This urban delivery system is a new initiative transforming urban logistics in Vilnius, marking the city as the first in Europe to embrace a fleet of autonomous delivery vehicles for its bussy center. This project heralds a new era in eco-friendly delivery, leveraging a fleet of electric-powered, driverless vehicles that navigate through city traffic to deliver groceries directly to consumers. The initiative is a collaboration between the innovative startup “LastMile” and “Clevon,” an Estonian pioneer in autonomous delivery solutions. These autonomous vehicles are uniquely designed with multiple lockable compartments to accommodate varying sizes of food orders, ensuring a seamless and secure delivery experience. What sets this apart is its commitment to sustainability and efficiency – operating completely free of charge for customers and reducing delivery service costs while minimizing environmental impact with electric propulsion. This system not only offers a more sustainable option for urban deliveries but also enhances customer convenience with real-time tracking and secure, code-locked deliveries.
