Transportation accounts for about 24% of global CO2 emissions from various modes including road, rail, air, and marine, with projections indicating increases. NYC's rapidly growing micro cargo sector offers a promising solution to reduce truck traffic and improve urban life.
Nearly 90% of NYC's goods are transported by truck, increasing street congestion and environmental concerns. The expansion of micro cargo operations could significantly reduce pollution, enhance road safety, and stimulate the economy by revitalizing vacant office spaces.
Key industry players such as Fernhay, Dutch-X, EAV, and Civilized Cycles are critical to advancing these innovations in urban logistics.
