Transport innovations on display included the Smart Urban Freight Designer Tool as well as best practices from the partner cities and regions.

The Smartfusion project is built upon existing urban freight development strategies from the three trial city regions. The City of Berlin demonstrated integrated technology solutions, Como in Italy showcased a remote monitoring system for fully electric vehicles, and Newcastle upon Tyne examined collaborative approaches for urban and interurban shipments using electric trucks.


Zeljko Jeftic, head of projects at Smartfusion consortium member IRU, said: “Transport operators are an essential partner for further improving urban freight deliveries. The useful practical tools developed through this project will be instrumental to ensure uptake and the successful implementation of tried and tested innovative solutions.”
