U-TURN “Rethinking Urban Transportation through advanced tools and supply chain collaboration”

Monday, September 25th, 2017

U-TURN project joined ALICE Liaison Program with Research & Innovation Projects in July 2017.

Population growth, congestion and environmental damage alongside increased use of convenience stores and the home delivery of Internet purchased groceries are challenging the traditional methods of food logistics. U-TURN is a 3-year project running until May 2018 that will investigate and identify new models for urban food transportation to bring about environmental and societal benefits. Involving nine European partners the project focuses on research and solutions to urban logistics in Athens, Milan and London.
