Abstract

Urban transport is causing urban congestion as well as emitting a high percentage of pollutants, increasing, creating unhealthy, unpleasant and unsafe situations. Sustainable city logistics is one of the most pressing current day issues and there is increasingly action taken by governments and logistic stakeholders. A lot of initiatives are seen around Dutch cities. By interviewing 5 in-practice experts with managing functions and comparing the outcomes, this paper tries to identify key considerations for effective functioning of these systems. Results show that capacity for electric charging of the vehicles is insufficient and problems are expected to worsen as further growth of SLS with logistic hub is expected. Location of the hubs is considered to be an important factor taking into account two indicators found in the literature, whereas another indicator can be added from the interview results. In addition, the results show that the hubs seem to be performing well on current accessibility with regard to loading/unloading and possible problems in spatial land use.
