Robots for zero-emission deliveries in Helsinki
A pilot project on new urban logistics has begun in Helsinki: a local distribution hub opened at the Ruoholahti Shopping Centre in the Finnish capital last week. Here, customers can send or pick up a package at the DHL Express service point and all local residents can have their packages delivered by a cargo bike or a little robot.
The shipments of the project partner DB Schenker are delivered to the local distribution centre in large vans. Then, the packages are split among A2B and DB Schenker cargo bikes, electric delivery vans and last-mile autonomous delivery robots. The pilot is coordinated by Forum Virium Helsinki and will run until the end of August. (ben)
