Micromobility fleets for logistics and delivery companies

The market research paper about the growth of last-mile delivery sets the pace: Last Mile Delivery Market Size is projected to reach USD 123 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.21%: Straits Research

What is this last-mile delivery?

It means the part when the product you ordered is transported from the distribution hub to the final destination, usually homes and offices. The market is growing as people are ordering more and more online and using delivery services for food, parcels, and more. As the market is growing so is the demand for suitable transportation methods for it and that’s where micromobility comes in.

Traditional delivery services usually used trucks and cars to deliver products but these days thinking about a big truck to deliver you a pizza or the latest small headphones seems like overkill- it’s bad for the environment and also slow to navigate especially if you live in a city that’s full of one-way streets, narrow alleyways, and paths where cars just can enter.

Electric scooter delivery fleets and operators are the new focus

Most people have gotten used to seeing delivery people using bikes and scooters and that’s the section that’s growing. There are more and more micromobility fleet services focusing on the delivery industry and other business cases instead of targeting consumers.

Electric scooters and bikes are an excellent choice for transportation companies servicing urban areas as they have many benefits;

• Faster from A to B. Scooters can use bicycle lanes and smaller alleyways. This helps them to pass rush-hour traffic and congestion.
• Because of their faster speed, they can make double the stops/deliveries compared to a truck.
• Operating costs and total cost of ownership are much lower than what they would be for a truck

These reasons make electric scooters and micromobility a perfect choice for urban last-mile solutions. Faster and cheaper deliveries. Not to mention better for the environment and good for the company image.

Thinking about a 123 Billion market size for 2030 is more than a believable number. If you want to catch that wave now is the time to act. 

Delivery services also need their own customized heavy-duty scooters that are designed with baskets and carrying hooks suitable for delivery services.
