MARQ - Mobility Applied Research Quarter tackles logistics challenges
A concrete example of a public-private partnership is the project with longer lorries. Martijn Stamm: ‘We have just received an assignment to further improve the sustainability of Super EcoCombis, lorry combinations that can carry more cargo due to their extra length. I would be very pleased if we could implement innovations that help with the labour shortage and traffic flow in the transport sector.’
