🙌 ZEZ-F give businesses the certainty to invest in clean fleets, while cities benefit from quieter streets & lower emissions.

With 33 European cities planning ZEZ-F before 2030, the Dutch experience offers practical lessons for urban freight decarbonisation.

Early evidence from Dutch zero-emission zones for freight
Freight transport is essential to city life but contributes substantially to emissions, noise and congestion in public space.

🌆 Cities with - or neighbouring - ZEZ-F are seeing faster uptake of electric vans and trucks.

This “spill-over” effect suggests that clear policy can influence broader regional adoption.
cleancitiescampaign.org
📈 By early 2025, 78% of new vans registered in the Netherlands were electric, compared to just 9% across the EU.

The rollout of ZEZs for freight is one likely reason for the surge, alongside supportive fiscal policies.

📣🚛 New analysis! Earlier this year, the Netherlands introduced zero-emission zones for freight in 18 municipalities - the first nationwide programme of its kind.

Early results offer a glimpse into the benefits of ZEZ-F for cities 👇

✨💬We asked parents what they think about #schoolstreets.

Their answers speak of safety, community, freedom for kids, and cities that actually get better.

Every story shows that school streets are not just car-free roads, but places that truly change lives 💗 #StreetsForKids

❗ But the job isn’t done. Other major cities are lagging behind, and UK limits still fall short of World Health Organization guidelines.

If the Mayor hadn’t pushed ahead, we’d be waiting over a century to reach this point 😲

London has leapfrogged other UK cities and is showing what’s possible with determination, even in the face of Government opposition.

🙌 Big win for London’s air!

London is now legally compliant for NO₂ - proof that bold leadership and ambitious clean air policies work. When politicians act, our air gets cleaner and our health improves.

🏙️ La Poste Groupe operates 37,000 EVs and 15,000 e-bikes. It uses urban logistics hubs to reduce traffic and optimise city deliveries, aiming for 100% zero- and low-emission deliveries in 350 cities.

🚛 Lidl Austria is rolling out fully electric trucks for regional and long-haul deliveries. The fleet is powered by renewable energy and is expected to save around 15,000 tons of CO₂ annually.

📦 In Belgium, bpost has created “ecozones” where all parcels and letters are delivered by e-van, bike, or on foot. Microhubs and local parcel lockers help cut emissions by 97%.

Europe is reimagining the last mile 🚚⚡

Ambitious climate goals, strong regulations, and local demand for clean air are driving a shift towards electrified delivery and smarter freight systems.

📈 Cargo bike use in London has doubled over two years!

🚲 A win for clean air - but diesel vans are the #1 source of NOx in central London.

💡 Authorities must back residents & small businesses with grants and secure storage for cargo bikes to keep momentum rolling.
