Resumen
The transport of goods, particularly in urban areas, contributes to a problem that most of today's cities share: they are overcrowded by motorised traffic. City administrations are aware of the fact that solutions have to be found. The Cyclelogistics (2011-2014) and Cyclelogistics Ahead (2014-2017) projects (www.cyclelogistics.eu) offer a possible solution. They demonstrate the great potential for the reduction in energy consumption and pollutants caused by urban goods transport by shifting intra-urban final delivery of goods from the car to the bicycle.
