COVID-19 has brought about a substantial change in urban mobility, as well as an unprecedented increase in e-commerce throughout the world due to the emergence of new ways of shopping and consumption habits. In this context, urban logistics plays a crucial role in the triple bottom line of sustainability. The present document establishes a holistic vision of the problem aiming to (i) measure and compare the traffic generated in the Madrid Central area (low-emission zone) during the periods before and after the pandemic, and (ii) quantify e-commerce orders made by residents, as well as the Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) required to deliver these parcels, measuring their environmental impact. The results show that road traffic in the Madrid Central area decreased by approximately 2/3 compared to normal levels and 1/2 in the case of LCVs. With regards to e-commerce, the number of parcels delivered doubled. This fact entailed an increase in the number of LVCs dedicated to package delivery in the central district and more pollution, but to a lesser extent than the growth of e-commerce. The challenge faced by urban logistics in the post-Covid era is managing to blend new mobility within large cities with the high volumes of e-commerce deliveries demanded by residents.

出行限制和电子商务：COVID-19锁定期间马德里中心的整体平衡

由于出现了新的购物和消费方式，COVID-19带来了城市交通的重大变化，以及电子商务在全球范围内的空前增长。在这种情况下，城市物流在可持续发展的三重底线中起着至关重要的作用。本文件对这一问题建立了全面的看法，旨在（一）衡量和比较大流行前后大马德里中部地区（低排放区）产生的交通，以及（二）量化电子商务订单居民以及运送这些包裹所需的轻型商用车（LCV）来衡量其对环境的影响。结果表明，马德里中部地区的道路交通量与正常水平相比减少了大约2/3，而轻型商用车则减少了1/2。在电子商务方面，交付的包裹数量增加了一倍。这一事实导致致力于在中部地区运送包裹的LVC数量增加，污染增加，但程度不及电子商务的增长。在后Covid时代，城市物流面临的挑战是设法将大城市中的新出行方式与居民所要求的大量电子商务交付相结合。
