[EN] The postal service is suffering an adaptation to the new markets opened by the users. The
traditional post, letters and postcards, is being used less and is substituted by mail and
packaging. To adequate to this new market it's important for the postal sector companies.
In Spain, the operator of the Universal Postal Service has taken example from other
companies of the sector, national and international, implanting electrical bicycle mail and
packaging service in the centre of big cities. This is due to the fact that there are more the
cities that are forbidding vehicle access to it's historical centres and the volume of packaging
to deliver is greater.
But, is it viable to deliver using hybrid and electrical vehicles in cities? This study intends
to improve the distribution in cities with the implantation of these vehicles. It takes into
account the characteristics of populations between 50.000 and 100.000 inhabitants, in which
it will be analysed the advantages and inconvenience, doing special emphasis in the
economic cost, conducting studies of the costs of implantation and amortization time.Vera López, J.; Pabón Dueñas, AB.; Liñán Ruiz, RJ.; Merino Córdoba, S. (2016).
