August 31, 2022 — What is the future of freight? That is the question we’re aiming to answer over the next year in our Urban Freight Lab project on Urban Freight in 2030.
As part of the project, we’ve launched a new blog series on The Future of Delivery: Urban Freight in 2030, where we will explore emerging trends in urban freight transportation, discuss impacts on local and global sustainable development, and share our collective vision for the future of urban freight over the next eight years and beyond. We’re tapping into the expertise of our industry members (representing private sector companies in shipping, technology, manufacturing, real estate, and retail), our public sector partners (Seattle’s and Bellevue’s departments of transportation), and our own subject matter experts to create a shared vision of the future of urban freight.
Our latest blog post discusses the charging infrastructure and strategy needed to spark electrification in urban freight.
