What Carbon-Neutral Really Means in Delivery

Credible carbon-neutral delivery starts with rigorous measurement across the full chain: vehicle energy, warehouse electricity, packaging materials, returns, and even last-meter handoff. Tell us in the comments how your team tracks emissions and where you struggle.

Electric vans in the real world

Range is improving, and overnight depot charging keeps vans ready for full-day routes. Drivers love the quiet cabins, and neighbors notice the difference at dawn. Have you tested electric vans? Comment with your lessons, wins, and missteps.

Cargo bikes and microhubs

Cargo bikes shine when paired with microhubs that stage parcels closer to customers. Fewer traffic snarls, easier parking, and delightful curbside encounters. Follow our newsletter for a field guide to launching a microhub pilot in your city.

When walking beats driving

In pedestrian districts, walking couriers deliver faster than circling vans. Think wayfinding apps, rolling trolleys, and lockers for off-peak pickups. If your area has walkable pockets, tell us where a foot-based route could thrive first.

Smarter Routes, Smaller Footprints

Real-time signals—traffic, weather, delivery density—help systems re-sequence stops on the fly. The payoff is fewer detours and calmer drivers. Want our template for choosing a routing engine? Subscribe and we’ll send the criteria checklist.
