Hello, this is GLEC, a company specializing in measuring carbon emissions in the logistics and transportation industry.
"Did the delivery arrive already?" I found myself asking this question more often lately. No engine noise, no exhaust fumes - just a delivery person stepping off an electric scooter with a smile. This is the new reality of urban deliveries in 2025, and the impact is more significant than you might imagine.
The Shocking Truth: 25% of Urban CO2 Comes from Deliveries
Here's a statistic that stopped me in my tracks: 25% of CO2 emissions in cities come from goods transportation. Every day, thousands of delivery vehicles crisscross our streets, pumping exhaust into the air we breathe.
But there's good news. The rapid adoption of electric mobility is dramatically changing this picture.
Why Last-Mile Delivery is the Biggest Challenge
Last-mile delivery - getting packages from distribution centers to your door - is paradoxically the most polluting part of the entire logistics chain. Here's why:
- Narrow streets require frequent stops and starts
- Traffic congestion leads to idle time
- Multiple delivery attempts multiply emissions
This inefficiency has made last-mile delivery the prime target for electrification efforts.
Real People, Real Experiences with Electric Deliveries
The feedback from consumers has been overwhelmingly positive:
New Mom's Relief: "No engine noise means my baby can nap peacefully even during delivery hours."
Shop Owner's Appreciation: "No exhaust fumes means I can keep my windows open without worry."
Young Professional's Surprise: "It's so quiet I didn't even know the delivery had arrived. Amazing!"
