Implementation of mobile distribution mini-poles
Propulsion Québec’s mobile mini-distribution hub project aims to install 7 containers, each housing 2 mobile mini-distribution hubs, for a total of 14 mini-distribution hubs in three strategic boroughs of Montreal, in order to optimize last-mile logistics and reduce GHG emissions.

Electrifying urban deliveries
Implementation of mini-mobile distribution hubs for electrified urban delivery
In addition to reducing GHG emissions in the boroughs of Rosemont, Ville-Marie and Verdun, the project is helping to develop local expertise in sustainable urban logistics. Propulsion Québec’s ambition is to collect data on the effectiveness of mini-poles in various urban contexts, and to share these learnings with industry and municipalities in order to promote widespread dissemination of best practices and create synergy between the various players.

Quote from Propulsion Québec’s general management
The Greater Montreal Climate Fund has joined forces with Propulsion Québec’s project to test zero-emission delivery hubs, to enable carriers to continue developing carbon-free last-mile delivery solutions in high-density areas where urban logistics often generate congestion and pollutant emissions. This work is essential to support cities across the country in their efforts to deploy safer, more breathable environments for their fellow citizens.
