Whether in urban areas, densely populated suburbs or traffic-calmed zones – the last section from the distribution centre to the customer is time-consuming, labour-intensive and costly. Current studies prove this: The last mile accounts for up to 53% of total logistics costs. This challenge comes up against growing structural problems: A shortage of skilled labour, a lack of storage space, environmental regulations, emissions and increasing delivery frequencies due to booming online retail. According to the PAVE Europe Whitepaper 2025, the market volume for last-mile deliveries worldwide is already over 155 billion US dollars – and growing.
Autonomous systems – the game changer in city logistics
The industry has long been looking for scalable, reliable solutions – and is increasingly finding them in automation. Autonomous vehicles are considered a key technology for urban logistics: they are compact, emission-free, ready for use 24/7 and do not require personnel in the traditional sense. This is not just about driverless vehicles, but about an overall technological system that includes control, safety, energy supply and integration with existing fleets. This is precisely where Arnold NextG comes in with the NX NextMotion platform. Arnold NextG’s drive-by-wire technology completely replaces mechanical control components with purely electronic control of the steering, brakes and drive. The special feature: NX NextMotion is multi-redundant, fail-operational and designed for continuous use in urban conditions. This makes NX NextMotion a key component for OEMs, vehicle developers and system integrators who want to put urban delivery solutions on the road.
Proven advantages in practice
The Arnold NextG platform is already demonstrating its capabilities in pilot projects and industrial environments – both in autonomous logistics vehicles and in highly automated delivery systems. Its modular design allows it to be quickly integrated into different vehicle concepts without compromising on safety. Its effect on the last mile: Cost reduction: less maintenance, less downtime due to the elimination of mechanical components – Capacity gain: flexible use even with limited driver availability – ideal for peak times and autonomous scenarios – Fleet flexibility: use of smaller, cab-less vehicles with a higher load volume – Delivery performance: higher frequency due to precise manoeuvrability – Sustainability: contribution to emission reduction and noise avoidance – Safe continuous operation: redundant system architecture for maximum availability.
