Abstract :
This paper presents some of the results of CityLog, a European Union project approved in the context of the 7th Framework Programme that is still ongoing and will terminate at the end of 2012. The project is intended to increase the sustainability and the efficiency of urban delivery of goods through an adaptive and integrated mission management and innovative vehicle solutions. Three partners of the CityLog consortium were in charge of the design and realization of a new container concept which had to be adapted to the associated innovative vehicles solutions for load units´ handling operation.
