This chapter describes the concept of delivery and servicing plans (DSPs) in the context of urban freight transport (UFT). From the review of the state‐of‐art in evaluation for transportation projects, it was possible to highlight the main principles of UFT evaluation and the difficulties to implement it. Four DSP measures evaluated in the EU‐funded Transport And Innovation Logistics by Local Authorities with a Zest for Efficiency and Realization (TRAILBLAZER) project show the impacts of the measures on energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and key findings concerning the evaluation approach. The four European cities which produced and implemented their DSPs are: Eskilstuna (Sweden), Vaxjo (Sweden), Vercelli (Italy) and Zagreb (Croatia). Knowing the usages that can be made from significant and reliable results, for different domains, the evaluation processes are more aware of the necessity and the advantages to set up resources and methodologies from the beginning of such project.
