Summary:
Seattle is part of C40’s Zero Emission Area Programme, which aims to restrict fossil fuel vehicles in designated zones to reduce emissions and test zero-emission policies. This project examines the impacts on urban freight and logistics, including EV adoption challenges and emerging strategies such as e-cargo bikes, curb management, and consolidation approaches.
