Solutions de mobilité urbaine à Cologne

Cologne anchors the western Rhine-Ruhr corridor — NRW's largest metro area and Germany's fastest-growing distribution hub for FMCG, media, and chemical sectors. The Rhine port at Niehl handles 4 million tonnes of freight annually, and Cologne-Bonn Airport's cargo terminal serves the pharmaceutical cold chain supply network for the chemical cluster east of the city.

The city's Umweltzone has been progressively tightened over three revision cycles, now requiring Euro 6 for diesel vehicles across the inner ring. Cologne's Karneval season (72 hours of continuous street closures in the Altstadt and Deutz districts) requires advance routing and stock pre-positioning that manual planning cannot execute in time. With 8Move, operators can automate the pre-positioning workflow and ensure deliveries are planned around Karneval closures days in advance.
