Abstract
The global logistics industry is undergoing a critical transformation as it navigates the conflicting demands of exponential e-commerce growth and urgent sustainability imperatives. Within this ecosystem, last-mile delivery has emerged as the most cost-intensive and environmentally impactful segment, contributing significantly to urban congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper examines the integration of green logistics strategies, with a primary focus on the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) as a transformative solution for sustainable urban freight. By analyzing the distinct challenges faced by emerging economiesranging from infrastructural deficiencies to regulatory inconsistenciesthe study highlights how technological innovations like micro-mobility, digital route optimization, and renewable energy integration can reconcile economic efficiency with environmental responsibility. Through a critical evaluation of international case studies, this study provides actionable insights for policymakers and logistics firms to bridge the gap between academic theory and operational practice, ultimately positioning sustainable last-mile delivery as a cornerstone of global climate action.
