"GreenTurn" launched with Austrian participation!

The large-scale EU project "GreenTurn" has started with Austrian participation! ECONSULT and the logistics fulfilment service provider LogPOINT are on board – together they are developing and testing new methods for achieving zero-emission logistics in e-commerce.

The focus is on the decision-making behaviour of online shoppers, as well as information control and the possibilities of "behavioural interventions" – at the same time, new returns options are an issue! When and under what conditions are green delivery options perceived and selected when shopping online? What mechanisms, incentives and "nudges" are needed to achieve this?

As a partner of Austrian Logistics, we are very pleased to be able to contribute Austrian know-how to a Horizon 2020 project! This is a great success, as pilot activities and tests will also be carried out in Vienna over the next few years as part of the project – a contribution to Sustainable Logistics 2030+ and the SULP for Vienna

Conference Logistics Property

The last mile has become the central issue in times of rising emissions, impending diesel driving bans, the expansion of pedestrian zones, the increasing desire to minimize traffic and not least also massively increasing customer requirements - keyword "same-day delivery". Suitable logistics space and logistics real estate are of primary importance for the new forms of urban logistics, and the interface in the transport chain is getting closer to and into the cities and sometimes directly to the customer.

Jürgen Schrampf of ECONSULT took over chairmanship and moderation at the imh conference "Logistics Real Estate" on February 27, 2018. The main content was the consideration of the new roles and functions of logistics real estate in connection with sustainable logistics solutions.

Exciting projects and concepts were presented and discussed - among others with experts from the real estate development, the electromobility research, with start-ups in the direct sales as well as the branch experts of UPS and DPD. The subject of micro-depot was discussed intensively, as there are already "lessons learned" from the first pilot projects and new concepts for the future.

Martin Schmid reports on the successful collaboration at Smart Campus

In the course of the construction of the "Smart Campus" of Wiener Netze, ECONSULT took over the planning and realization of several operational areas. In addition to the conceptual design of the layout and storage facilities, specifications for building design and building technology have been elaborated.

Based on that ECONSULT prepared the tender for the workshop equipment and warehouse technology and supported the selection of the best supplier. META Regaltechnik was awarded the contract and fulfilled this order with the support of ECONSULT.

This successful collaboration was the reason to invite Martin Schmid to present this best practice project at the international export conference 2017, which took place in Vienna this year. Representatives of the trade partners and daughters from many countries followed the invitation and took the opportunity to visit the implementation on site.

At the moment no events are planned.
