Segro recently opened the “house of sustainable logistics” in its Centre Paris Les Gobelins, located in the 13th arrondissement of the city, where it will host a series of events.
On 26 March, a roundtable brought together industry experts to discuss topics centering on sustainability and urban logistics. Subjects included AI as a tool for optimising logistics flows, the design of delivery vehicles, and the future of cargo handling.
Prototypes were showcased, tackling different aspects of sustainable transport. The exhibits comprised a cargo train with flexible volumes, a cyclo-electric hybrid and modular battery van, and three exoskeletons, all targeting emissions reduction and process optimisation.
The “house of sustainable urban logistics” is a collaborative platform for public and private players, start-ups, academics, and experts to develop specific solutions that reconcile the logistics imperatives of cities with their environmental challenges, Segro said. The project is in line with the company’s long-term strategy to promote low-carbon growth, invest in local communities and nurture talent. (mk)
