in the evenings is possible

• Be as cost-neutral as possible• Consider the internalisation of external costs (air
pollution, impact on climate, noise, accidents, congestion, up-down processes)– Implement in transport cost price in time

Transport: safety on the road
• Courtesy charter • Safety on the road : blind spot cameras • Information programme for schools on blind
spot problem • We joined the European Road Safety Charter

• We joined the European Road Safety Charter • Deliveries at night or in the evening
Transport: alternative fuel
• Step 1: reduce fuel consumption– Each driver follows a pro-active driving
course
• Tests with CNG and LNG– Insufficient infrastructure– No legal frame
