2 The DGG German Freight Village Association Since 1993: roof organisation of the German Freight Villages (FV) in Bremen, which supports the interests of the FV development companies and settlers. The DGG is not only an association, but also working in relevant logistical research and consulting projects. The Management of the DGG is done by LUB Consulting GmbH Dresden and the Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL), Bremen since Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 2

5 Freight Village definition 1. Settlement of transport-oriented (independent) companies, logistics service providers and logistics-intensive trade and production enterprises in a commercial area 2. Freight Villages should contain an intermodal road/rail or inland waterway/road/rail terminal with open access to every potential user 3. To support synergy potentials, the establishment of suitable organisational structures (i.e. FV development company) is recommended Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 5

6 Agenda traffic traffic avoidance reduction Shifting (area and modal) economics logistics service productivity economic structure ecology ecologogy reduction of emission mobility FV development planning development planning urbanism chances for town planning activities FV goals Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 6

10 The FV Bremen some facts and figures (2) The FV Bremen has direct road and rail access, a combined transport terminal with a capacity of loading units p.a., and only 3 km to the seaport of Bremen and 6 km to the airport Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 10

15 The main advantages (1) Advantages in urban planning: relocation of distribution facilities from sensitive districts, reducing noise emissions, Urban Logistics low conflict potential (24h operation possible) Exposed location at the intersection of transport corridors, link between long-haul and last mile transportation Highly developed infrastructure, often trimodal intermodality increases commercial flexibility and investment security Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 15

16 The main advantages (2) Expansion areas High level awareness of the brand GVZ Further synergy effects through active cooperation of stakeholders (e.g. load consolidation) City/Urban Logistics Potential for major logistics settlements (for example, by large warehouse investors) Mix of industries - shippers and logistics service providers Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 16

18 SWOT-Analysis (1) Strengths: Location at the intersection of supraregional routes Very good infrastructure Trimodality Logistics Cluster High logistical expertise Opportunities: Potential for major logistics settlements Further synergy effects through active cooperation of stakeholders Reduction of regional competition by the concentration of the regional logistics expertise at one location Industry mix - shippers and logistics service providers in proximity Competitive advantage through sustainability strategies / Green Logistics Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun Veranstaltung 18

19 SWOT-Analysis (2) Weaknesses: Economically underdeveloped region Partial to low capacity, for example for containers Laborious approval procedures Partial limited expansion options Partial high land prices Threats: Savings in the development of infrastructure An increasing number separate commercial areas in the vicinity Increasing dependence on large shippers Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun Veranstaltung 19

24 Working Definition To set the Freight Village locations apart from other industrial areas, the focus was put on two main criteria: intermodality of the area, which means the interface of at least two modes of transport, in general road and rail. role of the management company and the existing service structures. Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 24

27 Locations of the FV in Europe Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 27

28 European FV Benchmarking Ranking of the European FV-locations - Benchmarking of the European experiences Results Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 28

29 European FV locations - Ranking TOP 20 More than 100 FVs europewide (the best ranked of each country marked with logo) Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 29

30 TOP 20 Performance 250 points available in total Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun Position Location Performance 1 I - Interporto Verona D - GVZ Bremen D - GVZ Nürnberg I - Interporto Bologna E - Madrid CTC-Coslada I - Interporto Torino I - Interporto Nola Campano I - Interporto Parma E - ZAL Barcelona D - GVZ Berlin Süd I - Interporto Padova E- Plaza Logistica Zaragoza A - Cargo Center Graz D - GVZ Leipzig F - Delta 3 Lille H - BILK Logistics Budapest I - Interporto Novara GB - DIRFT Daventry GB Wakefield 165 F - Eurocentre Toulouse

31 Summary Benchmarking/Ranking (1) The German FVs and the Italian Interporti belong to the leading locations in Europe and define the European performance standards due to the results of the analyses. Alongside Spain belongs to the leading countries which established the FV idea successfully. FVs of these three countries hold the TOP 10 positions in Europe. The Interporto Verona which is one of the most important locations of combined transport in Europe takes position 1 in the ranking. Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 31

32 Summary Benchmarking/Ranking (2) The Freight Village locations Bremen and Nuremberg (position 2 and 3) could establish and even extend their leading position in Germany compared to the FV ranking of 2007/2008. The very good rank of the German FVs is based predominantly on the relatively very high number of employees. The reason for the good result of the Italian FV is highly qualified organisation structures. Additionally, the amount of combined transport in the Italian Interporti is very high (gateway function) Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 32

33 Summary Benchmarking/Ranking (3) Therefore the established locations are to be found in Western and Southern Europe. The establishment of the FV idea grows slowly in Eastern Europe. In this respect, Hungary takes a leading position with 13 locations. Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 33

35 Perspective The FV concept has been extended Europe-wide and will be continued in the upcoming years. Freight Villages are powerful nodes, and agree with the logistics trends Globalization, Green Logistics or Transport Safety/Security Increase of container traffic in Germany/Europe and worldwide can push intermodal transport solutions (seaports hinterland) EU Projects Dr. Thomas Nobel/Feliks Mackenthun 35
