Urb-it and DHL Express France have entered into a partnership to provide zero carbon last-mile deliveries to its consumers in France.

The new partnership will enable Urb-it to enhance its eco-certified last-mile delivery service and meet the rapidly increasing consumer demand for sustainable, future-proof ecommerce delivery and returns solutions. It will also solve the need for an eco-fleet to rapidly scale capacity and deliver on customer expectations.

Now live in Paris, Urb-it will operate a part of last-mile deliveries direct from DHL Express France’s centrally located distribution centers to consumers, with future plans to roll the operation out across other major French cities. The partnership brings together two influential logistic service providers to offer customers a premium and sustainable delivery service.

“The collaboration with Urb-it is a fantastic opportunity for us to continue to develop our customer offering of sustainable logistics solutions. Now we can offer fast and eco-certified home delivery from our city distribution centers.”
