Sustainable Last- Mile delivery - Last-mile logistics in urban areas: challenges
4 important questions on Sustainable Last- Mile delivery - Last-mile logistics in urban areas: challenges
What major issues in last mile (urban) logistics do any type of transport have? What are the consequences?
• Energy use
• Environment (air quality)
• Safety
• Disturbance – noise, visual intrusion
• Access restrictions and narrow roads
• Lack of loading and unloading space
• Low emission zones in city centers
Consequences:
• Complex coordination and planning
• Trade-offs between priorities of different stakeholder groups

• Attended deliveries (made within specified time slots)
• Unattended delivery (made at anytime)
• “Ping-pong” effects
Consequences:
• Needless costs
• Harmful environmental effects
• Delivery with tight due times present much greater environmental footprint than planned deliveries
Why are (un)attended deliveries more difficult for LSP's?
