UrbanNest Home transformed last-mile delivery by adopting electric vehicles and eco-friendly packaging to reduce its carbon footprint.
UrbanNest Home, a rapidly growing home goods retailer, faced increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, particularly in the last-mile delivery phase of its operations. To meet sustainability goals and improve operational efficiency, the company overhauled its delivery infrastructure with a suite of eco-conscious innovations.
The first major step was transitioning from traditional fuel-based delivery vans to a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs), significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering noise pollution in residential areas. To support the transition, UrbanNest installed EV charging stations at regional fulfillment centers, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
UrbanNest also introduced freight consolidation practices, grouping orders by geographic zones and delivery windows. This reduced the number of trips per day and maximized each vehicle’s capacity.
