LAST MILE INTERMODAL CONTAINER

Zugbox是一家集装箱租赁公司，为铁路集装箱物流开发了一种零排放工程解决方案，用于最后一英里的交付，可以减少82%的二氧化碳排放量，提高零排放车辆车队的效率。它与试点客户罗素物流合作，与设计团队合作，探索优化其创新的净零设计。我们的想法是非常创新的，因为：* Zugboxes是独一无二的，因为它们可以从铁路货运转移到小型车辆（3.5吨以上）。* Zugboxes提供第一个真正的门到门送货系统，无缝转移到小型车辆的最后一英里送货。* Zugboxes与可持续的递送方式相结合，包括机器人、自行车快递员和步行递送。我们建议使用这个项目来改进我们的工程设计，使用以人为本的设计（HCD）三步流程（灵感，构思和实施）。我们希望利用这个项目来探索以下方面：*集装箱在其环境中如何使用的设计和创新机会-例如，如何装载和卸载以及设计过程如何改进这一点；*货柜如何与其他运输方式（例如客运站）衔接；货物的自行车;*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，并将产品寿命延长到主要设计功能之外。设计团队包括领先的设计顾问和CGI和3d建模。项目产出将包括：*应用程序的优化设计概念、生命周期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
