The aim of the project was to determine possibilities for making freight transport in towns efficient and to reduce the negative effects on the urban environment of this type of road transport. The Danish towns of Vejle and Roskilde were chosen for investigation and comparison. This publication summarizes results reached in the main report of the same title. After a short general summary of the project methods the resulting recommendations are presented in detail in the form of schemes, each presenting a more detailed description of the recommendation, ideas for a possible spreading of the initiative to cover a larger area of freight transport, and some notes on implementation. The effect in each case is illustrated in the form of a graph showing amount of energy saving, reduction in hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and particle emission, and reduction in transport economy and traffic accidents.
