Logistics is at the core of modern society and essential to transport food and goods in the heart of cities, where most Europeans live. However, recent statistics show that only half of truckloads moved at maximised capacity in 2021 [1], and the rapid increase in the last mile deliveries - 78% by 2030 [2] - affects the economics of logistics and its externalities on the urban tissue, including high traffic, noise and air pollution. It is worth noting that last mile logistics represent 30% of the total CO2 emissions of logistics transportation. Amongst the EU Green Deal objectives, several aim to tackle this: 55% reduction of emissions from cars and 50% from vans by 2030 [3]. On a local level, there is also an increasing push for zero-emission zones in inner cities, as 26 of the world’s largest cities signed up to the Green and Healthy streets pledge [4]. To foster and accelerate this transition towards economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable city logistics, systemic changes in last mile delivery ecosystems are needed. The analysis of previous collaborative urban logistics experiences shows that future urban logistics consolidation frameworks must be built on six fundamental pillars to guarantee the success and sustainability of their generalisation: collaboration, sustainable business models and added-value services, urban integration and space management optimisation, regulation, digital infrastructure, and innovation transferability enablers.
