“…The authors explicitly recommend the application of the model in everyday life to model the formation of coalitions. According to [57], courier, express, and parcel companies are attempting to form joint delivery alliances (JDAs) in order to boost their earnings. The goal of their research is to create an incentive model that will motivate members to perform at their optimal level.…”

The scientific community has been addressing the topic of last-mile delivery for years. To improve parcel delivery efficiency, a variety of different technologies have been created. Over the past 15 years, the focus has shifted from the operational efficiency of the individual organization to restoring sustainability and making cities more livable. As a result of the increased environmental burden, governments are enacting a growing number of restrictive measures, which will intensify economic challenges. To remain competitive, more cost-effective solutions are required. The goal of this article is to examine the significance of collaboration between CEP partners based on scientific interest, with the help of a systematic literature review. This examination is important since, despite the fact that working together with other service providers and competitors could be a favorable option for last mile suppliers looking to improve their efficiency, results show little interest in this approach. Although this strategy appears straightforward due to the potential financial and environmental benefits, there are only a few examples of collaboration in the field of last mile parcel delivery according to the results of the review. Since cooperation seems to be an inevitable operating model of the CEP market in the future, it is of utmost importance for scientific research to investigate the factors hindering the development of cooperation.

“…Through unified planning and scheduling of deliveries from distribution centers, distribution to multiple customers using milk run can improve utilization efficiency of logistics vehicles and reduce the logistics operation cost through economies of scale. With increasing global attention to sustainable development, using joint distribution to reduce logistics cost and environmental cost is drawing attention and has become a promising direction for urban logistics development (Du et al , 2021; Liu et al , 2020). Nevertheless, most of the previous studies on joint distribution focus on reduction in operating cost only.…”

“…Although joint distribution has developed in China in recent years, there are still some problems to be addressed in theoretical and practical research. For example, most express delivery enterprises have not yet developed among themselves effective joint distribution cooperation (Du et al , 2021). Facility location planning of express terminals for joint distribution networks is still being explored (He et al , 2017).…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the use of joint distribution to reduce environmental cost of express delivery in urban logistics. Design/methodology/approach An optimization model was developed to help design the joint distribution network. A real case in Songjiang University Town of Shanghai, China, was used to explore empirically the potential benefit of the design. Performance of the proposed joint distribution was compared with that of the current distribution design using separate deliveries. Findings The findings show that, using joint distribution in express delivery, a significant saving in economic cost (up to a reduction of 25%) and environmental cost (up to a reduction of 87%) can be achieved. Research limitations/implications This study provides a reference for joint distribution network design for last-mile delivery in urban logistics. Practical implications Express delivery companies can explore the use of joint distribution to reduce operating cost and increase distribution efficiency of the industry. Social implications Joint distribution can facilitate maximization of vehicle utilization and reduction of delivery trips. This will help reduce fuel consumption, carbon emission, as well as other externalities, such as noise and traffic congestion. Originality/value Research in joint distribution to date focuses mainly on reduction in operating cost only. Consideration of environmental impact is relatively limited. This paper fills the gap in the literature by using a real case to illustrate the significant benefit of joint distribution in reducing the negative impact of urban logistics on the environment.

Motivating active participation in e-commerce logistics alliances to enhance delivery efficiency and customer satisfaction has long been a societal interest. Leveraging the quantum game theory, this paper develops a model for incentivizing collaboration within these alliances. This model enables theoretical and numerical analysis of members’ strategies and entanglement levels. The findings show that quantum strategies increase members’ profits, achieving Nash equilibriums and Pareto optimal outcomes, outperforming the classical game theory. In addition, the size of quantum entanglement emerges as a critical determinant influencing members’ active participation in collaborative distribution. Strengthening information sharing and aligning interests can enhance entanglement levels among members, making them more inclined to adopt strategies promoting active involvement in collaborative distribution. Moreover, members can adapt their strategies based on the initial entanglement in collaborative distribution, thereby incentivizing participation and reducing ethical risks. In conclusion, through numerical analysis, we present relevant strategies and recommendations for incentivizing collaborative distribution within e-commerce logistics alliances.
