The EIT UM Marketplace released a publication on the growing role of microhubs in urban logistics, highlighting their potential to make last-mile delivery more sustainable and efficient across European cities.
Urban logistics accounts for over 25% of transport-related emissions, driven by factors such as congestion and the use of high-emission vehicles. The article outlines how microhubs – small urban spaces where goods are transferred from larger vehicles to low-emission alternatives like cargo bikes – are being developed to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. These hubs often provide services such as vehicle charging, fleet sharing, parking, and goods consolidation.
