Ports close to cities or even embedded within a city increasingly suffer from truck traffic to and from the terminals. Especially container drayage causes high traffic peaks to serve ultra large container vessels. Citizens complain about traffic jams, hazardous emissions and noise, forcing politicians to think about restricting rules and regulations having an impact on port productivity. Sustainable mobility is not at all a new idea; however, applicable technologies to make heavy port traffic more environmentally friendly without losing efficiency are just emerging. Most of the solutions described here are either in their early phase of introduction or currently under consideration. This explains the fact that the topic is a very dynamic one and there is a lack of references to proven applications. As new technologies might finally show deficiencies once deployed and others, not yet considered, may come up, this chapter will certainly require frequent updating during the next few years.
