EcoLogistics India

Ecologistics looks at freight transport in India, Argentina & Colombia. Low carbon urban freight is an important part of emissions reduction & climate change.

(2/2) Wholesale vegetable and apple markets have been relocated to the outskirts to lessen congestion. #ecologistics #urbanfreight #climatechange #livablecity #internationalclimateinitiative #cleanair #shimla #hillcity #tourism #shimlamunicipalitycorporation #nhai

(1/2) Shimla’s mountainous terrain poses challenges in freight transport. Vehicles do not fit in the narrow, winding roads, and last-mile delivery is performed by headloaders, on foot.

(2/2) Traffic hotspots are around the Panaji Municipal Market, the main trading hub. #ecologistics #urbanfreight #climatechange #urbanplanning #internationalclimateinitiative #trafficjam #panaji #goa #tourism #corporationofthecityofpanaji

(1/2) In a tourist destination like Goa, the freight system is impacted by the changing population levels. The movement of goods has to be modular, as tourism and demand drops during monsoon.

(2/2) Efficient use of National Waterway 3 will reduce freight emissions. #ecologistics #urbanfreight #climatechange #internationalclimateinitiative #kochi #ernakulam #portcity #kochimunicipalitycorporation @c_hedcochin @CochinChamber1 @MetroRailKochi @EJADCS @transport_state

(1/2) In Kochi, the transport sector contributed 58% of total emissions in 2012-13. SEZs and two dedicated freight corridors connecting seaports, the airport, and the railway terminal have decongested city traffic.

Changing vehicles also makes calculating freight emissions complicated. #ecologistics #urbanfreight #climatechange #livablecity #internationalclimateinitiative #cleanair @ICLEI @ICLEISouthAsia @ecomobility_ @moefcc @MORTHIndia @MoHUA_India @FollowCII @BMWK

Goods arrive to cities in bulk by air, ship, or large multi-axle trucks. From warehouses to markets and inner-city lanes, they are unloaded and loaded into smaller and smaller vehicles, which requires space.

(2/2) Although they are not considered commercial freight vehicles, they operate informally as an important mode of urban freight transport. @DGP_Goa @ccpmayor @MauvinGodinho

(1/2) In Panaji, 2-wheelers make the largest number of trips per day at 57%, and account for just 1.87% of CO2 emissions. #ecologistics #urbanfreight #climatechange #livablecity #airpollution

(2/2) Freight movement increases to meet the demands of international tourists. #panaji #goa #tourism #corporationofthecityofpanaji @DGP_Goa @ccpmayor @MauvinGodinho

[EcoLogistics India @Ecologistics_In]

(1/2) The main economic activities in Panaji are fisheries and tourism. Fishery products are exported, while all consumer goods and construction materials are brought in. #ecologistics #urbanfreight #climatechange #livablecity #airpollution #internationalclimateinitiative

(2/2) As the administrative capital of Himachal Pradesh, population is on the rise. Freight movement also increases to meet the demand of tourists. @MunicipalShimla @DC_Shimla @NHAI_Official

[EcoLogistics India @Ecologistics_In]

(1/2) In Shimla, perishable, agricultural goods are transported to wholesale markets and out of state, while consumer goods are brought in. #urbanfreight #climatechange #livablecity #internationalclimateinitiative #shimla #hillcity #tourism #shimlamunicipalitycorporation

[EcoLogistics India @Ecologistics_In]

(2/2) The main export is fishery products, spices and rubber. @ched_cochin @CochinChamber1 @MetroRailKochi @EJADCS @transport_state

[EcoLogistics India @Ecologistics_In]

(1/2) Kochi has to handle all the goods that pass through its sea port. As a growing city, there is a high demand for consumer goods and construction materials, which are brought in. #kochi #ernakulam #kochimunicipalitycorporation #portcity

[EcoLogistics India @Ecologistics_In]

(2/2) An actual count of vehicles at various bottlenecks in the city illustrates some of the effects of freight transport on urban life. @ecomobility_ @ICLEI @ICLEISouthAsia @BMWK @iki_germany @moefcc @MORTHIndia @MoHUA_India @FollowCII

[EcoLogistics India @Ecologistics_In]

(1/2) The EcoLogistics project measures freight emissions using primary and secondary research. Data was gathered through interviews with stakeholders. #ecologistics #urbanfreight #climatechange #livablecity #internationalclimateinitiative #airpollution

[EcoLogistics India @Ecologistics_In]

(2/2) If the demand for freight transport is only going to increase, the least we can do is separate freight traffic from the usual flow of commuters and office-goers. @ecomobility_ @ICLEI @ICLEISouthAsia @BMWK @iki_germany @moefcc @MoHUA_India @MORTHIndia @FollowCII

[EcoLogistics India @Ecologistics_In]

(1/2) Many cities already have systems in place that restrict movement of goods to off-peak hours. #ecologistics #urbanfreight #climatechange #urbanplanning #internationalclimateinitiative #trafficjam
