LEVV staat voor Lichte, Elektrische VrachtVoertuigen in stedelijke distributie. Een consortium onder leiding van de HvA (Hogeschool van Amsterdam) wil dat de gemeenteraad kiest voor een autoluwe stad met uitstootvrij (vracht)verkeer. Daar kunnen deze transportmiddelen, denk aan vrachtfietsen met elektrische trapondersteuning, aan bijdragen.

The number of light commercial vehicles (LCV) in cities is growing, which puts increasing pressure on the liveability of cities. Small electric freight vehicles and cargo bikes can offer a solution, as they take less space, can manoeuvre easily and free from polluting emissions. Within the two-year LEVV-LOGIC project, (2016-2018) the use of light electric freight vehicles (LEFVs) for city logistics is explored. The project combines expertise on logistics, vehicle design, charging infrastructure and business modelling to find the optimal concept. This paper presents guidelines for the design of LEFV based on the standardized rolling container (length 800 mm, width 640 mm, height 1600 mm) and for the charging infrastructure.

Deze rapportage is onderdeel van het LEVV-LOGIC project (2016-2018) waarinonderzoek gedaan wordt naar de inzet van lichte elektrische vrachtvoertuigen (LEVVs) voor stadslogistiek. Steeds meerbedrijven wilLEVVsontwikkelen of gebruiken voor het vervoer van goederen in steden. Echter, ditgaat gepaard met onzekerheid, onder andere door een gebrek aan eenduidig mobiliteitsbeleid omtrent de voertuigen. De voertuigen vallen momenteel vaak buitenfiets-, elektrisch vervoer-en goederenvervoerbeleid. Doel van deze rapportage is enerzijds om bedrijven te informeren over huidige en aankomende gemeentelijke beleidsmaatregelen die van invloed zijn op de inzet van LEVVsen anderzijds om gemeenten te motiveren via mobiliteitsbeleid in te spelen op de ontwikkelingenmet LEVVs.---This report is part of the LEVV-LOGIC project (2016-2018) which exploresthe use of light electric freight vehicles (LEFV) for city logistics. An increasing number of organisations wantsto develop oruse LEFVs for freight distribution in cities. However, thisis associated with uncertainty, as there areno clear mobility policiesfor thesevehicles. The vehicles are not explicitly part of local or national cycle-, electric transport-or freight policies. The aim of this report is first, to inform companies about current and future policy measures that influence the use of LEFVs and second, to encourage policy makers to respond to the development of LEFVs.

The number of light commercial vehicles (LCV) in cities is growing, which puts increasing pressure on the livability of cities. Freight vehicles are large contributors to polluting air and CO2 emissions and generate problems in terms of safety, noise and loss of public space. Small electric freight vehicles and cargo bikes can offer a solution, as they take less space, can maneuver easily and do not emit local pollution. There is an increasing interest in these vehicle, called light electric freight vehicles (LEFV’s), among logistic service providers in European cities. However, various technical and operational challenges impede large scale implementation. Within the two-year LEVV-LOGIC project, (2016-2018) the use of LEFV’s for city logistics is explored. The project combines expertise on logistics, vehicle design, charging infrastructure and business modelling to find the optimal concept in which LEFV’s can be a financial competitive alternative for conventional freight vehicles. This contribution to EVS30 will present the project’s first year results, showing the guideline for and the applied design of LEFV for future urban city logistics.

Waste collection is an important volume in city logistics today. In the LEVV-LOGIC project the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (NL) performed research on waste and the potential use of light commercial vehicles for waste collection in cities.

De Hogeschool van Amsterdam (HvA) onderzoekt in het project LEVV-Logic de inzet van lichte elektrische vrachtvoertuigen (LEVV’s) voor de levering van goederen in steden. Natuurlijk is het handig dat je vrijwel alles, van nieuwe kleren tot je maaltijd aan toe, 24/7 thuis kunt laten bezorgen. Maar het creëert wel een logistieke uitdaging voor het milieu, het verkeer in de stad en de bezorgdiensten. Gelukkig lenen volgens internationaal onderzoek veel binnensteden zich goed voor LEVV’s en daar ligt een deel van de oplossing. De HvA onderzoekt hoe je in de binnenstad tegelijkertijd de luchtkwaliteit, bereikbaarheid en bezorgdiensten optimaliseert.

The number of light commercial vehicles in cities is growing, which puts increasing pressure on the liveability of cities. Light electric freight vehicles (LEFV) and cargo bikes can offer a solution, as they occupy less space, can be manoeuvred easily and does not emit tailpipe pollutants. This paper presents the results of the first half-year of the LEVV-LOGIC project (2016-2018), aimed at exploring the potential of LEFVs for various urban freight flows. Delivery characteristics, trends, practical examples and the judgement of experts are combined to assess the potential of LEFVs for seven major urban freight flows. The preliminary analysis concludes that every urban freight flow has a certain level of potential for using LEFV. In particular parcel and food deliveries have high potential; however, deliveries related to services and the last phase of construction work can also be switched to LEFV. In comparison, non-food deliveries to retail establishments and the collection of waste collection have less potential. Though the latter can change when recycling standards become higher.
