Traffic congestion
E-commerce leads to more parcel deliveries. And more parcels also mean more delivery people and carriers on the roads. Far from being environmentally friendly, this trend has a very negative impact on traffic. In general, last-mile carrier vehicles are small and often require several round trips to deliver all the planned orders. As a result, they use more fuel and increase greenhouse gases. In urban areas, they will often create traffic jams and traffic problems due to random parking and lack of available spaces.

More vehicles on the advertising database roads also pose a risk to the population. Traffic congestion leads to public health complications. It can increase the risk of road accidents and respiratory diseases for urban populations.

The environmental impact
Strongly correlated with traffic congestion, the environmental impact is being undermined. It is estimated that delivery vehicles are responsible for around 20% of greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas. This is because delivery vehicles travel short distances at low speeds, making them less fuel efficient.


- The use of more fuel-efficient vehicles, such as electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles;

- Pooling of deliveries, in order to reduce the number of delivery vehicles in circulation;

- Using technology to improve delivery planning and management, to reduce the number of kilometers traveled;

- Offering more flexible delivery services, such as home delivery, delivery to relay points or on-demand delivery, to reduce the need for urgent deliveries.

Every action counts for a last green mile!
