Getafe is a large city in the south of the capital of Spain, where last mile logistics is carried out by motorised vehicles. Exceptionally, only one of the large logistics operators, SEUR, uses a cargo bike for deliveries.

Getafe plans the creation of a 125 Hectare Low Emission Zone that will define a legal framework favouring last mile delivery and zero emission logistics.

In addition, the creation of a pedestrian priority zone and restricted traffic in the city centre is underway through the installation of bollards that will physically prevent general access for 4-wheeled vehicles and restrict the hours of goods delivery.

Recently, a local cooperative (Bike Xpress) has been created with the aim of servicing last mile logistics. In addition, Getafe is currently developing a low emission zone by installing a network of axles to delimit the pedestrian priority area facilitating bicycle delivery. The participation of the main logistics companies in the city and the involvement of GISA (Getafe Local Development Agency) to serve as a link between the City Council and Getafe’s business community will make it possible to implement the objectives and goals of the DECARBOMILE project.
