Zero Construction Logistics

For CO2-free urban logistics, construction site logistics is an as yet unsolved problem. Freight transport with high tonnages contributes to high pollution of both CO2 and nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2). Across Europe, the limit values for nitrogen oxides are regularly exceeded, especially in cities.[1] in a large city like Vienna, construction site traffic accounts for about two thirds of freight traffic in tonnes.[2] The construction of one flat causes about 60 lorry journeys. A total of between 2,500 and 3,000 kilometres are covered in the process. The average annual residential construction output in Vienna of 5,000 dwellings thus generates about 15 million lorry kilometres.[3] Typically, older trucks tend to be used in construction site traffic. Due to the high proportion of heavy goods vehicles and the fact that some of these vehicles are already older, construction site journeys account for around 10% of total traffic emissions.[4]
