Abstract
This study investigates the perspectives of researchers and business professionals on the Physical Internet (PI) and its application in city logistics. Through a two-part survey involving 83 participants from Europe and the United States, the research explores the perceived key elements for PI's successful implementation, its potential to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of urban logistics operations, and the main challenges to its adoption. The findings reveal a general optimism about PI's potential, with technology, collaboration, and infrastructure identified as critical success factors. However, concerns regarding costs, resistance to change, and technological limitations are also highlighted. The study concludes with suggestions for increasing awareness and fostering cross-sector collaboration to realize PI's full potential in transforming urban logistics.
