A new initiative, VitalNodes, has been launched, aiming to enable efficient, sustainable freight delivery across the TEN-T urban nodes, by bringing together existing European, national and regional networks. The project is funded by the Horizon 2020 Programme, and will run for 24 months. The consortium is led by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment, and has 10 partners including transport administrations, city networks, corridor organizations and project consultancies.
The initiative will deliver evidence-based recommendations for effective and sustainable integration of the nodes into the TEN-T network corridors, addressing specifically the multi- and intermodal connection between long-distance and last-mile freight logistics. It will also support the deployment of innovations in the urban nodes, while establishing a long-lasting European expert network.
