River Thames, Bristol and London Freight Proposals

Over January to March 2024, I wrote three grant proposals:

  1. A River Thames electric vessel freight proposal to reduce freight congestion in central London through the use of autonomous electric vessels moving cargo from Tilbury docks into the city via TfL docks. In partnership with PLA, TfL, Tilbury Docks, Innovate UK.

  2. Micro-logistics hubs in London to increase efficiency and reduce emissions through the use of electric cargo bikes and consolidated deliveries.

  3. Mobile freight hubs in Bristol to increase efficiency and reduce emissions using a hub-and-spoke model of freight movement in the city.
