The URBACT Freight TAILS project will address the challenges posed by rapidly increasing freight movements, within the context of all urban logistics. Freight transport, by its very nature, negatively impacts on cities – road delivery trucks are voluminous, they can be large, noisy, polluting, tending to be diesel vehicles. This Freight TAILS project will develop tailored freight management policies using the URBACT Integrated Action Planning methodology to pro-actively support the functioning of different growing cities, whilst reducing the carbon emissions associated with urban freight transport, and stimulating the low carbon urban freight sector. The Freight TAILS project involves 10 cities across Europe: Brussels, Gdynia, La Rochelle, Maastricht, Parma, Split, Suceava, Tallinn, Umea and central London.Freight TAILS will deliver Tailored Approaches for Innovative Logistics Solutions (TAILS). The freight sector is particularly interesting from an URBACT perspective due to the multiplicity of relevant stakeholder groups. URBACT Local Groups will ensure the needs of businesses, residents and visitors are met in environmentally sustainable ways. The Freight TAILS Action Planning Network will enable the knowledge and experience gained locally, to be shared amongst all partners and beyond.The Freight TAILS project will be led by Westminster City Council, on behalf of Cross River Partnership, the delivery agency for the central London sub-region.
