AB The total amount of kilometres travelled by freight vehicles is expected to triple between2018 and 2050. Today, 64% of all the trips happen within urban environments. There is,hence, a need for organizing the mobility and the urban freight distribution in a moresustainable way.E-commerce has taken more relevance in the last years and an important increase of thistype of consumption is expected. E-commerce has compelled to modify supply chainstrategies and the management of platform distributions. Urban areas, especially oldquarters and pedestrian streets are not the best scenarios for deliveries. Streets are narrowand congested, with insufficient space for loading and unloading manoeuvres. The ecommerceis worsening this situation.One of the possible solutions that have emerged in the last years is the micro consolidationcentre, a transhipment point where logistic operators store their goods and transfer themthrough more environmentally-friendly and smaller vehicles such as cargo bikes, for lastmile distribution.This paper presents the study case of the micro distribution in “Ciutat Vella” quarter(Barcelona) and surroundings. This micro consolidation centre, part of H2020 project,GrowSmarter, is in the oldest and most touristic part of the city, with plenty of narrowstreets, and the delivery is made by cargo bikes. During the months from January 2017 toMarch 2019, where the study case took place, the main key performance indicators of theinitiative were tracked and analysed. The results of the analysis showed a reduction of thetotal number of vehicle kilometres, the amount of CO2 emissions, energy and noise levelscompared to using conventional vans for the last mile distribution.Besides these direct results, the experience of this case study allows to establish someconclusions and policy recommendations for retailers and city planners in order toimplement these types of measures.
