  3. Rising demand: population and quality of life Changing customer demand Changing technology: fuel, telematics, use of real-time data Industry changes: internet ordering, omni-channel, near-sourcing, port-centric logistics Fragmentation of supply chains: growth of vans A higher political profile for freight: safety And freight is changing too

  4. London’s Challenges • Population: increase by 1.7 million • Employment: increase in by 0.8 million • Supporting London's competitiveness • 35 highway authorities: TfL, London Boroughs • Existing regulations: relevant? conflicting? • Safety: 50% cycling KSIs • Environment: air quality, emissions and ‘place’ • Changing road-space allocation • Congestion could increase by: • 60% in central London • 25% in inner London • 5% in outer London Doing nothing is not an option

  5. Central London – what we know DfT average annual daily flow HGV/LGV weekday movements in central London, by hour

  8. Achieving change Current level of freight activity: 100% voluntary incentives regulation Construction Target Essential activity

  9. Building on what works • Working with the industry to: • Raise safety standards • Improve route planning • Enable collaboration between businesses • Encourage consolidation • Gather the evidence • Retime deliveries • With the Freight Forum

  10. Retiming deliveries Re-timing Deliveries Consortium • Three boroughs, two supermarkets, two trade associations, London Councils • Detail, frustration and collaboration • Best practice guidance on core principles of successfully retiming deliveries • Technical trials • TfL premises • Matchmaking service

  11. Conclusion • Cities are changing and so are customer demands • Collaboration is key to better long-term results • Retiming is possible - and can lead to less congestion, fewer emissions, safer roads and reduce business costs • Consider the local community • London is not unique - we can all learn from others across the world • Let’s keep talking and sharing
