The intersection of last-mile delivery efficiency and road safety is an area of concern that TSR continues to address. Building off its successful Truck of the Future Initiative, TSR will be working with its members on exploring how to best expand the definition of a 21st century 鈥渄elivery truck,鈥� looking at the impact of utilizing the Volo-Coaster鈥檚 Electric Transport (Quad) in the context of supporting new types of safe, flexible and ultimately scalable last-mile delivery modalities in urban environments.
Peter Goldwasser explained, 鈥淭here is no question that a safer, more efficient city is dependent on both improving existing systems and innovating new ones designed for the challenges of an urban environment and last-mile delivery. This is where Volo-X鈥檚 鈥楺uad of the Future鈥� comes in.鈥�
鈥淢any of the delivery techniques used today in E-commerce鈥檚 last mile are largely the same as they were 100 years ago. Our work with TSR on Quad of the Future has tremendous potential to enhance the safety and sustainability of our cities, enable the success of companies large and small that drive our economy forward, and advance urban delivery options at scale,鈥� Paul Boardman concluded.
