Listen Later

In this episode, Milo Stössel, the Co-Founder of Quickpac, talks about the concept of last-mile delivery in e-commerce and how Quickpac is revolutionizing this space with electric vehicles.

Last-mile delivery refers to the final leg of the delivery process, where goods are transported from a distribution center to the customer's doorstep. As online shopping continues to rise, there is an increasing demand for efficient, fast, and eco-friendly solutions to deliver products.

However, last-mile delivery poses challenges for sustainability, as the number of delivery vehicles in urban areas is expected to increase significantly. A report highlights that by 2030, delivery vehicle numbers will rise by 36%, and emissions from delivery traffic could increase by 32% globally.

Quickpac aims to address this issue by being Europe’s first parcel delivery service to operate 100% electric vehicles. Founded in 2019, it is a subsidiary of Quickmail AG and focuses on eco-friendly last-mile delivery solutions.

Key facts about Quickpac:

  • Over 330+ employees
  • Delivers more than 5 million packages annually (over 11 million since 2019)
  • Operates a fleet of 300+ electric vehicles
  • Has helped avoid 5,000+ tonnes of CO2 emissions through its electric vehicle fleet

Additionally, Quickpac uses AI-guided mapping to optimize delivery routes and minimize unnecessary driving, further reducing its environmental impact.

In this episode, Milo talks about the growing importance of sustainable delivery methods and shares insights into how Quickpac is helping to reduce carbon emissions in the e-commerce space.
