PROJECT INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

The general objective of the MODELROAD project is to improve the logistic sustainability from a technical, economic and environmental point of view of the companies in the transport sector in the Valencian Community, both in long distance distribution and last mile, as a consequence of the existing differences between both types of routes. For this purpose, the following activities have been developed: 1) Characterization of the risks of the main long distance and last mile distribution routes in the Valencian Community, with the collaboration of the companies DHL, MRW, SEUR, GLS, CADE LOGISTICS, ADE LOGISTICA, CHOVI and GREFUSA; 2) Development of test protocols associated with the monitored distribution routes in order to improve the optimization of the packaging of products associated with both long-distance and last-mile transport; 3) Analysis and comparison of the economic, social and environmental costs associated with long-distance and last-mile distribution routes; 4) Analysis and comparison of the economic, social and environmental costs associated with long-distance and last-mile distribution routes; and 5) Development of a methodology for the analysis and comparison of the economic, social and environmental costs associated with long-distance and last-mile distribution routes.
