Covid-19 pandemic has set and unfortunately continues to set a new reality for human societies. Inevitably, city logistics and urban road freight transport in general were affected change as well as the decision of many national governments to promote electricity over the old-fashioned internal combustion engines by setting a milestone for this objective by 2030, intensify the necessity of radical and innovative solutions through which urban road freight transport will become sustainable. Although that for many years, many policies, strategies, and measures are implemented world widely, urban road freight transport remains as one of the significant reasons for congestion phenomena and air pollution. It is without question that the local urban road freight transport systems will be examined as part of transportation surveys firstly to identify the current situation and secondly to test possible solutions. In this aspect, the present paper presents the calculation of the passenger equivalent value for commercial vehicles in the city of Thessaloniki based on the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 equations applied on data collected with a recently developed methodology, simpler and without requiring heavy equipment in situ.
