The University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna known too by its acronym “BOKU” sees itself as a teaching and research institution that focuses on renewable resources that are prerequisite for human existence. The Institute for Production and Logistics (BOKU-PWL) is part of the Department of Economics and Social Sciences. In accordance with the orientation of BOKU, the institute conducts problem-oriented and application-oriented research in the fields of transport logistics, material flow design, humanitarian logistics and environmentally compatible intermodal freight transport. The interdisciplinary atmosphere at the institute, extensive knowledge in the application of formal scientific and social scientific research methods, combined with many years of experience in cooperative research projects, make BOKU an important scientific partner and coordinator for the project.

The Fraunhofer Gesellschaft is one of the leading organisations for applied research world-wide. The Fraunhofer-Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML (Fraunhofer IML), located in Dortmund, is said to be a leader in the holistic logistics research and is working on all fields of internal and external logistics. Within the ASAP project two departments will participate, namely “Environment and Resource Logistics” and “Transportation Logistics”. For reasons of sustainability and environmental protection, the department “Environment and Resource Logistics“ is researching new or optimized forms of infrastructure and resources for sustainable supply and disposal solutions. Achieving environmental improvement and optimize mobility and resources capacities as sustainable as possible is the main tasks of the department. Relating to this, the department has great knowledge in evaluating the environmental impact of specific logistics solutions. The department of “Transportation Logistics” is focused on applied research in the field of urban as well as multimodal logistics and transportation network and possesses great experience in the implementation and its transport related evaluation of innovative urban and multimodal logistics solutions as well in the field of urban and transport related data examination.

Specializing in last-mile challenges, FLUDIS (SAS, private enterprise) designs, develops, markets and operates innovative, low-carbon and competitive solutions for the urban logistics industries, through the promotion of the waterway. By contributing to the promotion of this infrastructure as a vector and opportunity for transport, storage, distribution and collection, FLUDIS wishes to contribute to the re-emergence of this axis for the mobility of goods in the city, by reducing the environmental and energy impact of its actors.
FLUDIS is launching a massive project for one of its clients, consisting in the supply by barge of 1000 pallets per day in Paris. Two barges, in rotation, will realise a massive entry of goods, 365 days per year, between the port of Gennevilliers and the centre of Paris. This system is part of the modal shift in urban logistics. With the barges, designed and fitted especially for the transport and the carry of this kind of urban containing, the project helps decarbonize the mobility of goods in Paris. This model is original and does not have any similar project worldwide.

As Germany’s second largest city Hamburg must deal with mobility needs and traffic flows that are subject to great dynamics. One of the greatest challenges is the change towards more sustainable metropolitan logistics. Due to the continuously strong e-commerce sector, parcel volumes are expected to rise, and, in connection, delivery traffic will significantly increase. While emissions can, in principle, be reduced to a very large extent by using vehicles with alternative drive systems, this by no means solves the second problem of urban transport. The demand for public space by motorised transport has reached dimensions that can only be satisfied if other uses are curtailed, and other means of transport are slowed down in their development. In this respect, the efforts to equip the same vehicles only with low-emission engines are not sufficient for a sustainable city. Rather, concepts must be developed with which transport can be handled more efficiently and with adapted vehicle sizes.
