BRT delivers every parcel in the city of Bologna using low-emission vehicles. We have joined forces with major European cities (including Lisbon, Paris and Madrid) in a project using state-of-the-art laser sensors. Our last mile delivery vehicles, along with our fixed stations, measure fine air particles (PM2.5) in real time. In fact, a concrete example comes from the city of Lisbon where the data that emerged allowed the local authorities to create a low emission zone in the heart of the city.
Building on this success, Geopost plans to expand the initiative to more than 20 cities across Europe by 2022. Bologna is one of them. In our view, this is an important example of how responsible local action can contribute to the well-being of cities and their citizens.
