The COST 321 Action was prompted by an increasing awareness of the environmental concerns in cities in particular with regard to the fact that delivery trucks account for a substantial part of pollution and noise. Since trucks are indispensable for goods transport in cities, the need to find measures of improving the situation and to assess the effects from these became obvious. Therefore twelve European countries signed the COST 321 Action. Its aim was to study the design and operation of innovative measures to improve the environmental performance of freight transport in urban areas. It examines the reduction of air pollution, noise and energy consumption by optimizing the use of trucks in city traffic through the application of modern logistical devices and appropriate administrative measures. Economic effects are also taken into account.
