Ridding the city of surplus trucks through greener deliveries is the goal of this structure, created in 2018. “It is the pooling of goods on the outskirts of the metropolis and the reconstitution of our routes for distribution in the city center (…) We mainly use natural gas or electric vehicles”, precise Phillippe Culos, deputy director ofUrby Toulouse. An initiative that seems to be very popular in the city.
