Impacts of Last Mile Delivery on Environment in Urban Areas: Hanoi Case Study
Last-mile delivery is increasingly becoming important for retailers in the era of rapidly growing e-commerce when consumers prefer shopping online rather than buy goods at retail stores. However, the last-mile comprises up to 28% of the total delivery cost and is currently regarded as one of the least efficient and most polluting processes in a supply chain. As a part of freight transport, it has been criticized for causing externalities in urban areas such as greenhouse effects, congestion, pollution, and others. Therefore, studies helping to improve the last mile delivery efficiency and reduce externalities are concerns and challenges for many researchers. In this paper, impacts of last-mile delivery on the environment in urban areas, based on the Hanoi metropolitan context, are presented. The paper includes 5 sections. After the general introduction part, the second part describes last-mile delivery’s environmental issues. The third section introduces the research methodology to identify characteristics of last-mile delivery and investigate their impacts on the urban environment. Hanoi as a case study will be investigated in the fourth section, and then, conclusions and discussions are presented in the last one. The results reveal that last mile delivery service constitutes about 27% of all circulating vehicles it already contributes to around 13% of emissions.
