On the one hand, E-commerce has grown steadily since its inception and last-mile delivery has seen a high expansion. On the other hand, the growing concern about pollution associated with transport is imposing a paradigm shift in the transport of goods, leading to its decarbonization. The fundamental strategy being implemented by logistics operators is the transformation of their fleets to electric vehicles. This paper presents five possible innovative solutions for last-mile delivery that can be used in low or zero-emission areas and even in areas with no access to road traffic. As a conclusion, only one of them is fully implemented and in use today, e-cargo bikes. The other options, although very efficient and promising solutions, require large investments, further technological development and/or greater customer acceptance.
