the project.
• Pillar 2: Business models and value-added services.
  The methodologies defined in the first phases will include the business development canvas and value-added services. They will be used as the co-creation of governance models and needs analysis with local stakeholders is carried out. Innovative use cases and value-added services will be tested during the demonstration and their economic impact will be validated, opening the door to new businesses based on them.
• Pillar 3: Urban integration and optimization of space management.
  Based on the analysis of the Living Labs participants and defined in more detail in the project, the partners will prepare the integration of urban and micro-consolidation centers (UDC) in the urban fabrics of the cities, in particular thanks to the adapted decision support system. Innovative equipment (barge, microcontainers, smart lockers) will be upgraded and made compatible with the ICT environment, before implementing UCDs. This demonstration will pave the way for expansion to TRL9.
• Pillar 4: Regulation.
  DECARBOMILE activities will be carried out in accordance with the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP) and local regulations. Partners will highlight the contribution and compliance of project features with these policy plans to support urban integration of UDCs. The demonstration will allow entering into a peer-to-peer learning process among the cities involved, paving the way for replication in satellite cities and suggesting normative evolutions to foster the development of a collaborative and sustainable urban logistics consolidation framework.
• Pillar 5: Digital infrastructure for operational collaboration.
  DECARBOMILE’s ICT expert partners will ensure (data) communication between their technologies and develop their optimization algorithms and digital twins according to the cities’ needs, prioritizing their future integration in the Living Labs. The digital platform will be developed iteratively up to the demonstration phase, will integrate optimization algorithms and will be refined during the demonstration phase. The final steps to commercialization will be determined, and the digital environment will continue to integrate new or existing features, dedicated to the local environment in which they are developed.
