| Abstract: | City logistics is subject to constant development, generated by new logistics trends and
high customers’ expectations. With the aim of creating an effective, acceptable, and sustainable city
logistics policy, it is therefore essential to understand logistics trends and their expected impact on
the development of urban freight transport in the future. In this paper, we explore and compare the
expectations of public authorities, business, and academia regarding the short-, medium-, and longterm impacts of different logistics trends on urban logistics. Following a literature review, the expert
survey was used to assess the expected impact and time horizon. According to the respondents,
“e-commerce”, “automated vehicles”, “electric vehicles”, “grey power logistics”, “omni-channel
logistics”, and the “desire for speed” will have the greatest impact on urban freight transport in
the future. An interesting observation concerns some differences of opinion between public and
private stakeholders. In general, the business community believes that the identified trends will have
a greater impact on urban logistics in a shorter period of time, while public authorities believe that
the mentioned trends will have a less strong impact on urban logistics in a longer time scale. This
shows the need for more active collaboration between them in the policy-making process. |
