Urban logistics is vital to keep the urban fabric running, but affects liveability while operators also have to deal with shrinking space in which they have to conduct operations. Despite this, there is primarily a lot of focus on decarbonising logistics as well as on logistics concepts to improve the …

Euro-Mit Staal B.V. (EMS) stelt dat door het huidige proces van het bedrijf er te veel fouten worden gemaakt in de levering van de rollen staal aan de klanten. De impact is volgens het bedrijf te groot op de klanten en dit wordt als onacceptabel gezien, vooral vanwege het feit dat deze foutmarge van …

Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) have been defined as modes of collective prosumership under the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II). We evaluate the benefits offered by RECs and the barriers and enablers impacting their uptake. Germany is taken as a case study for a novel multi-disciplinary assessment …

Fast charging is usually seen as a means to facilitate long distance driving for electric vehicles and roll-out therefore often happens with corridors in mind. Due to limited charging speeds, EV drivers usually tend to charge at home or work when the car is parked for a longer period to avoid unnecessarily …

Recent studies show that charging stations are operated in an inefficient way. Due to the fact that electric vehicle (EV) drivers charge while they park, they tend to keep the charging station occupied while not charging. This prevents others from having access. This study is the first to investigate …

In April 2016 ECLF undertook a survey of existing cycle logistics operators. The Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) assisted by analyzing the response (nearly 90 companies). This report summarizes the results and provides a view of the current status of CycleLogistics across Europe. Projectleader: …

Many cities in Europe have ambitious goals when it comes to making their public transport buses emission free. This article outlines the reasoning behind the choices made in the city of Amsterdam with regards to charging infrastructure for electric buses. Emphasising the importance of operational demands, …

Since the European Union wants to reduce the oil dependence of the transportation system, the uptake of alternative vehicle technologies are stimulated in the member states. In the Netherlands, stimulation is already largely implemented in the form of a comprehensive charging infrastructure. This infrastructure …
