BESTFACT

BESTFACT - Best Practice Factory for Freight Transport - developed, disseminated and enhanced the utilisation of Best Practices and innovation in freight transport within three thematic clusters: Urban Freight, Green logistics & co-modality, and eFreight.

The project presented a new description of European Best Practice cases, detailed Best Practice surveys, analyses of innovative policy schemes and supported the implementation of Best Practice actions. Within its thematic workshops and Conferences, BESTFACT brought stakeholders together creating synergies within different European initiatives.

The BESTFACT consortium included 18 partners made up of European research institutes, universities, international associations and industry partners. The projects led to the production of a public-oriented knowledge base, conferences and workshops, to promote the best practices that contributed to European transport policy objectives.
