Smarter Greener Logistics Is Underway

CRP were delighted to celebrate the achievements of our Clean Air Logistics for London (CALL) programme at Somerset House at the end of June. The event provided an opportunity to reflect on the range of innovative projects that have been delivered in collaboration with our project partners. We would like to thank all those who attended and the event sponsors Defra, Port of London Authority  and  The Northbank BID! Please see images from the event here.

The June event also saw the launch of Smarter Greener Logistics (SGL), CRP’s new Defra-funded project led by Westminster City Council in collaboration with 26 project partners. SGL aims to minimise the impact of freight on noise, air quality, traffic and pavement space by making improvements across 15 London boroughs and four London Business Improvement Districts (BIDs).

SGL will implement a range of Logistics Elements in order to clean up London’s air, including:

1. Urban Logistics Hubs
2. Kerbside Management
3. Click and Collect/Parcel Lockers
4. Shared Electric Vehicle schemes & fleet electrification
5. Cargo Bike & Walking Freight deliveries
6. Logistics Sector Support
7. Monitoring to capture benefits
8. Project Wide Interventions
