The European sustainable mobility landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as cities and regions across the continent seek to reconcile increasing demands for efficient logistics with ambitious climate and liveability goals. Two cutting-edge initiatives — the UNCHAIN project, funded under the EU’s Horizon programme, and the MoLo Hubs project, supported through the Interreg North Sea Region programme — have each advanced innovation in urban logistics and mobility. Although they operate under different funding frameworks and regional priorities, their core missions converge on enabling sustainable, people-centred urban systems.
UNCHAIN is a Horizon Europe project enabling seamless cooperation between public authorities and logistics stakeholders. UNCHAIN has developed a suite of data-driven services designed to optimise logistics operations. The services developed aim to optimise urban operations, plan for smart cities, and move towards climate-neutrality. MoLo Hubs, operating within the Interreg North Sea Region, has taken a complementary but distinct approach, integrating logistics and shared mobility services into urban mobility hubs to reduce commercial traffic and make shared mobility more attractive and functional.
Amongst other tools, UNCHAIN develops a monitoring tool that, in real-time, monitors the occupancy status of parking spaces and regulates their use to avoid potential abuse, or tools that support the decision on the most appropriate location for new distribution and consolidation centres. A detailed presentation will be held on the FELU guidebook, a useful tool for planners for the Freight Efficient Land Use process. These Digital tools and services can be used in the planning stage of Mobility Hubs proposed by the MoLo Hubs project, supporting the optimisation of their land-use allocation and the efficiency of their operations.
This session will bring together MoLo Hubs and UNCHAIN to explore complementarities between physical urban logistics solutions and data-driven planning approaches. By combining these perspectives, the session will enable a discussion on how local pilots can inform wider urban freight strategies and how planning tools can support the scaling and replication of hub-based logistics solutions across European cities

Gareth Evans is Director of Strategy & Business Development (EMEA) at HAAS Alert, responsible for scaling Safety Cloud® across Europe. Safety Cloud is a real-time digital alerting platform that ingests live data from emergency fleets, road operators and connected systems, then distributes trusted safety messages into vehicles and navigation experiences, giving drivers earlier warning to slow down and move over around incidents, responders and work zones.
Gareth brings deep experience in connected-vehicle data leadership spanning commercialisation, partnerships, and the deployment of data services across OEM and public-sector ecosystems. He has worked with government agencies and industry partners to establish new approaches to sourcing and operationalising vehicle-derived data for safety and mobility use cases, with a consistent focus on governance, interoperability and measurable outcomes.
In his current role, Gareth works with road authorities, emergency services, fleet operators and ecosystem partners to move beyond “pilot culture” and deliver services at scale across jurisdictions, vehicle platforms and operational environments. He contributes to European conversations across V2X, CCAM and Data for Road Safety, bringing a deployment-first perspective: what reaches drivers, what reduces risk on the roadside, and what it takes to deliver trusted services that work nationally and cross-border quickly, safely and at scale

DATO SRI ALEXANDER NANTA LINGGI
Minister of Works, Malaysia | Chair of ITS Council Malaysia | Member of Parliament for Kapit (P.215)
Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi is the Minister of Works Malaysia, appointed in December 2022, and a five-term Member of Parliament for Kapit, Sarawak. He currently serves as Chair of ITS Council Malaysia, leading the national agenda in advancing Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) as a core pillar of Malaysia’s smart mobility and digital infrastructure transformation. With a background in Business Administration from the UK, he brings reform-oriented leadership, strategic governance, and strong institutional experience to public service.
As Minister of Works, he has been instrumental in transforming Malaysia’s infrastructure governance through digitalisation, transparency, and public participation. Under his stewardship, ITS has been repositioned as a strategic enabler for safer, smarter, and more efficient transport networks. As Chair of the ITS Council Malaysia, he drives cross-agency coordination, policy alignment, and industry collaboration to accelerate the implementation of smart traffic management systems, real-time data integration, highway monitoring technologies, and interoperable tolling frameworks.
He has championed the integration of digital technologies within road asset management, strengthening the Road Asset Management System (RAMS) with analytics-driven decision-making to improve lifecycle costing and predictive maintenance. His leadership also emphasises the harmonisation of ITS deployment across federal roads and expressways, ensuring greater efficiency in traffic flow, incident response, enforcement systems, and public safety.
A strong advocate of public-centric innovation, his landmark initiative—the MYJalan Campaign—transformed public complaints into a structured digital reporting ecosystem for road maintenance. The initiative, now institutionalised as a full-fledged programme, empowers citizens, enhances inter-agency coordination, and fosters accountability in infrastructure management. The success of MYJalan was highlighted globally at the 27th World Road Congress in Prague, affirming Malaysia’s innovative and technology-driven approach to infrastructure responsiveness.
In advancing ITS nationally, he also promotes partnerships with industry players, academia, and state governments to support Malaysia’s ITS Roadmap 2030, encouraging data governance standards, digital infrastructure resilience, and sustainable mobility solutions aligned with the Madani Government’s aspirations. His reform efforts also include improving procurement transparency, reducing project delays (Extension of Time or EOT), and enhancing cost efficiency through technology-enabled monitoring systems.
In addition to his federal duties, he serves as the Secretary-General of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) and its coalition Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), advocating for Sarawak’s infrastructure development, digital connectivity, and equitable resource allocation in line with the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).
