From the UDC Eco-friendly Vehicles depart for deliveries in the city centre (so called “Last Mile”). Cityporto Model works with: • UDC (Interporto di Padova as Freight Village) • Low Emission Vehicles (6 vehicles LNG powered) • Traffic Limitations (Restricted Traffic Area = ZTL) established by Municipality of Padova • Time windows for access and loading/unloading • Transport operators directly involved • Participation on voluntary basis • Tariff per delivery agreed with third party operators (couriers, forwarders) • Industrial Plan aimed also to economic sustainability The service started in April 2004. Logistic operators (couriers, forwarders) currently using this service are 90% of the total operating in Padova area. They can reallocate vehicle and personnel resources for deliveries outside the City centre. The Public Subjects organized preliminary meetings to build a constructive confrontation with the economical parties and trade associations. Interporto di Padova monthly publishes a report to show the traffic data to the other Public Subjects. Interporto di Padova monthly shows to other Municipality Representatives (Italian and Foreign) the good practice and the good results of Cityporto Service. All the Cityporto LNG Vehicles have logos and writings to show to Padova citizens the importance of this service. Picture 1: One of the 6 LNG Cityporto Vehicles operating in Padova 2
Conclusions: The presence of Cityporto transit point allows a net reduction of the route length for deliveries in the inner city. Despite of the engines and fuel used by Cityporto vehicles, the service results in a significant reduction of congestion and emissions. A study of Università Bocconi di Milano shows that in a surveyed period of 15 months, from September 2004 to December 2005, the implementation of Cityporto service determined the reduction of pollutants as follows: • CO 2 : 38,4 Ton • CO: 202 Kg • NOx: 163 Kg • SOx: 16,3 Kg • VOC: 58,1 Kg • PM10: 41,4 Kg Despite the point of view of pollution and congestion reduction, the service is the first project in Italy financially successful, with an industrial plan aimed to sustainability. Cityporto has been proving to be a possible model to be exported not only in Italy.
