Case TNT Express
TNT-Brussels 5,5 x 11,6km Goteburg Page 29
Mobile depot 1 x Goteburg Page 30
Alternatives to be compared 1. New concept: mobile depot and tricycle couriers (real data from 3 months test) 2. Original way of working: inner-city distribution from the TNT depot with vans and small trucks (real data) 3. Intermediate way of working: inner-city distribution from cycle courier s depot with electrically driven tricycles (real data) 4. Additional concept: mobile depot and small electric car (real data) Goteburg Page 31
Stakeholders
Objectives TNT EXPRESS Owner of the project Cost-efficiency Employee satisfaction Less emissions Smooth information flows Customer satisfaction Goteburg Page 33
Objectives CUSTOMER TNT EXPRESS Smooth pick-ups Satisfied consignees Low cost deliveries Customer satisfaction might change Changed delivery times Goteburg Page 34
Objectives CONSIGNEES Changed delivery times and punctuality Smooth deliveries Attractive physical urban environment Less congestion Traffic safety No noise nuisance Les emissions Less visual nuisance Safety of his goods Goteburg Page 35
Objectives LOCAL AUTHORITIES Fewer TNT vehicles in Brussels Mobile depot will be parked in the city centre Efficient urban deliveries Attractive physical urban environment Less congestion Traffic safety No noise nuisance Low cost measures Les emissions Less visual nuisance Attractive urban environment for companies Goteburg Page 36
Objectives CITIZENS Reduced noise/emissions/traffic due to the use of electric tricycles Attractive physical urban environment Less congestion Traffic safety No noise nuisance Les emissions Less visual nuisance Good availability of a wide range of products in shops Goteburg Page 37
