Cross River Partnership heralds Smart Electric Urban Logistics project

Cross River Partnership (CRP) has announced the start of its new Innovate UK co-funded Smart Electric Urban Logistics (SEUL) project, together with UPS and UK Power Networks. In a statement issued today (25 April), CRP said: “As the evidence from our FREVUE project (www.frevue.eu) shows, the fully electric trucks UPS currently deploy are well integrated into their fleet and daily operations. UPS now deploy a total of 52 of these vehicles in London but electricity grid infrastructure constraints mean that further expansion of this electric fleet is not possible.

“The new Smart Electric Urban Logistics project will build on this knowledge and deploy 20 additional fully electric trucks from UPS’s Camden depot, but also explore a smart charging alternative to costly and disruptive electricity grid infrastructure upgrades.”

The two-year project official started on 1 April.
