Description
The LIFE GYR project aims to promote energy-efficient urban freight transport through the introduction of green routing. It will demonstrate and deliver an innovative, smart and integrated vehicle-routing platform to five SMEs in three EU Member States (Czech Republic, Greece and Italy). The platform will include tools and services for making environmentally-friendly routing decisions that take into account eco-driving requirements and cost-efficiency. A key principle is that lower GHG emissions can be achieved by improving the logistics operations of freight-focused SMEs without a huge investment of money and time. The project also aims to introduce an innovative policy in the pan-European transport system based on cost-saving green routing; prepare for the replicability and transferability of GYR services to other sectors, regions and entities; and to establish a GYR company to provide a verified green routing service to transport operators. In addition, it will raise awareness and mobilise actors to adopt green procurement rules towards sustainable urban mobility.
