Last-mile delivery in the Netherlands has progressed to the next level, demonstrating to the rest of the world that goods can be carried to varied areas with ease without the use of large trucks. In addition, sustainability is emerging as a major factor across all industries. To maintain a low carbon footprint, most service providers are employing smaller vehicles, such as electric cargo bikes, unmanned electric vehicles, etc. For instance, in 2021, DPD Netherlands completed a five-day trial of the latest unmanned autonomous delivery vehicle from Estonian innovator Cleveron

The COVID-19 pandemic caused worldwide lockdowns, disrupted commercial activities, and challenged the economy but created widespread opportunities for the last-mile delivery market. In addition, the pandemic resulted in a consumer shift, causing a surge in e-commerce retail sales. This further fueled the powerful opportunity for logistics industrialists to push through real and lasting change. Since the coronavirus outbreak, the volume of online orders and frequency of orders from Dutch families has increased dramatically.

Meanwhile, in 2022, the Netherlands saw unprecedented growth in last-mile delivery; the growing e-commerce sales and online grocery sales are the major drivers of last-mile delivery services in the country. Moreover, the country designed last-mile city hubs to increase route efficiency. This concept aimed at reducing the number of kilometers driven (i.e., the number of vehicles in cities) by better bundling parcels outside of city centers. Utilization of these city centers further ensures 100% emission-free last-mile delivery. Thus, the country is focusing on innovation in the market to meet the growing demand from end users.
