Abstract:Emissions from the last mile of delivery can account for up to 50% of total delivery carbon emissions and delivery trucks and vans contribute to congestion and safety issues. Micromobility deliveries offer a sustainable solution for the last-mile delivery challenge. They utilize compact vehicles like cargo bikes, drones, and delivery robots to efficiently transport goods over short distances, filling the gap between distribution centers and final destinations. Micromobility devices can replace or supplement delivery trucks and vans in a range of cases, from urban cores and downtown areas to rural communities.
