Freight Transportation & Urban Goods Movement
Urban freight transportation and goods movement are crucial segments of the modern transport network. When the freight transport system is negatively impacted, so too are many of the critical networks that feed us, keep us healthy, and power the economy. In the past decade, the way our goods are transported has changed significantly. Elements such as new technologies, the rise of e-commerce platforms, the increasing demands of customers, and the overall urban mobility landscape have all played a role in this shift. To help cities and regions make sense of and remedy these challenges for long-term success, we leverage our years of experience in the freight transportation and urban goods movement sector, offering our clients a range of tailored services.
