It is crucial for citizens to understand the importance of freight vehicles and operations in our cities. As citizens, we generate the need for logistics vehicles and operations. There are many challenges to face, including planning and consumer behaviour, and this course adresses most of them.

The information is given in an enjoyable, interesting, and easy-to-take way. Also, there were examples of the new sustainable logistics solutions that are already implemented into the logistics infrastructure of cities, for example E-highways. This course is amazing! Thanks to the lecturers and EIT Academy! Best regards, Aziza Azamatovna Talaspayeva from Kazakhstan!
