Clusters 2.0. vision is to leverage the full potential of European
Logistics Clusters for an efficient and fully integrated transport
system in Europe making optimal use of an Open Network of Logistics
Clusters and hubs starting with. Zaragoza (PLAZA), Duisburg (Duisport),
Lille (Dourges), Bologna-Trieste (Interporto/port of Trieste), Brussels
(BruCargo), London (Heathrow), Pireaus (PCT), Trelleborg (Port), while
keeping neutral the environmental and local impacts such as congestion,
noise, land use and local pollution levels.
Cluster 2.0 objectives and areas of intervention are:
Increase
the engagement, performance and coordination of terminals and hubs at
cluster level targeting: i) increase by 50% the freight managed in the
cluster whit current infrastructure, ii) Double the value added
activities and iii) increase economic impact in local economies by 5%
yearly while keeping neutral local environmental impacts. Build a hyper
connected network of logistics hubs and clusters targeting: i) increase
average door-to-door vehicle load factor up to 75%, ii) increase
intermodal transport in the network by 40%. Develop low cost, low
capital and investment intensive transhipment enhanced solutions to
reduce operational costs of transhipment by 30 %. Develop prototypes of
New Modular Load Units as enhancers of the above objectives.Develop
terminal management systems to increase management capacity of the
terminals by 20% and reduce associated congestion by 10%. Establish and
run 5 Living Labs (LLs) to test, improve an validate proposed solutions
as well as to and Develop Business Models and Robust Business Plans for
Clusters 2.0 solutions.
