报告内容：
This talk draws from my research in green urban logistics in the past ten years or so. In this talk I will examine two major trends in last‐mile logistics in the US largely in response to the rapid growth in ecommerce: electrification and crowdsourcing/crowdshipping. I will focus my examinations on logistics efficiency in terms of cost, energy consumption, and emissions. At the end I will talk briefly about my view of the future of urban logistics.
