CRES Promotes Green Logistics and Electromobility in the Mediterranean Urban Landscape
CRES (Centre for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving), a leading force in advancing sustainable urban development and green infrastructure in the Mediterranean region, continues to actively support the GARDEN project through targeted dissemination activities. These efforts aim to raise awareness, build networks, and support local and national initiatives that integrate nature-based solutions and environmentally responsible practices.
Engaging Key Stakeholders: Meeting with the Hellenic Confederation of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (ESEE/HECC)
In this context, CRES held a productive meeting with the General Director of the Hellenic Confederation of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (ESEE/HECC), the national umbrella organization representing the Greek trade sector. The discussion centered on the growing importance of electromobility in the transport and distribution of agri-food products—an area critical to the development of sustainable urban logistics.
Showcasing Innovation:
The Heraklion Pilot
CRES also presented its pilot initiative in the Central Market (Agora) of Heraklion, Crete, where an electric vehicle will be used for the internal distribution of goods. This real-world example demonstrates how green mobility solutions can reduce emissions, minimize noise pollution, and enhance the sustainability of supply chains in densely populated urban areas.
Laying the Groundwork for Broader Collaboration
The meeting with HECC established a valuable platform for future collaboration, encouraging dialogue on how public policy and business strategies can jointly promote the adoption of electric vehicles—particularly in the tertiary sector, including food marketing and retail distribution. These efforts are fully aligned with GARDEN’s mission to integrate sustainable, low-emission solutions into Mediterranean urban systems.
