The SELECT project gathers local and regional authorities together with business support organizations from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. The partners will work to explore prerequisites for supplying electric light and heavy-duty fleets with sufficient power and energy at logistics terminals and public locations, and to explore potential new services enabled by digital solutions, and governance structures needed to support the transition.

As part of the work, the SELECT project partners are exploring the role that public actors have in supporting the electric transition in logistics.

This meeting will be held in Mechelen, Belgium. More information about Mechelen can be found in the documents up top.
