Amazon has announced a new pilot package delivery service in Frankfurt, Germany, that combines electric road and rail transport.
The e-commerce giant will use vans from its delivery depot to the first tram stop on the outskirts of Frankfurt, with the city’s new Gütertram service transporting the goods to awaiting cargo bikes. Gütertram is part of a research project from Frankfurt University and the local municipality and aligns with Amazon’s broader initiative to incorporate trains into its delivery network. In April, the company signed a logistics contract to utilize a rail network for transporting goods between fulfillment centers in Germany and Italy.
Amazon has been emphasizing its commitment to sustainability to address concerns raised by environmental reports. Despite this, the company abandoned its goal to make half of its shipments carbon neutral by 2030.
This initiative in Frankfurt is not the first time trams have been used for cargo transport in Europe. In Germany, Dresden operated the CarGoTram for two decades before its recent closure, and Deutsche Post DHL tested a similar service in Schwerin, discontinuing it less than two years after its launch in 2022.
