The U-TURN Project
U-TURN project aims to address freight urban
distribution, focusing on food logistics.
U-TURN project will suggest innovative collaboration
practices and tools towards achieving more efficient
operations from both an environmental and cost
perspective.

Setting the Scene: The 2020 EUROPEAN consumer will be..
The food logistics context
In Europe, around 75% of the population lives in urban areas
This is foreseen to increase up to 80% by 2020.
Urban freight traffic accounts for about 10-15% of kilometers
travelled
and emits approximately 6% of all transport-related GHG
emissions.
The food logistics context
Two major consumer trends increases the transport burden in
urban contexts
a. shopping packaged goods in smaller convenient retail shops in
urban areas on a more frequent basis;
b. online shopping with special home-delivery requirements.
The shared logistics practice has raised a lot of attention among
manufacturers, logistics service providers and retailers
Sharing logistics in freight transport is related to three main issues: a)
vehicle sharing, b) infrastructure sharing and c) route sharing.
Main Objectives
Analyse existing transportation flows of food products in urban
areas,
Identify opportunities for consolidating transportation flows in this
context and define collaboration practices
Measure the impact of the identified practices and strategies,
Involve market stakeholders
Main Objectives
Design and implement a simulation tool
Design and implement a collaboration platform
Conduct pilots applying representative collaborative proposals in
practice (real-life scenarios)
Propose a set of guidelines (roadmap)

Pilots Overview
Pilot 1
Distribution of packaged goods
from food manufacturers to retail
outlets located in urban areas
Pilot 2
Distribution of fresh food from
local producers to consumers in
urban areas
Pilot 3
Food delivery from online
retailers to consumers in
urban areas

Method & Outcomes
User
Requirements
Elicitation
A set of shared logistics models proposed at each
one of the pilots contexts 1
Industry insights gathered about potential benefits
and feasibility of shared logistics models 2
Opportunities for consolidating transportation
flows were identified by analyzing the existing
transportation flows in urban areas 3
Market Assessments undertaken to
understand business environment
4
User insights about U-TURN Tools 5
Method & Outcomes
Design and
Development
The U-TURN Platform to support the synergies identification and
shared logistics implementation 1
An smart matching algorithm for addressing the needs of a
collaborative urban transportation of goods. 3
An economic and assessment tool for evaluating alternative
distribution logistics models 2
A simulation tool that integrates supply chain network with a
collaborative route planning algorithm for the last mile 4
Demonstration
and Evaluation
The vehicle sharing type of the proposed shared logistics
models proposed evaluated by using actual data from 3PLs
and farmers
1
Simulation model applied for implementing an Urban
Consolidation Center by using actual data from 3PLs companies
Stable matching algorithm applied at two cases a) 3PLs
for Greece, and b) farmer case in order to identify synergies 3
2
Method & Outcomes
Stakeholder
Engagement
Two working groups on shared logistics with the
support of the Greek Logistics Association (EEL)
and Efficient Consumer Response (ECR)
organization were organized in the context of Pilot 1.
1
17 in-depth interviews
with the representatives
of the most important
3PLs companies,
retailers and suppliers in
the FMCG sector
2 15 interviews were
organized with
agricultural associations
and farmer’s districts to
discuss about current
transport practices
3 10 interviews with several
stakeholders within the UK
market. In terms of UK
grocery retailers, these
include Sainsbury, Asda,
Waitrose, Morrisons, Abel &
Cole.
4
Participation in the ‘Annual Transportation
Research Board Meeting’ where the U-TURN
presented to US-EU Urban Twinning Roundtable
and participation in the USA study tour to
European urban logistics projects
5 the Urban Consolidation Centers related project outcomes will be taken into account for the
composition of the Presidential Decree for the Operations of Urban Consolidation Centers in
Greece
6
Primary distribution data received by
8 3PLs companies (6-months period
data) and 6 suppliers and retailers
and 2 supermarkets UK retailers

Some Highlights
Pilot 1 transport matching platform shows the potential to increase loading factor by 11-25% and reduce travelled distance by 44%
Desire by industry stakeholders to collaborate in physical pilot and use the technology
Pilot 3 mathematical model shows potential to reduce costs of transport by 5%
General
• Significant interaction with industry UK, Italy, Greece
• Development of transport matching platform
• Dissemination event in UK with more planned
• Engagement with other Horizon projects
