The car park must be a service hub for last-mile Delivery (LMD), freeing the city of traffic caused by cruising for parking and promoting more fluid and sustainable mobility. It is a positioning in which Saba firmly believes and for which in recent years it has developed a proposal based on two lines of action: the creation of microhubs for distribution of local goods in the car parks, and mass deployment of lockers for collection and delivery of e-commerce products.
The current urban distribution model of e-commerce, which registers very high and continued growth, and even more so after the pandemic, is unsustainable due to its impact on road congestion and the environment. The impact of the LMD in large cities represents 40% of emissions and 20% of congestion, all of which is increasing. The authorities must face this situation by taking advantage of existing city infrastructure, such as car parks. Their location in dense areas, along with their 24 hour/365 day opening gives them a relevant role in tackling pollution and congestion.
