Qonnected Logistics and City Hub Join Forces for Sustainable Urban Logistics news and press 6 days ago 2 min read Qonnected Logistics and City Hub Join Forces for Sustainable Urban Logistics Rotterdam, May 8, 2025 – Qonnected Logistics and City Hub are entering a strategic partnership to make urban logistics more efficient and sustainable. Through smart technology, data analysis, and shared infrastructure, both parties aim to reduce emissions and ease traffic congestion in cities. This collaboration addresses urban growth, the introduction of zero-emission zones, and the need to reduce urban traffic. The focus is on joint software platforms, route optimization, and sharing equipment and locations. Together, Qonnected Logistics and City Hub form the only organisation in the world with a nationwide network comprising 14 Qonnected Logistics construction hubs and 8 urban logistics City Hub locations. Over the next four years, Qonnected Logistics will also develop a chain of new joint urban logistics and construction hubs in the Netherlands, in which City Hub will also participate. “We expect up to a 73% reduction in construction traffic within cities,” says Pieter Vermeer, CEO of Qonnected Logistics, “and possibly a 50% reduction in construction logistics traffic to the hubs.” Karel Hoeben, CEO of City Hub, adds: “Together we amplify our impact and accelerate the transition to livable cities through sustainable urban distribution.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ About Qonnected Logistics Qonnected Logistics is the developer of the Q-platform: an independent IT system for sustainable urban logistics, integrated into the full supply chain and combined with a network of 14 physical construction hubs on the outskirts of cities. Here, construction materials are stored, bundled, and delivered just-in-time using electric trucks. Qonnected also provides daily shuttle services for construction personnel. ​ ​ ​ ​ About City Hub Since 2015, City Hub has offered smart, green urban logistics through white-label hubs on the outskirts of cities. Using the Keana software platform, goods are bundled and delivered emission-free via a national network of local urban couriers or its own emission-free transport.
