| Description | Urban Consolidation Centers (UCC) are facilities that seek to reduce freight traffic in a target area by consolidating cargo at a terminal. In theory, carriers that might otherwise make separate trips to the target area with relatively low load factors would instead transfer their loads to a neutral carrier that consolidates the cargo and conducts the last leg of the deliveries. UCCs serve as typical warehouses for the consolidation and bundling of goods and for the organization of last mile deliveries with smaller and cleaner vehicles (e.g. electric micro vans or cargo bikes). |
