Abstract
The objective of the thesis is to implement consolidation and collaboration

between stakeholders in a local supply chain to improve the economic, social and

environmental sustainability aspects of city logistics. The following research

question has been developed:

“How can consolidation and collaboration between stakeholders in a local supply

chain improve the economic, social and environmental sustainability of city

logistics?”

A case study has been used as our research strategy since we are investigating a

limited geographical area. The study has mainly a deductive approach

emphasizing quantification in the collection and analysis of data. Data was

obtained through questionnaire distributed to the retailers and transporters

operating in the area, and is secondary data provided to us from researchers in

Rogaland Fylkeskommune.

Our main focus have been to prove the benefits of having all actors involved when

implementing new initiatives within city logistics, emphasizing the economic,

social and environmental aspect. The developed research models contributes to all

three aspect, and reduced impact from freight vehicles were obtained from both.

Focusing on consolidation and collaboration in city logistics measures has lead to

the decrease of traffic congestion, proven by the reduction in annual deliveries of

27 000. The delivery time for the average transporter have been reduced through

consolidating the goods by using a local consolidation centre. Through replacing

the 102 ordinary freight vehicles with diesel motors with electric vehicles, an

average reduction of 61 kilograms NO2 per year can be expected.
