Micro and midi hubs last mile deliveries
Type of solution: Optimizing a terminal
Node: Vienna
Vienna is looking for possibilities to develop micro hubs (100 – 150 m2) and midi hubs (1,000 m2) in the city. Perhaps Vienna’s main terminals Wien-Süd and Hafen Freudenau offer opportunities for connecting long-distance and last-mile freight logistics. At the moment it is easier to find locations for the smaller micro hubs than for midi hubs, as empty shop space can be transformed into micro hubs. Rail access to midi hubs is much more difficult and expensive to realize so the choice was made for trucks delivery in order to get a realistic business case. Besides, in brownfield development a combination of housing, work and micro/midi hubs will
