Parcel provider Deliver It shuts down
Parcel delivery provider Deliver It has shut down, an apparent victim of intense competition in the domestic last-mile delivery sector that took off with the entry of tech-enabled startups responding to tight capacity when online shopping exploded during the pandemic. Deliver It, which provided next-day delivery e-commerce and B2B customers in California, Arizona and Nevada, is the latest parcel service to go under in the past year. Pandion shut down in January, citing difficult market conditions. Other companies that have disappeared include Maergo, Point Pickup and Pitney Global E-Commerce. Kendra Jackson, Deliver It's chief commercial officer, wrote on LinkedIn she received notice that the company 'unexpectedly closed its doors' on Monday. The company's website does not have any information about going out of business and executives could not be reached for further details. Pitney Bowes' recent Parcel Shipping Index underscored how the recent influx of couriers in the United States has created a buyer's market with providers competing on price and eating into the market share of FedEx, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service. The volume carried by alternative carriers has jumped nearly 40% in the past five years. In 2024, carrier revenue per parcel ticked down a penny to $9.09. Independent and regional parcel carriers only represent 9.7% of the domestic parcel, according to ShipMatrix, making it difficult for all of them to succeed. Experts say too many companies jumped into the parcel market without full consideration of the high cost of residential delivery and they were squeezed when the e-commerce market normalized., Inflation, macro-economic uncertainty, declining e-commerce volumes from China because of Trump administration tariffs, more aggressive pricing from traditional integrated carriers and a slowdown in venture capital funding have also pressured delivery companies, according to Cirrus Global Advisors. Some carriers also expanded too quickly and were unable to maintain quality service levels. 'There is no need for the number of carriers that deliver today [or next day] in Southern California. I know of 8 different companies that can do your parcel delivery, not including UPS, USPS, FedEx or Amazon Shipping. The market is too fragmented for all of them to be individually successful. We will continue to see exits or consolidation in the months to come,' said Derek Lossing, founder of Cirrus Global Advisors, on LinkedIn. Deliver It was an asset-light provider that used third-party carriers for physical distribution. The company served industries such as real estate, court reporting, finance and healthcare, according to the website. RFID tracking and after-hours drop boxes were part of its product offering.

Yulu Raises INR 25.7 Cr from Magna in Series B Round
The funding arrives at a key moment for the Bengaluru-based company, which is witnessing strong demand for its electric two-wheelers, especially in the last-mile delivery sector. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Electric mobility startup Yulu has raised INR 25.7 crore in a Series B funding round from Canadian auto parts maker Magna International. The latest investment was made through the allotment of 1,826 Series B3 Compulsory Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS) at INR 1,41,226.34 each, as per a recent Registrar of Companies filing. This top-up investment follows Yulu's earlier INR 160 crore fundraise in February 2025, which included participation from Magna and existing investor Bajaj Auto. The funding arrives at a key moment for the Bengaluru-based company, which is witnessing strong demand for its electric two-wheelers, especially in the last-mile delivery sector. This surge is driven by the rapid growth of quick commerce and hyperlocal delivery services. Yulu's Yulu Miracle bikes have become a familiar sight, but a major share of its current revenue is now coming from the Yulu DeX model, built for gig workers. This focused product-market fit has boosted the company's financial performance. In FY24, Yulu reported a 188% increase in operating revenue, reaching INR 119.9 crore. However, rising operational costs led to a 51% jump in total losses, amounting to INR 142.8 crore. Despite the losses, Yulu remains optimistic and has announced plans to double its fleet size to 100,000 electric vehicles by the end of this year. The new funding is expected to support this expansion.

