Webinar: What is happening in the USA regarding urban logistics?

Urban logistics is facing significant challenges as our cities expand and sustainability demands intensify. How can digital technology contribute to creating more efficient and sustainable freight transport in the urban environment?

In this exclusive webinar, co-hosted by Drive Sweden and Future Mobility, we zoom in on key takeaways from how American cities are tackling these pressing issues. The project team presenting their findings traveled to the U.S. specifically to gather these insights, a journey funded through a Future Mobility innovation project. Now, they share how Sweden can leverage their experiences.

The team conducted an in-depth study of innovative solutions, including:

• Zero Emission Zones (ZEZs): Examining initiatives in cities like Portland, Oregon, and how these insights can be applied as Gothenburg explores the implementation of its own Environmental Zone 3 (Miljözon 3).
   
• Curb Management: A close look at cities such as Seattle, Washington, where sensors and cameras are being deployed to monitor and manage activity at the urban curb, optimizing crucial loading and unloading zones.
   
• Delivery Robot Policy: Analyzing the policy work underway in Los Angeles regarding autonomous delivery robots, noting both the differences and similarities compared to current Swedish pilot programs and regulatory frameworks.
