The Municipality of Reggio Emilia aims at promoting urban logistic measures with a low environmental impact through the GRETA Project. At the Fruit and Vegetables Market located in via Cisalpina 9, a hub for transferring goods from traditional vehicles to (electric) cargo bikes will be built. This pilot activity will allow logistic operators participating in the testing to reach the new hub by a traditional vehicle and use a storage of a 40 foot large container exclusively for more efficient goods’ delivery, with a last mile delivery on (pedal assisted) cargo bikes, in the city center, where the automatic access control is applied. The management of the logistic process relies exclusively on the applicant.
To this aim The Municipality of Reggio Emilia launched a public call for expression of interest for leasing contracts for free use of 1 box and related area until 31 March 2026 for logistic operators that intend to deliver goods by (pedal assisted) cargobikes. The call closes on January 25th, 2025.
