“…Whereas 'Crowdsourcing logistics' is a term referring to the possibility of engaging people directly in the last mile delivery process per se, by "outsourcing the delivery of the goods to 'common' people that give their availability for bringing the parcel from a point of collection, generally a warehouse or a store, to a point of delivery" (Lazarević and Dobrodolac 2020, p. 2). While the benefits of this solution in minimizing last-mile delivery costs have been established (Ghaderi et al 2022, Kiba-Janiak et al 2021, Bosona 2020, Lazarević and Dobrodolac 2020, Mangiaracina et al 2019, Zhu 2019), further research is needed in order to better assess the value of different crowdsourcing logistics business models (Mangiaracina et al 2019, p. 16), given that the application of this solution may incur negative externalities (Simoni et al 2019, Zhu 2019.…”

“…Other experts focus on the issue of last mile delivery within the city of logistics, because according to Lazarević and Dobrodolac (2020) last-mile delivery is one of the most sensitive phases to organize in the postal process from the perspective of city logistics. The traditional approach at this stage involves the use of road transport, which has a significant impact on the sustainability of the system, both financially and environmentally.…”

“…Namely, it is necessary for the vehicle fleet of postal companies to be extensive, which implies the existence of a large number of different means of transport. (Lazarević and Dobrodolac, 2020) Due to the fact, that the issue of shared economy is currently a very topical theme in many sectors of national economy. In the field of transport, it is possible to observe the use of some principles of shared economy, especially in the context of sharing capacity of cars in passenger transport (BlaBlaCar, Zipcar, DriveNow etc.).…”

During the 20th century, population growth and changes in the business environment also led to a change in mobility requirements. Gradually, there was an increase in transport performance in the area of passenger and freight transport.

The sustainable and green city logistics deals with all transport (passenger and freight) and includes material and goods flows and movements of people inside and outside the city and agglomeration with respect to the sustainability pillars. This article deals with the possibilities of supplying Lidl Česká republika v.o.s. (hereinafter Lidl) stores in Prague agglomeration from the planned logistic centre in Buštěhrad. Two scenarios are tested in terms of total carbon dioxide emissions produced: standard way of distributing goods to stores (scenario A) and sustainable and green way of distributing goods to stores (scenario B). The scientific methods and approaches are used in this article, there are: scenario analysis, vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery with time windows and carbon dioxide emissions calculation approaches.

Last-mile delivery (LMD) is one of the crucial phases of the shipping process. Since e-commerce rapidly evolves, there are many issues that should be addressed in city logistics. This paper specifically tackles the issue of Third-Party Logistics (3PL) provider selection for sustainable last-mile delivery. The 3PL selection problem has been solved for the e-shop company from Belgrade, which has online sales. The management of the e-shop company has identified five possible 3PL providers. Those five 3PL providers have been evaluated according to six criteria such as distribution cost, on-time delivery, flexibility of distribution, IT capability, good cultural fit, and customer satisfaction index. To evaluate and rank the 3PL providers, two multi-criteria decision-making methods were coupled. The first one is a Best-Worst Method (BWM) used to find the criteria weights, while the second one is a Combined Compromised Solution (CoCoSo) method utilized to rank the 3PL providers from best to worst one. To check the stability as well as the robustness of the applied methods, sensitivity and comparative analyses are performed. The results show high confidence in the applied methods.
