Nesterova, N. (author), Quak, H. (author)The field of city logistics can be characterized by its many local demonstrations and trials, that are quite often not lasting longer than the trial period. The number of demonstrations that continued and were implemented in daily practice is limited. Freight partnerships proved to be a good first step to engage stakeholders. This contribution...conference paper 2016

de Vos-Effting, S.E. (author), Smal, L. (author)Duurzaamheid, of lage milieubelasting, kan in EMVI aanbestedingen gewaardeerd worden. Er zijn de afgelopen 20 jaar normen, databases en tools gemaakt, waarmee de milieubelasting over de levenscyclusanalyse bepaald kan worden. DuboCalc is zo’n mooi instrument om milieubelasting te beoordelen. Toepassing van DuboCalc in EMVI is een stap vooruit...conference paper 2016
