Singapore is a unique market where many consumers have their food or products delivered to their homes. E-commerce has grown significantly in the last few years, providing a convenient way for many Singaporeans to shop.

Opting for a Sustainable Last Mile Delivery (or GLAD - green last mile delivery) is mainly about taking action:

  • Using a fleet of electric vans or considering bicycles/e-bikes for smaller items. There is a new approach for two-wheel delivery fleets using battery swapping technology. Singapore currently has 3,600 charging points for electric vehicles nationwide, with a target of 60,000 points by 2030. While the national grid is still highly carbon-intensive, it is important to remove carbon emissions from residential areas and concentrate them in power plants. In addition to reducing air pollution, EVs also reduce noise pollution.
  • Optimising delivery routes using a last-mile technology system (shared assets (vehicles) and driver pool, traffic data, bundling deliveries to one customer, offering customers an eco-delivery with a slight delay).

One area to watch in the coming years is drone delivery, which will dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of delivery.

60,000

EV charging point will be available in Singapore before 2030.
