Companies in urban areas tend to require frequent, small deliveries of merchandise and other goods from the city outskirts and beyond. That's a recipe for inefficiency, traffic congestion and pollution, as so many delivery trucks make their way in and out of town with partial loads again and again. A significant amount of small-scale delivery traffic by light commercial vehicles is produced by business-to-business and business-to-customer activities including express-delivery and package-delivery services.
