That's not what this is though. These carriages will just be going from delivery hub to delivery hub. The deliveries to hubs will be by trucks.
The last mile transport to stores will be by van or bike. And that's a metaphorical last mile; the density of the hubs appears to be pretty low, with e.g. 2-3 hubs in Zürich.
The thing they claim makes this work is bundling all deliveries going to the same receiver (across all suppliers) into the same
carriage on the sending end, which then makes it easy to optimize that last mile delivery with small vehicles.
This doesn't seem very compelling.
