Our Projects for 2025-26

Despite numerous beneficial programs implemented by public and private stakeholders in the logistics sector, congestion continues to worsen the CSR, economic, and quality performance of urban deliveries. The energy transition and the integration of AI have remained ineffective in addressing the increasing delivery times. This phenomenon leads to a deterioration of the primary cost factor for deliveries—driver time—and the primary quality criterion—punctuality. The only solution is to shift the center of gravity of deliveries within city centers to consolidate supplies during off-peak hours, with or without warehousing. The challenge, therefore, is to utilize urban wastelands, a large portion of which, located underground in our cities, present structural constraints far from logistical standards.

The Cluster team now possesses exclusive technical bricks that overcome the challenges of steeply inclined access ramps, limited ceiling heights, and weak slab resistance. Having translated these technical innovations into processes, the Cluster has developed an open-source business model for logitics operation. The objective: To enable owners of vacant urban land to convince their future tenants—retailers and logistics providers—to invest in these unused square meters for merchandise cross-docking or storage.

Available for purchase or with third-party financing and full-service package (remote management, preventive and corrective maintenance), automated manutention equipments now provide vertical, horizontal and inclined transitics for a fixed budget. An architectural and fire safety engineering service complements the offering when additional systems are required.

A panel of experts in LCA, Circular Economy, CSR transport will also help support territories in adapting and promoting this virtuous model.