Honda's New Electric Delivery Quadricycle Has Swappable Batteries, Fits in Bike Lanes
The business of delivering goods is a vast and complex one, and is only made more complicated by dense, urban spaces where demand is high and streets are tight. Enter the Fastport eQuad, a new, all-electric quadricycle from a new subsidiary of Honda. Though just a prototype for now, the eQuad is designed with urban congestion in mind and will offer a variety of features and sizes to fit the challenges of last-mile delivery. Honda's Fastport eQuad is a new electric quadricycle for urban deliveries, featuring swappable batteries, customizable cargo sizes, and bike lane compatibility. It offers a max speed of 12 mph and will debut at Eurobike 2025, with deliveries starting late this year. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next Fastport is Honda's B2B business and micromobility arm. On Tuesday, it announced its first product will be the eQuad, which is the vehicle delivery drivers will use to get your goods to you in a more efficient and safer way. This quadricycle prioritizes rider comfort, the company claims, as Honda's own engineering in the chassis design should return a comfortable ride, even over rough city blocks. That's fine, but the rest of the driver-comfort list is far from the sort of basic amenities you might find in, say, any modern Honda passenger vehicle. Delivery people, get excited for a full-frontal enclosure for protection against the elements, a ventilation fan, and a UV-coated canopy with a ceramic tint option. Maybe pay less attention to the (arguably efficient, for getting in and out quickly) otherwise open-air cockpit. Swappable rechargeable batteries will theoretically cut down on time spent waiting to charge back up again. Plus, an all-electric setup means no additional noise or emissions pollution. There's a pedal-by-wire pedal-assist powertrain, as well as automatic parking brakes and regenerative braking. Both small and large cargo box container sizes will be offered, depending on regional needs. Vehicle length can also be customized, which means customers can load a variety of goods like groceries, parcels, or small packages. The eQuad can also fit in bike lanes, which should reduce traffic congestion (at least for cars, maybe not, um, bikes). Two sizes will be offered. The small eQuad is approximately 11 feet long, just shy of 7 feet tall, and 3 feet wide, while the large model is approximately 12 feet long, 7 feet tall, and 4 feet wide. The small cargo box is approximately 6.3 feet long, 4.8 feet tall, and 3.2 feet wide; the largo cargo box is roughly 7.4 feet long, 5 feet tall, and 4 feet wide. Maximum payload for the small version is 320 pounds and 650 pounds for the large, and at maximum payload capacity, the large can travel up to 23 miles. No word yet on the range for the small. Both versions can travel up to a maximum speed of 12 mph. That's not all. The eQuad will also be equipped with software-defined platform features like maintenance and service plans, AI-powered dashboards to help with driver and fleet-management operations, and over-the-air software updates. Honda plans to debut its prototype at the Eurobike 2025 event in Frankfurt, Germany, at the end of June. No pricing was announced at this time, though deliveries of the first edition models are slated to start late this year. A full rollout is expected to happen next summer. At least in the case of a place like New York City, this is good news. Last-mile truck use has long plagued city streets and only increased in recent years due to the rise in e-commerce. Residents are fighting againstdangerous truck traffic, toxic air quality, and noise. Electric cargo bikes like the eQuad are the way forward. An update to the Department of Transportation's cargo bike rules in March 2024 now allows for freight deliveries to be executed by "pedal-assist electric cargo bicycles up to four feet wide, with four wheels and up to [16 feet long] long (with trailer)," Streetsblog New York City reported. This is "up from the original 120-inch limit that would have barred the existing fleets from Whole Foods and Amazon." Furthermore, the rules also establish new curb regulations: a "Commercial Bicycle Loading Only" zone to allow dedicated space at the curb for cargo bikes to load and unload goods." The eQuad's range might run into issues in bigger and more sprawling cities, but in immediate downtown areas, they're likely to be a favorable mobility solution.

The United States Department of Transportation finalized FMVSS exemption templates that cover sidewalk robots under four hundred pounds, replacing the previous waiver-by-waiver process. California's AB 2263 now grants statewide operational status to remotely supervised delivery bots, provided operators maintain twenty-four-hour incident reporting. In Europe, the revised EU Road Safety Framework introduced Annex IX, defining micro-carrier requirements and enabling cross-border trials between Belgium and the Netherlands. Japan's Diet amended Road Traffic Act article 57-4 to let level-four carts share residential streets during daylight, accelerating collaborations between Denso and Rakuten. Regulatory headwinds remain, yet coordinated sandboxes are unlocking controlled scale. India's Ministry of Road Transport approved ten smart-city corridors where companies like Delhivery and Ottonomy can operate three-wheeled bots at fifteen kilometers per hour under central teleoperation. Brazil's