3. Sustainable Urban Logistics Meets Digital Innovation: Insights from SuCoLo's Leipzig Pilot
The Logistics Living Lab (LLL) at the University of Leipzig is a key innovation hub for logistics and IT in Saxony, bringing together science, SMEs, public administration, and politics in a collaborative real-world innovation environment in Leipzig’s historic city centre. Within the EU project “SuCoLo,” the LLL is part of an international consortium with partners from Salzburg (Austria), Uppsala (Sweden), and Merano (Italy), jointly shaping the future of sustainable and collaborative urban logistics in Europe. As part of the Leipzig pilot, the LLL operates a real-world laboratory focused on bicycle logistics in peri-urban areas. Here, research is directly translated into practice - most notably through software prototypes for bicycle courier route optimisation and micro-hub location simulation, both tested under real-world conditions.
