Imagine if shipping goods worked like the internet, where packages move through a shared network instead of every company owning its own separate trucks and warehouses. It's like a giant ride-sharing app but for freight, where businesses share space and containers to stop driving empty trucks. This makes moving goods cheaper and removes the pollution caused by inefficient trips.
Freight transport is currently fragmented and inefficient, leading to high carbon emissions and wasted capacity. Companies lack the shared standards and trust needed to pool resources and share assets.
Five Logistics Innovations including a trustee matchmaking platform, an eFTI compliance service for SMEs, smart urban hubs, a carbon emission calculation chain, and a reusable modular box system.
If you are a freight forwarder dealing with inefficient truck loads and high carbon costs — this project developed volume pooling and matchmaking tools that increase intermodality and reduce emissions.
If you are a delivery provider dealing with urban congestion and fragmented hubs — this project developed smart synchromodal hubs that create hyperconnected urban logistics.
If you are a packaging company dealing with single-use waste and high material costs — this project developed a governance system for reusable standard modular boxes.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the objective is to establish 'affordable' collaborative logistics networks.
The project aims to scale up five logistics innovations from TRL5 to 8 and test them in real-world pilots across 9 countries.
Based on available project data, the project promotes 'open standardised processes' and 'open volume pooled governance', suggesting a focus on shared standards rather than closed IP.
The project specifically addresses eFTI compliance for SMEs and aligns with the UN 2030 sustainable development agenda.
The project period runs from 2025-07-01 to 2028-12-31.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with 19 industrial partners (59% ratio), including 11 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, spanning 9 European countries, indicates a high likelihood of practical application and market validation for the 5 logistics innovations being developed.
