3rd Call

The co-operation of logistics in the regions is a strategic resource for reducing the environmental impact of transport and a chance to improve economic development. The central objective of CORELOG is to define and test policies to improve transport systems and to foster economic development. The project addresses the definition and operative testing of regional logistics policies and actions to be co-ordinated between institutional actors responsible for policymaking, financing and investment decisions, and actors related to the transport market, such as manufacturing companies, logistics providers, transport operators, whose supply-chain strategies and decisions strongly affect the spatial pattern and the modal split of freight transport. The main CORELOG objectives are: - Understanding of the “key driving forces” underlying changes in supply-chain management strategies of companies in the CADSES area and their territorial impact on freight flows in the regions; the role and the actions of the different institutional levels (national, regional, local) in the development of transport, industrial and spatial development policies; - Promoting logistics cooperation and integration of operators and companies in local SME systems with an approach that considers transport decisions and the related territorial impact as the final result of companies’ industrial and distribution strategies at European level; - Knowledge sharing on best logistics practices among manufacturers, transport operators and regional authorities; - Developing operative organisational, information and communication technological (ICT) and logistics solutions which are economically sustainable in the long term, as they involve private operators co-operating at regional and transnational level in logistics management.

The project aims at transnational strategic guidelines for regional policymaking and implementation of sustainable freight transport through public-private co-ordination and related checklists for policymaking in transport and logistics, considering actors and needs, impacts and benefits on territories, and critical success factors and partners’ experiences. The project should establish lasting partnerships within regions, between institutional actors and private sector representatives for sharing and monitoring the policies' impact on freight transport. Moreover, pilot solutions dealing with organisational, market and technology interventions will be implemented and feasibility studies for multiplying/full-scale implementation of pilot projects will be conducted. Also the knowledge of operators and manufacturers’ own innovative and sustainable logistics practices will be enhanced.
