Last-mile solutions with multi-tiered distribution

In this episode of Thought starters Matthias Winkenbach, Director of the MIT Megacity Logistics Lab and the MIT CAVE Lab explores how businesses can master last-mile logistics within urban environments.

The urban last-mile is typically defined as the last leg of transportation to the final recipient. According to Matthias, ”while the last-mile is just the shortest, final leg of the global supply chain, it's actually the most complex and most costly part.”  That's why getting those one to five kilometres right, is the most critical thing to do to ensure efficient deliveries to consumers.
