“…Alternatively powered passenger cars make up only 3.4% of the total EU car fleet [8]. The global population is increasingly concentrating in cities [9]; a similar situation applies to EU countries, including Poland. The increasing number of city dwellers affects the higher number of road vehicles and an increase in the air pollution.…”

This article has taken up an issue concerning the influence of the implementation of electromobility assumptions on reduction of air pollution in cities in terms of sustainable urban transport systems. The essential nature of the subject is confirmed by the following figures: transport is responsible for almost 25% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and is the main cause of air pollution in cities, almost 90% of city dwellers in the EU are exposed to levels of air pollutants deemed harmful by the WHO, and approximately 95% of vehicles on European roads still use fossil fuels. Therefore, the implemented transport policy, both in the international and domestic aspect of particular countries, is facing the need to significantly reduce the negative influence of transport on people and the environment. Electromobility has become one of the concepts that makes it possible to achieve this goal. Its main objective is to reduce emissions of harmful substances into the environment by deploying electric vehicles (EVs). Research conducted by the authors showed that public transport, apart from the obvious effect of decreased number of private vehicles and decreased congestion, can contribute to reduced air pollutant emissions and become a significant driver for the implementation of electromobility in cities. However, the achievement of this goal depends on taking appropriate actions not only in the transport branch but also in other sectors of economy. The following research methods were applied in the article: literature analysis, documentary method, case study, and mathematical methods. The research area was the city of Szczecin, Poland.

“…The characterization of the FUA is to be done by means of investigation (surveys and traffic counts), which gives a picture of the demand for urban freight transport services, and by means of the supply process (services, operators and infrastructures). In order to achieve this, it is necessary to collect data through surveys [36]. The research does not only apply to the infrastructure analysis, traffic count, cargo flows, etc., but also to the attitude of the stakeholders.…”

The Tendency of Urban Stakeholders to Adopt Sustainable Logistics Measures on the Example of a Polish Metropolis

The scale of policies and measures for sustainable urban freight transport in European cities is still insignificant. However, the situation is changing as more and more cities are adopting sustainable urban logistics plans (SULPs). The situation in cities is extremely heterogeneous, so it would be difficult to point to one single policy that fits all. Yet the tool created with European projects constituting an instruction to prepare SULP allows us to follow the standardized steps, regardless of the conditions found in particular cities. The effectiveness of implementing sustainable measures to a large extent depends on the level of acceptability of individual urban space stakeholders. The article presents the results of a survey conducted among stakeholders of a Polish metropolis-the Gdansk-Gdynia-Sopot metropolitan area. The analysis showed that acceptability rises with the increase in the size of the surveyed entities. The most diversified acceptability ratings were obtained for the transport infrastructure solutions. Proposals for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) solutions are rated more positively by medium-sized and large enterprises. These solutions are assessed with greater caution by small and micro enterprises. The least diversified and clearly higher acceptance indicators were obtained for proposals in the scope of shaping sustainable urban transport development. The assessments obtained from the respondents should therefore constitute an important element of the works for developing the sustainable urban logistics plans starting in 2020 and also the opinions can be an important element of the future sustainable urban logistics plans, which are currently being developed in many European cities. of tools to improve the communication of the organizers of goods flows. Urban logistics projects most often aim to reduce the number of individual cars, decrease pollutant emissions in urban spaces, change regulations, e.g., restrictions on driving in urban areas (concerning the size and type of vehicles, hours of entry, charges, exhaust emissions, stopping) or the consolidation of goods in urban mini hubs. However, the introduction of new solutions is impossible without a long-term strategy developed by transport policy makers and the collection of data from the market.Usually the main objective of city logistics projects is to reduce individual motorization in order to reduce pollutant emissions in urban spaces. These projects concern changes in regulations, changes in the type of vehicles and consolidation centers. In the limited space of a historical city, conceptual change (e.g., cooperation, dock-sharing) may be easier to introduce than hard measures.As part of an impressive number of initiatives over the past few years, many European cities have embarked on a number of sustainable freight transport projects. The goal of the NOVELOG (New Cooperative Business Models and Guidance for Sustainable City Logistics) project in the years 2015-2018 was to enable cities to implement effective and sus...

“…In addition, it is necessary to approach the development of infrastructure that will enable the development of operations that are an integral part of the urban logistics process, such as logistics and distribution centers within the urban area that are used for the consolidation and deconsolidation of goods, which raises the question of their optimal positioning in the urban area [7]. Likewise, it is necessary to change the organization of the delivery process itself, in the context of planning night deliveries, to create plans for sustainable urban logistics, which must be interpolated into the urban area development strategy [8]. It should be emphasized that everything described must be sustainable; that is, it must not have a significant negative impact on the components of sustainability.…”

Sustainable urban logistics is imperative in view of the increasing demands related to sustainability and the satisfaction of requirements related to sustainability, and it supports the implementation and use of solutions based on the application of electric vehicles when talking about transport logistics, ensuring all the resources necessary for the development of the basic urban process, and similar. In order to analyze the current situation related to the progress of researchers, in this paper, a bibliometric analysis of existing papers and research in the field of sustainable urban logistics was carried out. According to the findings, there is a significant lack of research dealing with urban logistics from the perspective of the supporting process, and a large number of authors summarize urban logistics solely from the perspective of transportation and storage.
