LAST MILE INTERMODAL CONTAINER

Zugbox Ltd是一家集装箱租赁公司，为最后一英里交付的铁路集装箱物流开发了一个净零工程解决方案，可以将CO2 E减少82%，并提高净零交付车队的效率。它与试点客户Russell Logistics合作，与设计团队一起探索优化其创新的净零设计。我们的想法非常具有创新性，因为：* Zugboxes的独特之处在于它们可以从铁路货运转移到小型车辆（3.5吨以上）。* Zugboxes提供了第一个真正的门到门交付系统，无缝转移到较小的车辆上进行最后一英里的交付。Zugboxes整合了可持续交付的替代方案，包括机器人，自行车快递和步行交付。我们建议使用这个项目来改善我们的工程设计，使用三步以人为本的设计（HCD）过程（灵感，构思和实施）。我们希望利用这个项目来探索以下内容：* 设计和创新的机会，如何在他们的环境中使用集装箱-例如，他们如何装载和卸载，以及如何设计过程可以改善这一点;* 集装箱如何与其他交通方式对接-例如客运站;货运自行车;* 我们产品的设计生命周期以及如何优化设计生命周期，以改善我们的环境足迹并延长产品寿命，而不仅仅是主要设计功能。设计团队包括领先的设计顾问和CGI & 3D建模师。项目成果将包括：* 优化的应用设计概念设计分析和设计优化设计模型

Zugbox Ltd is a container rental company and has developed a net zero engineering solution for rail based container logistics for last mile delivery which can reduce CO2E by 82% and improve the efficiency of net zero delivery vehicle fleets. It has partnered with its pilot customer Russell Logistics to work with a design team to explore optimising its innovative net zero design.Our idea is highly innovative because:* Zugboxes are unique in that they can be transferred from rail freight to small vehicles (3.5t upwards).* Zugboxes provide the first true door-to-door delivery system, transferring seamlessly to smaller vehicles for last mile delivery.* Zugboxes integrate with sustainable delivery alternatives including robots, bicycle couriers and on-foot delivery.We are proposing to use this project to improve our engineering design using the three step Human Centred Design (HCD) process (Inspiration, Ideation & Implementation).We want to use this project to explore the following:* Design and innovation opportunities in how the containers will be used in their environments - eg how they are loaded and unloaded and how the design process can improve this;* How the containers interface with other modes of transport - eg passenger stations; cargo bikes;* The design lifecycle of our product and how this can be optimised to improve our environmental footprint and extend product life beyond the primary design function.The design team includes leading design consultants and CGI & 3d modellers.Project outputs will consist:* Optimised design concepts for applicationsLifecycle analysis and design optimisation Design mockups
