Abstract

The last mile delivery is a broad term for the movement of goods from a transportation hub to a final delivery destination. For B2C sector, for example, the delivery of items purchased over the Internet can be considered as an example. The last mile delivery includes next day (or designated day), same day and instant delivery options. These options were used to constitute a premium service for a single item on request, but nowadays are widely becoming a standard for different types of product groups due to the growth of e-commerce. However, this is a big challenge for logistics companies to be able to deliver products in very short time windows while considering environmental impacts of their transportation activities (Demir et al., 2014). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the economic and environmental feasibility of the last mile delivery by modelling the delivery costs and emissions for a set of customised delivery slots.
