How do we move goods more sustainably? A new focus for transport Cross Party Group

12 August 2025

FacebookTweetEmailLinkedIn

Following a series of inquiries this parliamentary session into traffic reduction, public transport electrification, and inequalities in transport, the Cross-Party Group on Sustainable Transport is turning its attention to a new topic: freight.

Why sustainable freight?

Scotland’s freight system is polluting, inefficient, and often overlooked — but it doesn’t have to be.

The Scottish Parliament’s Cross Party Group on Sustainable Transport is launching a new inquiry on the future of freight, to explore smarter, cleaner, and more efficient ways of moving goods in, around, and out of Scotland.

The series kicks off with a session in Scottish Parliament on last mile deliveries on Wednesday 1 October 2025, 18:00 – 19:30.

This first session will focus on decarbonising last-mile deliveries – a growing source of emissions, congestion, and disruption in towns and cities – and how to deliver local freight systems that work better for both communities and businesses.

We’re delighted to welcome speakers from: Clean Cities Campaign, Royal Mail and Grid Smarter Cities.
