Coherent Campus Delivery - Pilot Scheme“Newcastle University is embracing Coherent Campus Initiative (est. 2008)

with aim to improve the spaces between buildings to create a sense of

place that is welcoming, with well designed, well linked social spaces”

• Investigation of the application of Delivery Servicing Plans (DSPs) as a freight transport policy focusing on urban-interurban operations.

• Demonstrate and evaluate 100% Electric Delivery vehicles

– Through vehicle telemetry.

• Demonstrate technology through existing supply chains;

– Suppliers to Newcastle University and Deliveries to Campus

• Explore the potential of Delivery Consolidation

– Trial deliveries operations from an Urban consolidation centre (UCC)

University Delivery Consolidation in Partnership with

Overview

• Reduce multiple small trips to Newcastle University Campus.

– Reduce Freight Vehicles by 25%*

– Reduce CO2 by 90tonnes/year*

• Take greater control of inbound logistics and have more control over the vehicles delivering to the Campus.

• Key Actors : – Procurement Department

– Building & Facilities Manager

– Campus Security Team

– ISS SAP Business Development Team

– NewRail Researchers

Concept for University Delivery Consolidation

• SAP Data Analysis & Refinement by identifying Vendors (Suppliers) who made fewer than 4 deliveries in 1month

• Produced a 330 ‘packages’ being delivered a week (average).

• Approximately 17,500 ‘packages/year– Supplier introduction to scheme will be phased

• Initial volumes suggest a daily trip from Clipper - Newcastle University

– Aiming for same day turn around (if received by Clipper before 11:30)

Key Benefits / Outputs

• 25% Fewer freight vehicles on Campus,

– E.g. a reduction of 300/week or 75-80/day.

• A saving on 90 tonnes of Carbon per annum

– Directly expressed as a replacement at vehicle tailpipe

• Potential reduction of accidents on Campus

– To be analysed as part of the pilot