National Traffic Council adopted Resolution 1025 allowing sidewalk carriers below eighty centimeters width to travel within designated logistics lanes, a move expected to shorten beach-town delivery times during tourist season. At multilateral level, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe released an optional compliance tag, UN ADEL, that harmonizes sensor-redundancy documentation. Stakeholders believe these cumulative actions will give the autonomous last mile delivery market clear compliance pathways by 2026. Diverse Vehicle Platforms Elevate Service Offerings And Operational Resilience Today The hardware palette inside the autonomous last mile delivery market expanded significantly in 2024, moving beyond classic six-wheel rovers. Nuro introduced its third-generation pod, R3, which integrates retractable outer doors and a 150-liter cold-chain chamber ideal for sushi and biopharma vials. Zipline's P2 Zip, a glide-delivered droid lowering three-kilogram payload boxes through a tether, commenced suburban tests with Walmart in Dallas. Concurrently, Hyundai's DAL-e Drive platform merged autonomous navigation with Ioniq 5 electric chassis, enabling twenty-five mile neighborhood patrols under mixed traffic. These multimodal choices let retailers match robot type to distance, payload fragility, and curb availability, fortifying uptime across varied urban fabrics amid growing consumer speed expectations worldwide. Aerial options are also maturing. Wing's sixth-generation drone, HummingbirdX, carries six meals in cartons and lands on charging pads integrated atop parcel lockers from Smiota. Matternet logged its ninety-thousandth beyond-visual-line-of-sight flight, delivering lab samples among Swiss hospitals while maintaining a perfect safety record in 2024. On the ground, Continental's Corriere autonomous shuttle now hauls four Starship-style wagons that detach and finish door approaches independently, raising drop density to sixty parcels per tour. This combinatorial design cuts recharging cycles by routing acceleration to the tractor. Because such differentiation reduces congestion risk, investors view the autonomous last mile delivery market as increasingly platform-agnostic, encouraging specialized component suppliers to enter niche subsystems. Key End-Use Verticals Accelerating Commercial Demand For Autonomous Couriers Worldwide Grocery remains the most active vertical inside the autonomous last mile delivery market, thanks to time-sensitive perishables and dense order patterns. Kroger added sixty Bombas T mixed-temperature pods across Phoenix, pushing weekly robotic drops beyond twelve thousand. In the UK, Ocado collaborated with Oxbotica to pilot autonomous carts leaving the Hatfield Customer Fulfilment Centre and achieved peak pick-to-door times of twenty-five minutes during evening rush. Restaurant delivery is narrowing the gap. DoorDash, operating over 3,500 Serve Robotics units in Los Angeles, reported that autonomous orders now carry an average basket value of US$ 34, US$ 2 above human courier averages, validating customer acceptance for hot-meal transport in major metros. Healthcare logistics provides another expansion avenue. In 2024, Mayo Clinic began shuttling pathology slides between its Jacksonville campus buildings using fifty AI-guided carts produced by LifeBot. Results show transit consistency within four minutes, cutting diagnostic turnaround by an afternoon shift. Pharmaceuticals also benefit: CVS shipped forty-thousand prescription orders on Zipline drones across North Carolina, meeting chain-of-custody standards through tamper-evident capsules. Fashion retail experiments are underway as well. H&M deployed ten Contoro sidewalk robots in Barcelona's El Born district to handle one-hour returns, reducing foot-traffic congestion near flagship stores. Because service-quality gains compound, analysts forecast the autonomous last mile delivery market will see vertical diversification outpace e-commerce courier growth curves. Competitive Landscape Highlights Strategic Alliances, Pilots, And Funding Momentum Surge Capital inflows reinforced the autonomous last mile delivery market during 2024, despite macro uncertainty. Starship Technologies closed a Series C round worth ninety-two million dollars led by Plural and Iconical, earmarked for fleet expansion across twenty new US college campuses. Serve Robotics secured a seven-year revenue-sharing agreement with Uber Eats concurrent with a twenty-five million convertible note backed by Nvidia Ventures. Chinese player Neolix, operating 5,000 minivans, unveiled a joint venture with Saudi's Public Investment Fund to build an assembly plant in Riyadh capable of producing eight thousand units annually. These transactions emphasize investor appetite for firms that combine proprietary autonomy stacks with asset-light service contracts and predictable margins. Strategic alliances continued to blur lines between retailers, carriers, and platform providers. FedEx shuttered its internal Roxo program, then licensed core patents to Cartken, enabling rapid relaunch of sidewalk operations on Memphis medical campuses without resource drain. Amazon partnered with Rivian-backed startup to integrate perception modules into Scout 2.0 prototypes, achieving battery endurance through shared thermal management. In South Korea, Coupang and LG Electronics co-developed indoor-outdoor navigation algorithms that let LG CLOi robots transition from warehouse aisles to