Deliveries by electric bikes are logistically superior

As e-commerce is growing strongly, there is an increasingly higher demand for reduced environmental impact, both from consumers and legislation. The solution to the question is Urb-it.

Background and motives

Urb-it's goal is to offer sustainable last-mile services in large cities with high population density with extensive e-commerce markets and environmental legislation in place. The company applies an expansive growth strategy where Urb-it has gone from local markets to operations in multiple European cities. In 2020, the Company was active in three of the largest cities in France and England and expanded to 9 major cities in 2021. In the first half of 2022, Urb-it's services reached over 4 million residents in the Paris city center and the Company expanded its operations in England by launching in the British city of Liverpool.

Retail and e-commerce are undergoing a digital transformation and are growing rapidly. In the last decade, the market has seen an increase of approximately 300 percent between 2014 and 2019. Where the driving forces behind growth are, among other things, increased urbanization, as well as increased purchasing power, and the range of goods that can be purchased online. At the same time, demands for convenience and environmental awareness are increasing from the urban consumer, which in turn generates increased demand for deliveries, and innovative solutions in last-mile services, which is a service that consumers increasingly expect.

Urb-it entered 2022 with a clear focus on the implementation of the company's decided strategy, with continued growth and with an increased focus on profitability. After continued investments in infrastructure, the company is now well positioned to grow with the increasing demand, primarily from the e-commerce segment. During 2022, Urb-it prioritized profitability over volume growth, which enabled enhanced operational efficiency. At the same time, this focus resulted in reduced costs for the entire operation. Previous investments and the strategic decision to focus on efficiency and increased profitability have affected the number of delivered packages per hour, which demonstrates the scalability and strong unit economics found in the company's offering. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company demonstrated strong growth figures and increased turnover, approximately 13.9 percent compared to the previous quarter and approximately 109.9 percent compared to the same quarter the year before. This is largely due to the larger customers the company has agreements with, including Amazon, Alibaba, and Yodel.

In 2022, Urb-it took the step to expand to Spain, one of the leading countries in e-commerce and one of the fastest-growing e-commerce markets in Europe. Moreover, Spain plans to introduce environmental zones in the 180 largest cities by 2023, which will increase the demand for environmentally aware last-mile services. Urb-it began by launching in Barcelona and Madrid, giving direct access to a customer base of 3.5 million inhabitants. With this, Urb-it is now active in 13 large European cities in three different countries, and Urb-it is exploring expansion into additional markets where the company's business model would succeed. In particular in large cities with high population density, developed e-commerce markets, and extensive environmental legislation where the Company has identified opportunities in Germany, Italy, and Portugal.
