Inner-city areas are already overloaded with traffic, and with the explosion of home shopping, particularly since the Covid pandemic, home and office deliveries have caused major problems, with parcel couriers contributing significantly to increasing traffic congestion.
The problem for providers and logistics service providers is that these journeys fall in to the “last mile” category, such that the journey from the local distribution hub to the delivery address takes two thirds of the total logistics cost. And that doesn’t factor in costs for the general public such as environmental pollution and the time lost due to traffic congestion.
THE WOHR SOLUTION
To overcome the last mile in large cities as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible, our intelligent parking systems can be configured as small, decentralised logistics hubs.
So, instead of transporting goods through crowded city streets during the day, they are stored at night in a parking system, or in this case, a logistics systems. The distance between the outskirts and the city centre can be covered much faster and more cost-effectively at this time of day.
After delivery by larger trucks, the goods are repacked at this logistics centre onto small vans or bicycles (or even drones) which are ready to be loaded.
The next morning, the delivery driver starts his route directly within the city.
Our Combilift solutions have grown to become the systems of choice for many architects and developers. Versatile and elegant, the system features in projects worldwide and provides architects, planners, developers and clients with a safe, secure, elegant and flexible parking solution which efficiently maximises the available space.
Combiparker is one of the most versatile parking solutions, offering developers the opportunity to further optimise the available land area. Providing from three up to five parking levels, the system can be designed with complete flexibility – with the drive-in entrances at any level of the system.
Based on vertical storage rack principles, ParkSafe systems park vehicles onto storage ‘shelves’ to the right or left of the entrance vertical lift up to three adjacent rows at each side. Customisable to meet each projects’ requirements, ParkSafe can be configured as an above ground tower, or a below ground shaft system – or indeed a tower/shaft combination. Rotation is also possible.
