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.
