Bezorging in Zuidas emissievrij

Green Business Club Zuidas (GBC Zuidas) start in samenwerking met Hulshoff een pilot om producten aan bedrijven in Zuidas gratis via een hub gebundeld en emissievrij te bezorgen.

Participanten van GBC Zuidas hebben hun leveranciers van onder andere kantoorartikelen en sanitaire producten gevraagd alle bestellingen aan de logistieke hub van Hulshoff, net buiten de ring van Amsterdam, te leveren. Vervolgens bezorgt Hulshoff alles een aantal keer per week, op afgesproken tijden bij de bedrijven, rekening houdend met het serviceniveau dat de bedrijven gewend zijn. Dit met volledig elektrische vrachtwagens, die zijn opgeladen met lokaal opgewekte zonne-energie. Resultaat: minder verkeer in de stad, minder uitlaatgassen, minder CO2 uitstoot.

Hulshoff biedt deze service gratis aan tot april 2020, waardoor Green Business Club Zuidas, Hulshoff, de deelnemende participanten en leveranciers kunnen ervaren wat de voordelen en eventuele nadelen zijn van het leveren via een hub. Na deze proefperiode kunnen de bedrijven beslissen of ze doorgaan met deze vorm van belevering. Eerder deze maand begon een aantal huurders van World Trade Center Amsterdam al aan de proef.

Technisch dienstverlener en energiebedrijf ENGIE is een van de deelnemers die sinds een paar weken is gestart met de pilot. Tot nu toe lijkt het te bevallen.

“Leveranciers bezorgen onze bestellingen nu bij de hub, en elke dag komt er één elektrische vrachtwagen bij het WTC om de producten af te geven. Dat is voor de medewerkers die bestellingen aannemen ook makkelijker. Het was wel een uitdaging om deze nieuwe aanpak met de leveranciers af te stemmen, iedereen moet er even aan wennen. Maar uiteindelijk moeten we de transitie naar emissievrije logistiek samen waarmaken.” Aldus Ruben Zonnevijlle, contractmanager bij ENGIE Services.

Verder nemen de volgende organisaties deel aan de pilot: Accenture, APG, Arcadis, CBRE, D&B The Facility Group, Heyday Facility Management, ISS Facility Services, Page Group, WTC Amsterdam.

Achtergrond
Vandaag voor 23.00 besteld, morgen in huis, is de trend waarmee online shops hun klanten proberen te trekken. Maar is dit een ontwikkeling die op lange duur houdbaar is? Kunnen we niet door slimmer te plannen en bewuster om te gaan met bezorging toe met minder vervoersbewegingen, en dan het liefst emissievrij? De pilot met Hulshoff is een mooi experiment om er achter te komen of sneller altijd beter is.
Deze pilot past in de doelstelling van de Green Deal ZES, die GBC Zuidas vorig jaar ondertekende. In deze Green Deal committeren partijen zich aan de ambitie om steden in 2025 zoveel als mogelijk emissievrij te beleveren.

A previous post made it clear that a 15-minute city ideally consists of a 5-minute walking zone, a 15-minute walking zone, also a 5-minute cycling zone and a the 15-minute cycling zone. These three types of neighbourhoods and districts should be developed in conjunction, with employment accessibility also playing an important role.

In the plans for 15-minute cities in many places around the world, these types of zones intertwine, and often it is not even clear which type of zone is meant. In Paris too, I miss clear choices in this regard.

The city of Melbourne aims to give a local lifestyle a dominant place among all residents. Therefore, everyone should live within at most 10 minutes' walking distance to and from all daily amenities. For this reason, it is referred to as a 20-minute city, whereas in most examples of a 15-minute city, such as Paris, it is only about <strong>the round trip</strong>. The policy in Melbourne has received strong support from the health sector, which highlights the negative effects of traffic and air pollution.

In Vancouver, there is talk of a 5-minute city. The idea is for neighbourhoods to become more distinct parts of the city. Each neighbourhood should have several locally owned shops as well as public facilities such as parks, schools, community centres, childcare and libraries. High on the agenda is the push for greater diversity of residents and housing types. Especially in inner-city neighbourhoods, this is accompanied by high densities and high-rise buildings. Confronting this idea with reality yields a pattern of about 120 such geographical units (see map above).

Many other cities picked up the idea of the 15-minute city. Among them: Barcelona, London, Milan, Ottawa, Detroit and Portland. The organisation of world cities C40 (now consisting of 96 cities) elevated the idea to the main policy goal in the post-Covid period.

All these cities advocate a reversal of mainstream urbanisation policies. In recent decades, many billions have been invested in building roads with the aim of improving accessibility. This means increasing the distance you can travel in a given time. As a result, facilities were scaled up and concentrated in increasingly distant places. This in turn led to increased congestion that negated improvements in accessibility. The response was further expansion of the road network. This phenomenon is known as the 'mobility trap' or the Marchetti constant.

Instead of increasing accessibility, the 15-minute city aims to expand the number of urban functions you can access within a certain amount of time. This includes employment opportunities. The possibility of working from home has reduced the relevance of the distance between home and workplace. In contrast, the importance of a pleasant living environment has increased. A modified version of the 15-minute city, the 'walkable city' then throws high hopes. That, among other things, is the subject of my next post.

Last month designers FABRICations, Studio To Create and Inbo the question: “How can drones create a more livable Amsterdam?” The teams developed near-future design scenarios were emergency response and delivery of goods (and people) would impact project areas the Western Port Area, Amsterdam Zuidoost, and RAI Amsterdam. Project partners Arcam and the Amsterdam Drone Lab invite you to the “Urban Sky Lab” expo which kicks off with an actual drone flying from Marineterrein to the ARCAM building to open the expo. Curious about the design proposals? or how this new low altitude airspace above our city will work? Join us!
