Construction materials make up 30-40 percent of goods moved around modern cities. A centralised logistics depot in Stockholm will help cut emissions associated with these journeys drastically, allowing materials to be moved in the most efficient way possible. Using hybrid-electric and ethanol fueled vehicles will also help reduce emissions.
This is just one example of the kind of measures that GrowSmarter will deal with to improve the energy-efficiency of urban mobility in its demonstration cities.
