Smart city logistics

Traffic volumes and consignment volumes are especially high in densely populated large cities and urban centres. As a specialist for customer delivery, Rhenus is developing new solutions and delivery concepts for smart city logistics in the Home Delivery segment.

logistics concepts for liveable cities

Fast, quiet, sustainable: our vision of modern delivery in urban areas. For us, sustainable city logistics involves more than “just” electric vehicles. Cargo bikes, micro depots and the use of main transport routes overnight are already part of our last-mile transports. Have a look at our concepts and visions for urban logistics of today and tomorrow.

Discover possible delivery routes within the city of the future. What’s more, there are countless individual concepts and approaches for the transport of goods in the city. We will be pleased to advise you on the implementation of your unique last-mile transports – innovative, sustainable and future-proof.
