Overview
Background & policy context:
C-LIEGE helped show good practices and contributes with a helpful hand for all European cities striving for cleaner and sustainable urban transportation. On the basis of good practices the project defined an integrated framework for energy efficient Urban Freight Transport (UFT) management and planning. A novel set of integrated solutions and 'push-and-pull' demand-oriented measures were tested and shared in roadmaps for the implementation in European cities.
Objectives:
The C-LIEGE project worked with reaching the following four measurable specific objectives:
- Defining a shared framework for an energy-efficient urban freight transport demand management and planning strategy through a cooperative approach between public-private stakeholders.
- Contributing to the reduction of the negative energy, environmental and socio-economic impacts of freight transport in urban environments by adopting a mix of measures ('push & pull' measures), testing them in the C-LIEGE pilot sites and evaluating the impact from the energy consumption, environmental, and socio-economic perspectives.
- Effectively transfering good practices addressed to achieve a better match of supply & demand for goods transport in European urban areas, according with energy saving principles, promoting knowledge sharing of relevant lessons learned at international level.
- Providing policy recommendations to EC on Energy saving transport strategies having as an ultimate goal to support the EU Commission on the achievement of 2020 targets.
Methodology:
C-LIEGE was organised along 30 months' timescale and it is structured in nine work packages (five vertical activities and four horizontal activities) as follows:
- WP 1 - Project Management
- WP 2 - Good practices elicitation on urban freight transport initiatives and projects and State of the Art review
- WP 3 - Stakeholders involvement
- WP 4 - Toolbox for an energy-efficient urban freight transport demand management and planning
- WP 5 - Pilot experiment and roll out
- WP 6 - Monitoring and Evaluation of impacts
- WP 7 - C-LIEGE Action Plan for an energy-saving and sustainable demand management in urban freight transport sector
- WP 8 - Communication
- WP 9 - EACI Dissemination Activities
