Nantes represents in DECARBOMILE the Western European context, with its 318.808 inhabitants. Currently, the local regulation supports the green last mile logistics through an environmental bonus for clean vehicles in the city centre. The city has identified urban logistics as an important stake: in 2018, NANTES created a call for tenders named “FLUX” and selected 17 projects on urban logistics, these projects have started in 2019.
Beyond this call for tenders to raise local initiatives, NANTES is equipping itself with a Logistic Pact called “Pact for sustainable and resilient urban logistics” that would be available by 2022. NANTES was also one of the three living labs of the MySmartLife project, as HAM. The ambitions of Nantes regarding urban logistic policy by 2026 are to rationalise and optimise the logistics chain in the metropolis (massification and mutualisation of flows, strategic networking of urban logistics areas), to encourage the energy transition of logistics stakeholders, to integrate logistics activities into the urban fabric, to promote satisfactory working conditions and environment and to raise consumer awareness of the environmental and social impacts of logistics: promote consumer actors.
Use case(s) description
Cycle-logistics is already well established within the Nantes Living Lab, where Les Triporteurs Français play a pioneering and central role in its development. As a key partner in the project consortium, they contribute to two of the three use cases being developed in the city, which aim to improve and scale up existing cycle-based delivery operations. In collaboration with the City of Nantes and other local stakeholders, they are supporting the expansion of decarbonised last-mile delivery solutions across the territory
Use case(s) Infographics
Use Case 1 – Digital Tools for Cycle Logistics - A first use case focuses on the digital tools developed within the project to support cycle logistics operations. The Triporteurs cargo bikes are equipped with sensors collecting data on delivery rounds, battery status, speed, and other parameters. These data serve as inputs for route optimisation, helping operators design more efficient rounds. The tracking devices will also be tested by another cycle logistics company, Tout en Vélo.
