Hamburg handles daily 40,000 truck journeys in the port area south of the Elbe river, focused on container transport, with additional trucks north of the Elbe serving city logistics, including cruise ship terminals. T-Systems, along with LBSW, HPA, Continental, Swarco, and tec4U, tested digital solutions using 5G to reduce truck traffic emissions as part of the “5G-LOGINNOV” project under Hamburg’s ITS initiative.
20 percent less fuel consumption – the data recorded by “5G-LOGINNOV” clearly show that the use of platoons, GLOSA, and V2I communication based on 5G is making Hamburg and its port more sustainable.
Hamburg is northern Germany’s hub for business, tourism and culture. The City of Hamburg wants to become a showcase for the mobility of tomorrow. The city’s transport institutions want to demonstrate how digitalization can make traffic safer, more efficient, more convenient, and more environmentally friendly.
