Locations for the parcel lockers

Key Challenge

Parcel lockers can bring a benefit to cities’ last mile logistics, but only when used efficiently. For this, user engagement and behavioural change is required. 

Possible Solutions

Municipality of Aalborg together with its partners will pilot smart parcel lockers that can be used for distribution (e.g. parcel delivery) as well as waste management and recycling (etc. packaging material, old batteries) in close proximity of users. Additionally they will also try to validate the thesis of higher utilization when establishing such services closer to users.

Through this, empty runs of commercial traffic shall be reduced and utilization and quality of recycling improved. At the same time, the Municipality of Aalborg pilot adds a crucial social impact value to MoLo Hubs by involving persons with reduced functional abilities as operative staff and by this improving labour opportunities for them – an initiative started together with city of Aalborg in the FleXskrald project.
