Electric vehicles for urban food distribution

From supermarkets and local shops to e-grocery operators and food distributors, urban deliveries require logistical efficiency, temperature control, and unrestricted access to any area of the city.

With Scoobic, you can adapt the charging configuration to each operation, from dry goods to refrigerated or frozen merchandise.

The food's last mile requires more than just cargo capacity

Urban food distribution is changing

Cities are evolving towards more sustainable mobility models as the demand for rapid food deliveries grows.

Supermarkets, convenience chains, online shopping platforms and specialised distributors need to access increasingly restricted urban centres, while maintaining operational efficiency and the quality of transported products.

The current food distribution must simultaneously solve several challenges:

  • Compliance with Low Emission Zones.
  • Cold chain maintenance.
  • Reduction of operating costs.
  • Increase in deliveries per route.
  • Access to narrow streets and pedestrian areas.
  • Distribution of multiple references in complex urban environments.

A solution adapted to each product type

Not all food requires the same transport conditions.

This is why Scoobic allows different types of boxes to be configured depending on the characteristics of the goods and the distribution operation.

Dry box for non-perishable food

The dry box setup is designed for product delivery operations that do not require temperature control.

Ideal for:

  • Drinks.
  • Preserves.
  • Packaged food.
  • Pantry items.
  • Unrefrigerated bakery.
  • Snacks.
  • Vending products.

Benefits

Greater urban operational capacity

It allows easy access to areas where a conventional van encounters manoeuvring and parking limitations.

Lower delivery costs

Reducing energy consumption and maintenance optimises cost per delivery.

More deliveries per shift

The vehicle's agility and ease of parking reduce downtime.

Insulated box for fresh produce

When the delivery requires temperature maintenance throughout the urban route, the insulated box offers an efficient solution for fresh produce that needs thermal protection during transport.

Perfect for:

  • Fruit and vegetables.
  • Dairy.
  • Delicatessen.
  • Fresh produce.
  • Short-term prepared elaborations.

Benefits

Product quality maintenance

The merchandise maintains stable conditions throughout the delivery operation.
