Last Mile Delivery is becoming increasingly popular, but what exactly is it?
This strategy essentially involves cutting the supply chain in two.
More concretely, a "traditional" delivery company will cover most of the distance (by plane, truck, etc.) and drop off the package at a hub at the entrance to the city or inside it. From there, other less bulky vehicles will take over to distribute the goods in a more efficient and agile manner.
In addition to being a key component of customer satisfaction, last-mile delivery is both the most expensive and time-consuming part of the shipping process.
Therefore, the implementation of such strategies allows not only to increase the volume of parcels, speed up deliveries, but also to delight customers, while trying to reduce costs.
Cargo bikes are one of the best ways to meet the needs of such a strategy! But they also help reduce traffic jams, pollution and noise generated by traditional vehicles.
