ZED, the first logistics model/project really at Zero Emissions (CO2=0) and economically sustainable,where the energy comes from renewable...

1. ZED – ZERO EMISSIONS DISTRIBUTION
A NEW LOGISTICS CO2 = 0

2. “ Implement a new logistics model at zero emissions (CO2),
with a break-even energy balance and economic savings
prospects for the distribution of FMCG (beverage), within
large metropolitan areas and Limited Traffic Zones of
Rome through the integrated use of renewable energy
sources and innovative technologies …”

4. It has been estimated that the impact of transport of
goods accounts for more than 8% of global CO2 emissions.
In the area of road transport,
the amount of energy used to
transport goods is growing at a
rate greater than that of cars
and buses, and in the European
Union could overtake it by
2020.
Freight movement could represent 15-30% of total CO2
emissions in 2050, even accounting for the improvement of
energy efficiency * . * Kahn Ribeiro, Kobayashi, McKinnon 2010

5. In the historic inner-city area of Rome 25.000 vehicles are
operating daily; 60% of those vehicles (15.000) generate 35.000
loading/unloading activities, while the remaining 40% cross the
inner-city area without stopping*. The 99.5% of the vehicles are
not environmentally friendly...one of major cause of air pollution
in Rome... *Valeri e Stathopoulos 2010

6. To Certify ZED project as the best logistics
solution for distribution in the LTZ* within the
environmental and eco-sustainable field (CO2=0);
To Develop repeatable/reproducible ZED projects;
To Reach a BEP (break-even point) < 5 years;
To Achieve operative costs savings, compared to
the “traditional logistics model” of 10-15%.
* LTZ = Limited Traffic Zone

7. Deliver more than 1.000 shipments per day in the LTZ
zones of Rome by a warehouse located at 15 km from the
city center.
The warehouse will be covered by 3.000 square meters of
photovoltaic panels and it will supply energy (DC) to 15
electric vehicles and to some fast-charging towers.
The electric vehicles (initially) will have a payload of 2.0 t,
an autonomy at least 120 km and the possibility to exceed
slopes greater than 20%...
Electric vehicles will deliver in the LTZ even 2 times x day.

8. HUBs and TPs powered by
photovoltaic energy panels:
recovery/energy savings with
the elimination of losses due to
the absorption of the inverters
in double conversion between
direct and alternating current
(DC –AC) and vice versa for
battery recharging

11. October 31st 2013 L.E.Z. winner of the national call
“Smart Cities & Communities” as eligible project for
public financing (MIUR - Ministry of Education University
and Research / D.D. 391 – July 5th 2012);

“Logistica sostenibile: un’occasione di sviluppo &
innovazione “ as highly innovative green project (Franco
Angeli, authors: Giulio Aguiari, Renzo Provedel -
ISBN: 9788820428181)
2013-2014 L.E.Z. recognized and rewarded in various
conferences/workshops as the best Italian innovative
logistics project.

12. The company Mancinelli was born in
the 60s, with the first business of
fertilizers for the agricultural sector.
Today, the company,
with the arrival of
Arturo and Adriano
Mancinelli has turned
into a holding
company specializing
in logistics for FMCG.
MANCINELLI recently joined the international platform
EcoVadis, international leader in the field for evaluation,
monitoring and certification of supply chain overall, with the
aim of improving environmental policies and improve their
sustainability performance.

14. BIP – Best Ideas &
Projects is a Scientific
Association (50
experts), which
intends to take the
point of discussion,
design and
dissemination
between universities,
research
organizations,
institutions and
companies.
BIP wants to promote, the principle
of sustainable development in its
three basic components:
environmental, economic and social.
BIP is specialized in design and
implementation of Green Logistics

16. The implementation of the ZED project entails a reduction in
CO2 emission the effect of which corresponds to a
reforestation of about 205 hectares (to be confirmed)
