On 17 September 2025, the TRACE project was presented at the European Mobility Week event hosted by the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering and Architecture (FGPA) at the University of Maribor. The event brought together over 350 participants, including students, academics, industry professionals, and local stakeholders, to explore innovative solutions for sustainable urban mobility.

Representatives from Pošta Slovenije, in collaboration with the University of Maribor, introduced the Slovenian TRACE pilot, which focuses on optimizing urban logistics through digitalization and collaboration. The pilot will test the TRACE platform in real-life conditions, involving two consolidation centers and two logistics service providers – Pošta Slovenije and BTC Logistics.

The initiative aims to transform last-mile delivery by integrating advanced technologies such as electric vehicles, delivery robots, and drones, while promoting cooperation between logistics providers. These innovations are expected to significantly reduce emissions and traffic congestion while improving logistics efficiency across urban areas.

Participation in the European Mobility Week offered an ideal platform to showcase TRACE’s contribution to sustainable logistics and smart city development. The presentation highlighted how the TRACE platform supports the optimization of heterogeneous logistics operations, enabling data-driven decision-making and real-time coordination among different actors in the supply chain.

Audience feedback was highly positive, emphasizing the importance of TRACE in achieving greener, more efficient, and collaborative logistics networks. The session strengthened TRACE’s visibility among stakeholders and reinforced Slovenia’s active role in shaping the future of sustainable urban logistics.
