The world is changing. There are
multiple issues concerning climate
and the
energy transition. Cities are growing exponentially creating new demands when
it concerns quality of life. The route is clear: city logistics will eventually–
become emission-free. Those who don’t like surprises are already anticipating
this. That’s why CitySwitch was developed.
CitySwitch
Logistics & Office
The market offers a variety of solutions
for Last Mile Logistics. Almost
all of them highlight Last Mile
Logistics from the point of view of
completing those last kilometres
as effectively as possible. That is
undeniably important, but is it also
future-proof? How do you ensure
that the transhipment point is a
pleasant workplace that contributes
to job satisfaction? And how do you
minimize the the cost of your operation
and the impact on the quality of life in the city?
Our logistics hubs enable us to effectively
serve the Last Mile in city centres.
CitySwitch is not only a point
of exchange for goods, but also for
means of transport. Grey becomes
green, circular becomes concrete.
Sustainability with decisiveness: that
is the foundation on which City-
Switch is building the future.
CitySwitch makes Last Mile Logistics
sustainable and efficient.
How can you organise freight transport to and from the city as efficiently as possible? And how can you stimulate
sustainability at the same time? CitySwitch has answers
to both questions. CitySwitch creates strategically located
logistics hubs on the outskirts of the city. Each hub
consists of two to eight units that are fully equipped for the
transhipment from trucks to electric vans and cargo bikes.
Therefore CitySwitch provides an ideal operating base to
serve the city.
CitySwitch is a sustainable distribution centre for city logistics. Each user has their own unit. Depending on the
location, two or four units are combined in a building. CitySwitch was developed for the transhipment of goods
from truck to electric (delivery)van or bicycle. The goods are then transported to their final destination in the
city.
Heavy goods vehicles are banned from the city centre. This is not only good for the living environment and
road safety, but also helps to optimise logistics flows. A unique feature is the spacious layout of the site with an
eye for safety, in which traffic flows are separated, also for employees. Trucks dock on the short side of a unit,
delivery vans and cargo bikes on the long side.
