The new world is coming soon,that anyone of us will not hand over the hand-packs. The new company of consulting management McKinsey conducted a survey which examined the responses of 4,700 respondents from the US, Germany and China. In some of cases your own wheels will offer same day delivery, even in remote areas.
#A growing group of consumers desires faster home delivery, yet most remain highlyprice sensitive
During this research almost 25 percent of consumers are willing to pay significant premiums for the privilege of same-day or instant delivery. This share is likely to increase, given that younger consumers are more inclined. These results are generally consistent across all three countries surveyed and across all product groups, but with different orders of magnitude.
Chinese consumers, for example, are significantly more open to innovation than their North American or German contemporaries. Furthermore,consumers’ willingness to pay for fast delivery when purchasing groceries is markedly higher than, e.g., for apparel. To our surprise, only a minority of respondents indicated to opt for unattended delivery.
#Description of Autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) with lockers
AGVs deliver parcels without any human intervention. Customers are notified of the exact arrival time. Upon arrival at their door, customers are asked to pick up the parcel from the specified locker mounted on the van or truck – picture a mobile parcel locker. Granted, such vehicles would need to be supervised. We assume that a central supervisor could manage roughly eight to ten AGVs. Incredible potential of this product that will change the lives of many people in the future, focusing on zero km logistics nearest to consumers.
