The SuCoLo research pilots are at the heart of our work to develop and test innovative solutions for sustainable consumption and local logistics. Spread across three distinct regions in Europe, each pilot tackles specific challenges related to urban and rural supply chains, local production, last-mile delivery, and consumer behavior. These pilots act as real-world laboratories where new ideas, technologies, and collaboration models are co-created with local stakeholders—including municipalities, businesses, researchers, and citizens.
By focusing on regional needs and leveraging local strengths, the pilots explore how data-driven tools, digital platforms, and policy innovations can be used to strengthen regional value chains, reduce emissions, and promote sustainable lifestyles. Together, they generate practical insights and transferable knowledge that can inform sustainable urban development and help shape smarter, greener logistics systems across Europe.
This page provides an overview of each pilot, their objectives, the actors involved, and the progress being made. Whether you’re a policymaker, researcher, business, or citizen, the pilots offer valuable inspiration and evidence for building more sustainable local economies.