elevator lobbies unassisted. Such collaborations lower development duplication while creating de facto standards. Consequently, the autonomous last mile delivery market is consolidating around interoperable software APIs, likely influencing future procurement decisions. Lucrative Regional Revenue Pockets Signal Imminent Scale And Profitability Possibilities Asia-Pacific hosts the most lucrative regional revenue pockets within the autonomous last mile delivery market, primarily driven by megacity congestion and ecommerce volume. In 2024, Meituan operated 1,500 delivery robots across Beijing's Shunyi district, completing forty thousand drops per day at peak holiday periods. Shenzhen followed, where JoyBot fleet travelled a combined 180,000 kilometers on arterial roads without a major incident since January. Singapore's Land Transport Authority approved permanent sidewalk operation for Otsaw's Camello robots along five residential towns, and average monthly transaction counts now exceed ninety thousand. These figures illustrate how dense urban clusters generate predictable throughput, translating into positive unit economics sooner than in suburban America environments. Across the autonomous last mile delivery market, Europe shows promise, yet capitalizes on density patterns. DPDgroup deployed 400 DaxBot units in Hamburg's quarter, each finishing eighty stops during a nine-hour cycle thanks to short block lengths. In France, the La Poste–Kiwibot partnership serves 120 condominiums around Montpellier, converting 3,000 scooter runs to autonomous service by month six. Meanwhile, the Middle East is emerging quickly. Dubai Silicon Oasis hosts Evocargo's unmanned EVOTRUCK vans performing freight handoff to Carrefour's store, clocking revenues above seventy thousand dirhams. Investors thus observe distinct regional playbooks, but the autonomous last mile delivery market consistently rewards operators that align fleet design with local street geometry and labor prices. Challenges Constraining Rollouts And Mitigation Approaches Gaining Investor Confidence Globally Despite momentum, the autonomous last mile delivery market faces stubborn technical hurdles. Sensor fouling during heavy snow reduces LiDAR returns by almost half, forcing Starship to suspend operations across Minneapolis for eleven storm days this winter. Power-train durability is another issue; early wheel-hub motors on Nuro R2 units required replacement after 7,000 curb climbs, prompting a shift to In-wheel Gen 4 designs rated for 60,000 cycles. Vandalism also persists. Los Angeles Police Department recorded 118 incidents of robot tipping or graffiti in 2024, though none compromised customer parcels. Each challenge elevates maintenance costs and undermines availability, making reliability metrics as important as autonomy benchmarks. Mitigation techniques are progressing. Kiwibot integrated hydrophobic lens coatings and micro-heaters that restore sensor clarity within ten seconds after slush exposure. To counter vandalism, Serve Robotics partnered with LAPD and installed audible deterrence messages triggered by accelerometer spikes above two g thresholds. Fleet operators are also investing in predictive maintenance dashboards. FedEx's new InsightOps platform ingests 2.4 million wheel-rotation events daily, flagging abnormal vibration ninety hours before failure. Insurance carriers have noticed these safeguards and are offering specialized policies with six-figure deductibles instead of blanket exclusions. Such risk-transfer products reassure venture capital, allowing the autonomous last mile delivery market to scale while addressing community concerns proactively in real-world pilot zones. Modify Report as Per Requirements: Future Outlook Suggests Convergence With Retail Ecosystems And Smart Infrastructure Looking ahead, the autonomous last mile delivery market will intersect closely with retail orchestration platforms. Shopify launched a Robot Delivery API in 2024 that lets merchants schedule pickup windows, set handoff authentication, and automatically trigger loyalty points upon successful drop confirmation. Walmart is building micro-fulfillment hubs with dedicated robot docks, allowing simultaneous loading of Nuro pods and DroneUp aircraft to meet varied service levels. Digital twins are becoming essential integration tools. Siemens' Xcelerator simulated Dallas traffic across 840,000 virtual delivery trips to optimize curbside staging, saving an estimated nine curb conflicts per thousand orders during live rollout. These data-driven synergies push robotics beyond novelty into strategic supply-chain nodes for retailers. Convergence with smart infrastructure will shape maturity timelines. The United Kingdom's National Highways installed 300 roadside units broadcasting MAP and SPaT messages, enabling lane closures for autonomous convoys by 2026. Cavnue is embedding edge GPUs that prioritize delivery robots at crosswalks when pedestrian density falls below thresholds. Payment integration is evolving too. Visa's 2024 Token Secure standard lets bots act as mobile point-of-sale terminals, collecting tips or age-verified signatures through NFC taps. Because these upgrades arise outside vehicle manufacturers, the autonomous last mile delivery market gains resilience. Analysts expect over fifteen national road agencies to subsidize communication nodes, accelerating scale and adoption globally. Global Autonomous Last Mile Delivery Market Key Players: Airbus S.A.S.
