By 2025, 3 out of 5
people will live in cities
globally
By 2025, each person
will have a minimum of
five connected devices
By 2025, 20% of retail
will happen through
online channels
By 2025, globally over
$800 billion will be
spent on high speed rail
projects.
What does this mean for Urban Logistics?
500 million deliveries
per person per day to
cities
‘On-the-fly’ deliveries
will have to made
anywhere, anyhow,
faster and quicker
Demand for urban
parcel deliveries will
increase – shipments to
become smaller and
frequent
An fuel and carbon
efficient alternative to
road and air transport
and muti-modality.

Mega Trend 1 : Urbanisation
Urbanisation Will Compel Logistics Companies To Have More
Spokes in the Cities and Lesser Hubs
The Hubs:
Central Distribution Centres in
the outskirts
Heavy Commercial
Vehicles (double trailer
trucks) will carry goods to
big warehouses at outskirts
Spokes:
Drop off-points for deliveries
in city centres
Medium and Light
CVs will deliver goods
to warehouses within
city
Outer Ring Road
25 miles from City
Centre
80% - 100% load factor
In-night services, Early-
morning deliveries
Reduce the number of
trips by almost half
100% on-time deliveries

In Future, HS Rail will not only offer high speed personal mobility
but will also transport cargo at a lesser fuel and carbon cost
What are the Opportunities?
• Higher Speed Logistics
• Intermodal Logistics
• Next-day delivery between continents
• More fuel-efficient than Air-Road Mix
• Night-time multimodal logistics (e.g. no night time
flight restrictions)
Project Examples:
• Eurocarex – High Speed Freight Train Between
Lyon and London
• Bangalore-Chennai High Speed Freight Train
• China’s Mixed Passenger-Freight High Speed
Trains

How will urban freight transportation change?
Road to remain the dominant mode of urban freight transport. Logistics Related
Transport Will Account For Over 35% Of Urban Freight Traffic
B2C trips will Come to rival the current dominant segment, B2B by 2020
underpinned by growth in ecommerce
Average length of haul will decrease as warehouses and delivery spokesmove
further into cities
100% Loading Factor of Trucks – Full Optimisation
Smaller and more fuel-efficient vehicles will be used within cities which are
seamlessly integrated with multi-modal functionalities (roll on-roll off)

So what will the future of Urban Logistics look like in 2025
1. A minimum of 500 million deliveries per day will be made within cities by 2025.
2. People will volunteer to deliver goods on their way home becoming lifestyle
couriers
3. Access to cities in the future will be guided by Smart Cards and e-Tags
4. Information Driven Logistics will become the norm with providers planning
delivery trips even before orders are placed through predictive analysis and
social media integration
5. Logistics companies will innovate to overcome the future urban challenge
introducing hybrid fleets, consolidated deliveries and locker boxes among others
innovations for cities
6. City planners will reinforce and introduce new policy measures to control vehicle
access, provide economic incentive for sustainable freight deliveries, and invest in
infrastructure such as freight villages
