The fourth generation of Rinspeed's modular "CitySnap" vehicle shows the way to pilot tests and series production. Mobility pioneer Frank M. Rinderknecht: According to the latest study, every other delivery vehicle is superfluous.

"CitySnap" reduces traffic, emissions, and costs - focus on customer convenience and efficiency

The "CitySnap" proof-of-concept vehicle shows a solution for innovative, sustainable, and efficient delivery that can be implemented at short notice. "Customer Focus" is the #rinspeed motto. The customer - and thus the person - is the focus with all facets. Because #rinspeed boss Frank M. Rinderknecht is certain: "People want more and more convenience and simplicity, but also sustainability in their lives". This unique delivery solution offers both.

Global online trade - projected to grow by around four percent prior to Covid-19 - has literally exploded in the past fifteen months with growth rates of 30% and more. The volume of goods and parcels from eCommerce has increased dramatically, today some 3'250 parcels are shipped worldwide every second. There is no end in sight to the exponential growth.

This extraordinary situation calls for modern delivery solutions - preferably contactless, hygienic, and therefore very customer-friendly. With delivery vehicles that independently distribute, place, and collect mobile locker stations, the Swiss powerhouse of ideas #rinspeed is presenting an exciting logistics concept.

The case study of one of the world's leading auditing and consulting firms examined the #rinspeed "CitySnap″ delivery concept in the context of the growing demand for logistics and developments in urban areas. The scenarios show - based on the fifty largest cities in Germany - an impressive savings potential. The use of the ingenious #rinspeed solution reduces the number of delivery vehicles required by up to 50 percent. In addition, this system saves six percent in CO2 emissions - per package! The "CitySnap" also offers considerable savings potential in terms of costs. Compared to conventional parcel delivery, it reduces the expenditure involved by around 17 percent per parcel, a cost advantage that consumers can benefit from. The increased productivity of the employees due to the eliminated time-consuming removal processes more than outweighs the additional costs for the mobile, interchangeable locker stations and the infrastructure.
