Last Mile in Portugal
The growth of online shopping, consumer demand and sustainability
It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about many changes that continue to this day, one of the most interesting things for businesses is the increase in online shopping. In fact, according to data from Marktest’s e-Commerce barometer, in 2023 the total number of shoppers using digital media reached 62.1%, with the 45-54 age group registering the greatest growth among online shoppers. This increased interest in online shopping brings challenges and opportunities for companies, particularly in the Last Mile sector. According to data from Deloitte, customers highly value the shopping experience, with 83% considering it as important as the quality of the products and 59% willing to pay more for a good experience. In this sense, ensuring that products are delivered as quickly as possible, at a reduced cost and with a low environmental impact is becoming increasingly important.

Last Mile & Tuk Tuks
Easy and sustainable transport and deliveries
As we can see from the data above, the retail sector is facing major challenges but also huge opportunities, with the rise of online shopping. Consumers are increasingly sensitive to the shopping experience, valuing fast delivery and a simplified, free returns process. In this sense, companies, both in transport & delivery and retail, need solutions capable of meeting these challenges. One such solution is tuk tuks. Although in Portugal they are often associated with tourism, the connection between the versatile e-Tuks and the last mile is a perfect match. Their small size combined with their large load capacity allows them to transport volumes to places where traditional transport vans would find it difficult to get around. Moreover, the fact that e-Tuks are 100% electric also tackles another problem facing urban centres: noise and air pollution. Every journey, whether personal or business, contributes to this problem and it is the responsibility of all of us to contribute to a more sustainable future.
