CITYLogin and Madrid’s Municipal Transport Company (EMT) have inaugurated a micro-fulfilment centre under Plaza Mayor, the Spanish capital’s famous main square.

The 200-sqm underground facility will enable CITYLogin to deliver a selection of consumer items to retail stores and consumers in the city centre within 30 minutes to 2 hours. CITYLogin will use all-electric vehicles from Scoobic, a Spanish company, to transport the parcels. 

The EV fleet will include 10 Scoobic Light three-wheelers, with a payload of 420kg, autonomy of 80km and top speed of 45km/hour. The Scoobic Light features an anti-tip device that improves driving stability and safety.

This test initiative is co-funded by the EMT and the European Commission. It is one of the projects supported by LEAD, a Europe-wide initiative to develop more sustainable last-mile logistics models.

The reuse of available spaces in cities combined with the use of low-emission vehicles is one of the most promising approaches to urban logistics explored by CityLogin and FM Logistic.
