The document discusses the concept of the Physical Internet and its role in achieving climate neutrality in logistics and supply chains by 2050. Key points include: - The Physical Internet proposes fully consolidated and pooled logistics flows across independent networks to improve efficiency. - Achieving the goals will require horizontal collaboration between companies, developing technologies for interconnected logistics networks, and coordinating global supply networks. - Challenges include improving asset utilization, empty backhauls, storage/transhipment, last mile deliveries, and road transport inefficiencies.

6. In response to the Paris Agreement, more and more governments, associations,
and businesses are setting bold climate targets.
Within these goals, the ambition of the European Union is to become a climate
neutral continent by 2050, thus being the first in the world to achieve this.
To achieve this, a series of plans and actions have been created, which in terms
of logistics have resulted in the European project related to the physical Internet.

7. The PI builds on the extensive and systemic consolidation of flows and the network of networks
concepts. The Physical Internet proposes a full consolidation of logistics flows from independent
shippers (e.g. extended pooling and shared networks).

PHYSICAL INTERNET: DEFINITION

8. The Physical Internet is probably the most ambitious concept towards efficiency and sustainability in
transport logistics. It stands for a far-reaching transition of freight transport and logistics so assets
and resources can be used in a much more efficient way.
Additionally, and to deliver customer value, the Physical Internet proposes to pool resources and
assets in open, connected, and shared networks (i.e. connecting existing (company) networks,
capabilities and resources) so they can be used seamlessly by network users and partners.

oversized packaging
Available transport capacity
A quarter of all road
journey legs run unloaded.
Return flows
Often inefficient due to
seasonality in products
and markets.
Storage and distribution
facilities
Transshipment between
modes is neither time nor cost
efficient
Operational inefficiencies
Around 40% of the transport
costs incurred by a product
are accrued in the last mile
Last-mile delivery
logistics
Is dominant despite
environmental impacts although
drivers are in short supply.
Road transport
Creating a Physical Internet would help
overcome the following challenges:

10. The European Union, through the
SENSE Project, developed a roadmap
to achieve these objectives. It should
be remembered that the final goal is to
be a climate neutral continent in 2050.
This roadmap is divided into blocks of
years and five lines of action.

12. Therefore, the logistics of the future, from global to urban, will be based on an open global system
that allows assets and resources to be interconnected in logistics networks, facilitating their use to
maximum capacity and productivity, while increasing agility and the resilience of supply chains.
We call this vision the Physical Internet (PI) and it will support the
affordable transition of assets to zero-emission logistics.

15. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION involves the implementation of new technologies in all areas of a
company to improve efficiency. This implies that digital transformation in logistics represents the
integration of new digital capabilities in areas such as storage, order preparation or transportation,
among others, and integration with the different actors involved in the entire process.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Two out of three organizations surveyed
in the 2022 MHI Annual Industry
Report, plan to spend more than $1
million in the next two years in the
digitalization of the supply chain.

16. Technology aims to achieve automated and
intelligent management of a company's
documentation, the organization of its
procedures or workflows, among others.

17. DIGITAL TWINS
It is possible to test the
operation of the new
organization, in a
digital environment,
before changing the
way it operates in
reality.
ROBOTICS
In intralogistics
operations, machines
and automatic systems
coexist with operators in
the execution of their
tasks
IoT
Examples of this are RFID
tags and
motion detectors
integrated into automatic
systems.
CLOUD
It allows you to reduce
the initial investment,
increase the security
of your data and be
able to access it at
any time.
IA
Artificial intelligence has
made massive data
analysis possible in
different areas of the
supply chain

18. ZERO EMISSIONS 2050
"In order to prevent the worst climate
damages, global net human-caused
emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) need
to fall by about 45 percent from 2010
levels by 2030, reaching net zero
around 2050" (netzeroclimate.org)
How do we achieve this through logistics?

19. How logistics will lead us to the ZERO
EMISSIONS goal?
The ALICE platform proposes to achieve
these changes through PHYSICAL
INTERNET that will support the
affordable transition of assets towards
zero-emission logistics

21. Global Supply Network Coordination and
Collaboratrion
Collaboration between companies in
the same sector and often even
competing companies
Horizontal
Collaboration
Integration throughout the entire
supply chain from origin to
customer
Vertical
Collaboration

22. Urban Logistics
If something has changed in recent
years and has endangered low
emissions models, it has been the
exponential increase in urban logistics
due to fast and highly atomized
delivery models.

23. Urban Logistics
Advanced analysis models of routes
and predictive demand models
allow companies to anticipate
market demands with their
logistics models. The use of the last mile
will be much more
sustainable and
integrated within
urban mobility systems.

24. Systems & Technologies for Interconnected
Logistics
To ensure the correct work of the communication
in the logistics chains, interoperable networks
must be available between them and allow
complete visibility of the data and therefore of the
product throughout the entire logistics chain.
This challenge will require technological solutions
such as blockchain t, as well as cybersecurity to
prevent data leaks outside the network itself.

We can only face

from a global
perspective
It’s not a concept
of the economic
integrity of each
country, but
rather a concept
of economies of
scale.
Major strategic
and structural
decisions must
be made by all
parties involved
The technological
tools are already
available, but their
degree of
adoption is still
not high enough

A recent trend in supply chain management, called horizontal collaboration, sees companies
join forces to perform their distribution jointly
The principle behind this trend is straightforward: companies can achieve higher efficiency
levels by forming a coalition and carrying out a joint operational plan
