It is said that if you want more information about If you have any questions about “business opportunities” in the area of ”smart urban mobility”, contact the Norwegian Innovation Group about this.
In one example in the world of freight transport, Norwegian transportation company Paxster is making its mark. With small, single-driver electric vehicles being seen in various cities. It is used throughout Norway to deliver postage, parcels and food without emitting greenhouse gases.
“By being smaller and more agile, Paxster can deliver nearly twice as many parcels in a day. compared to standard diesel vans.”
But it doesn’t mean that Large delivery vans or trucks will be a thing of the past. This idea alone will help us use the right tools for the job and seriously reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Arild Brudeli, Head of Systems and Innovation at Paxster, also spoke about the enormous environmental impact of the rapid growth of e-commerce. “Between 2014 and 2020, global e-commerce nearly quadrupled. This was before the COVID outbreak. But this growth is not ‘green’ because transport uses fossil fuels. It is therefore imperative that we find solutions to reduce space in last-mile transport.”
Paxster electric vehicles now cover the last mile around the world. “We have just completed work on an initiative with the Norwegian postal service. When we received a call from the postal service in New Zealand We are now in all over the world. It works with both delivery companies and municipal authorities in cities such as London, Berlin and Madrid.”
Oslo is a healthier city thanks to electrification. Although the climate crisis remains the driving force behind urban electrification, But this process immediately had a positive effect on the people of the city.
“Between 2009 and 2019, Oslo saw a 20 percent reduction in CO₂ from the transport sector. And the use of electric buses and electric transportation vehicles is likely to help push this figure up.
Moreover, Portwick says we’ve also seen a huge 30 per cent reduction in air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide. Sulfur oxide and PM2.5 as well.”
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 80 percent of people living in urban areas are exposed to potentially harmful levels of pollution. It causes an increase in stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and chronic and acute respiratory diseases. It is estimated that urban air pollution causes 3.4 million premature deaths every year.
