 The Emilia Romagna Region (RER) has been involved in the city logistics field since 2002, both through EU INTERREG projects and dedicated regional policies. In particular, the region initiated an ongoing debate and developed models on city logistics within the EU CITY PORTS and MEROPE projects, and introduced a regional law financing city logistics interventions which involved all the main regional cities. As SUGAR Lead Partner, RER will share its experience in terms of city logistics methodologies, studies, tools and practices (regulation, technologies, models) within SUGAR. The problem sharing approach of RER in city logistics, developed both at the EU and regional level, will be a valuable input to the project.
RER will strictly cooperate with the Institute for Transport and Logistics which
is the SUGAR EU technical coordinator

 Transport for London (TfL) has regional responsibility for transport investments in the movement of people and goods across London. It funds over 40 freight posts across several organisations. Over the last three years, TfL’s Freight Unit developed the London Freight Plan and its key project, the Freight Operator Recognition Scheme, which was launched in 2008. Key activities of TfL in relation to freight include: develop a detailed understanding of urban freight and its regulatory framework, industry standards for legal compliance and uptake of best practices, clean, quiet and efficient technologies, collaborative partnerships, benefits/incentives schemes including training programmes, and links to procurement and land-use planning.

 The City of Paris has put in place a new freight programme (with an impact on regulation, delivery bays and a master plan) and has also initiated and supported demonstration actions and experiments. Main activities in relation to freight include: locating logistical facilities inside Paris, using clean delivery vehicles (electric, gas vehicles and other clean technologies), and developing new logistical services based on rail and waterways. |

 Barcelona is recognised as a European leader city for a number of
logistics innovations including multi-use lanes (developed within the MIRACLES project) and quiet night-time deliveries (MIRACLES and SILENCE
projects). It was one of the 3 trial sites of the FIDEUS project, where
a new low-emissions truck was tested in day and night scenarios. It was
also the first Spanish city to trail a microplataform with electric
vans and bicycles used to realise ‘last-mile deliveries’. Its parking
management strategy, granted with the 2006 OSMOSE award for innovative
Demand Management strategy, has contributed to improve indicators for
traffic circulation and illegal parking by goods vehicles.
