Challenges in Last-Mile Logistics
Last-mile logistics refers to the final stage of the delivery process, where goods are transported from a distribution center to their final destination. It is often the most expensive and complex part of the supply chain due to urban congestion, high customer expectations, and environmental impact. Traffic congestion in busy areas, the demand for fast and flexible deliveries, and increased emissions from multiple trips pose significant challenges.
ECOMILE: A Sustainable Approach
The ECOMILE project aims to address these challenges by reducing emissions, optimizing delivery routes, and using eco-friendly vehicles for more sustainable urban logistics.
CRADLE’s Contribution
CRADLE, a Piraeus-based organization, collaborates with local logistics companies to explore best practices in transport optimization and emission reduction. Their research supports greener and more efficient delivery solutions in the Piraeus region.
Shaping a Greener Future
Sustainable logistics is key to balancing efficiency with environmental responsibility. By embracing green initiatives, cities can reduce congestion and pollution while meeting growing delivery demands.
