The aim of this programme is to make construction logistics more sustainable and cleaner, thus contributing to the reduction of nitrogen and CO2 emissions in the construction sector. The Mobile Tools and Construction Logistics programme is part of the Knowledge, Scaling-up and Practical Experience programme Emission-free Construction, which is part of the overarching roadmap Clean and Emission-free Construction (SEB). In the implementation programme of the Top Sector Logistics, companies, knowledge institutes and governments work intensively together on innovations for efficient and emission-free building logistics. This is done through research, knowledge and tool development and upscaling.

Within this programme, companies, knowledge institutions and governments work together on the following themes and topics:

Emissions, electrification and energy logistics

  • Predicting, measuring and monitoring emissions

  • Deployment of nitrogen/emissions footprinting

  • Effects of deploying ZE equipment

  • Energy logistics on the ZE construction site

  • Area-based approach and the role of government

Assembly, logistics and supply chain management

  • Impact of dominant construction modes on logistics

  • Digitisation and data integration in the (precast) construction logistics chain

  • Accessibility of data and information logistics

  • Application and scaling up deployment of construction hubs

  • Chain governance for effective precast construction logistics

Circular construction and infra logistics

  • Integration of circular building concepts and logistics

  • Availability of materials flows and information logistics

  • Transition circular chains in construction

  • Scaling circular building chains

Human Capital

  • Uncovering practical knowledge and experience Living Labs

  • Training and education programme Construction Logistics

  • Future skills in construction logistics

  • Future skills in construction logistics

  • Knowledge base on Clean and Emission-free Construction / Construction Logistics

The results from the research and innovation projects will be rolled out in the coming years with maximum impact on nitrogen and CO2 reduction on the construction site and in the construction chain. In addition, these provide a look ahead to potential reductions up to 2030.
