UK students win Toyota Logistics Design award

25 July 2018

The winning design was AL.PACKER by Hannah Rayner and Matt Putman from Loughborough University, an application that provides a socially sustainable solution to last-mile package delivery.

It abandons the traditional supply chain and introduces a micro-entrepreneur third stakeholder that is guaranteed to accept the delivery.

Logiconomi is the word Toyota Material Handling uses to describe its way of thinking - aiming for lean processes, eliminating waste, maximising efficiency and reducing cost. All with the help of innovation and collaboration with like-minded partners.

First launched in 2014, the design competition was initiated to open a dialogue with young designers and welcome fresh ideas. This third edition plays into the trend of consumers not only making decisions online, but also buying online more and more. As e-commerce is becoming the norm, a fast delivery time has become an absolute priority, but is not always a reality due to underlying factors such as traffic.
