🚴♂️📦 Too many delivery vans, too much congestion—what’s the fix? While urban logistics accounts for just 10-20% of city traffic, it’s responsible for over 25% of transport emissions, leading to idling, congestion, and oversized, polluting vehicles crowding our streets. A solution? Microhubs ↴ These small, strategically placed logistics spaces are designed to streamline deliveries, cut emissions, and make urban transport more efficient. But the term microhub is often misunderstood. Is it a parcel locker? A consolidation center? A charging hub? In our latest insight article, we explore: 🚚 What microhubs really are, and why they matter 🏙️ How cities can implement them through smart policies and partnerships 🌍 Real-life examples from Logroño, Bologna, and Athens, where Horizon Europe projects are testing microhubs to reshape last-mile logistics https://lnkd.in/dbgyinsH How can cities scale up microhubs to tackle delivery congestion?
