Examining the impact of the deployment of low emission zones in Europe on the technological readiness of road freight transport
Abstract The paper deals with the influence of introducing low emission zones in Europe for technological readiness of road freight transport in the European area. There are efforts on the part of several cities in Europe to introduce regulatory measures for transport, in particular regarding the reduction of exhaust emissions and noise emissions. The current commercial vehicle market offers some solutions reflecting regulatory measures for cities to contribute to meeting global targets to reduce emissions from transport. In the Central European space, however, fleets of carriers operating distribution services are often unprepared for the introduction of regulatory measures in the sense of sustainable mobility requirements. The paper will be published research outputs or vehicle composition currently used in urban logistics supply and city centers is ready for regulatory action.
