Since the strong growth of deliveries and the exorbitant expansion of the e-commerce sector during the health crisis in 2020, this sector currently represents a turnover of well over 112 billion euros. This step represents the most profitable part of the supply chain, which is why it is at the center of business controversy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the last mile?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLast-mile logistic\u201d refers to the last delivery process, and more simply its trajectory to its final destination, which is the place where the recipient\u2019s package is received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its profitability, this stage is also the most costly, with repercussions on all levels, on traffic congestion, and on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the challenges faced in the last kilometre ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The last kilometre can be run in several ways, each with its own challenges:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp; &nbsp;1. Cost<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a study by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.watea.green\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Cushman &amp; Wakefield<\/a>&nbsp;last-mile delivery can account for up to 50% of total supply chain costs, and this high cost is due to multiple transport-related inefficiencies, namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not guaranteeing receipt of the package by the customer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implementing suboptimal delivery methods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or making separate return journeys.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Customer satisfaction:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the only time the customer interacts with the shop that sold him the product. The dual challenge of customer satisfaction and company reputation is significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Today, customers are most satisfied with the speed of delivery: 67% of them prefer to receive their parcel the same day they order it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delivery punctuality: According to a survey conducted by Cap Gemini, late delivery was the cause of dissatisfaction for 48% of customers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delivery quality: Customers demand that their parcels arrive in perfect condition at their home or office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp; &nbsp;2. Distance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another problem with the distance between the warehouse and the final delivery point is that it is too far. Logistics hubs are often located in outlying urban areas to save on rent. However, we now realize that this imposes additional costs (wage costs, fuel costs). Conversely, locating a distribution warehouse in the city would tend to greatly reduce the cost of the last mile. Reducing the travel time by just 10 minutes could save up to \u20ac1 million per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp; &nbsp; 4. The ecological impact<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential to meet this challenge. In recent years, there has been an increase in delivery vehicles in the city. In recent years, motorcycles have become an important part of urban traffic. As for freight transport, it accounts for almost a third of the city\u2019s CO2 emissions. This is a considerable number, and carriers, such as Courier Express, have taken various measures to remedy the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The top 5 costs associated with last mile logistics or total shipping costs:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fuel costs :<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Accounts for 10-25% of overall last-mile delivery expenses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Labor costs:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u202fAccounts for 50-60% of total last-mile expenditure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delivery management software costs:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Often quite high.\u202fBut they are affordable because they help you reduce other costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costs of failed deliveries:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Can largely affect the bottom line of last mile logistics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other miscellaneous costs:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vehicle maintenance, idling and rescheduling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Electric utility vehicles: solutions offered by Wat\u00e8a by Michelin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Electric utility vehicles: the solutions offered by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.watea.green\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Watea by Michelin<\/a>&nbsp;: an improved solution dedicated to last mile delivery: electric utility vehicles, recharging infrastructure, insurance and assistance, and support over time. In concrete terms, this means :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An Energy Transition Manager assesses the need to better calibrate the solution:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Vehicles: he identifies the vehicles eligible for the charge book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Infrastructure: depending on the rights of the electrical network, he advises on how to update it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Installation of charging stations: Wat\u00e8a by Michelin installs charging stations adapted to the use and provides access to the public network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wat\u00e8a by Michelin delivers the vehicles and trains the drivers to use them. The dedicated mobile app enables real-time range management. On the fleet manager\u2019s side, a portal is made available to manage the entire fleet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continuity of service: the transition is very easy. Service continuity is ensured.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many challenges for online retailers. To promote and sponsor the ecological transition, all strata of this activity are mobilized. Among them, fleet managers have many opportunities. In last-mile logistics, the transformation is already underway to be in phase with the new practices of urban logistics.\u202fVehicles are tending towards a decline in emissions. This is combined with digital devices designed specifically to help drivers in their daily work. This implementation is facilitated by the emergence of innovative players like Wat\u00e8a by Michelin. The company offers an all-in-one electric mobility package. For example, the carrier Transtekexpress recently preferred the Wat\u00e8a by Michelin solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sbshoppingbasket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/financement-vehicule-utilitaire-electrique-1000x700-1-uai-516x361.jpg\" alt=\"vehicule utilitaire electrique\" class=\"wp-image-106605\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sbshoppingbasket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vehicule-utilitaire-electrique-1000x700-1-uai-516x361.jpg\" alt=\"vehicule utilitaire electrique\" class=\"wp-image-106610\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sbshoppingbasket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/recharge-vehicule-utilitaire-electrique-peugeot-e1650545592826-1000x700-1-uai-516x361.jpeg\" alt=\"vehicule utilitaire electrique\" class=\"wp-image-106615\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.watea.green\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Watea by Michelin<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An evaluation of the evolution of urban deliveries was made based on the largest metropolises such as Los Angles, Paris, London, and Amsterdam.
