News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Commerce has experienced considerable growth and improveme nt with respect to processes, technology,reliability and speed. However, last m ile delivery methods have not changed significantly in the last 50years, except ing the use of scanners for delivery confirmation and cargo tracking, for exampl e. Recentgrowth of home delivery volumes and frequency (driven by faster delive ry concepts) challenge cities andproviders, for example when delivery trucks bl ock streets and cause traffic jams. Attempts at solving thisproblem include loc al hubs to deliver cargo with electric cargo bikes, parcel lockers at post offic es andsuper markets. In general, however, the logistics involved are still comp lex, inflexible, and expensive. Thelatter is due in part to the investments req uired for providing storage spaces, in particular shelf spaces forcargo used in warehouses and/or pick-up centers. Further, present cargo logistics systems log istics are notoptimized for end-to-end deliveries so that customer satisfaction is limited.”
