Holistically Optimised Logistics Operations and Green Innovative Solutions for Transport Cargo Sustainably

HOLOGISTICS will pilot and demonstrate innovative open standard logistics solutions and technologies which accelerate freight transport decarbonisation while increasing operational efficiency and flexibility, ensuring logistics networks are cost effective and competitive, taking account of externalities. The project will scale up collaborative solutions for multimodal logistics nodes and networks, enhancing digital and physical interoperability, supported by effective business and governance models, and facilitating increased use of zero emission vehicles and vessels.

This will lead to major reductions in GHG emissions in the logistics networks, supporting the 2030 Climate Target Plan to reduce emissions by 55%. Logistics supply chain performance will be further improved via a Physical Internet approach, synchromodality and models which drive pooling, resource sharing and optimisation of capacity utilisation across modes.

A wide range of processes, procedures and services in multiple logistics nodes and operations across Europe will be implemented, enhancing innovations and technologies developed in previous Horizon projects, and magnifying the benefits of ongoing CEF investments.

These include: AI, IoT, synchromodal logistics algorithms, interoperability using shared standardised boxes/containers, automation and autonomous systems, new business models and solutions for increased use of zero emission transport, semantic models for collaborative data sharing, Digital Twins, advanced simulation and visualisation solutions, resource sharing and pooled logistics models and innovative inventory strategies that enable increased use of greener transport. Open access definition and seamless interaction will be prioritised, enabling all players including SMEs to participate, exploiting the DTLF data sharing framework to ensure scalability and compliance with the ongoing development of the common European mobility data space and achieving TRL 7 by the end of the project.
