The global market for last mile delivery vehicles is expected to grow by more than ten per cent by the end of this decade. The skateboard architecture, or skateboard platform, originated with General Motors in the early 2000s. At the heart of the skateboard architecture is a modular platform resembling a skateboard deck, upon which all major vehicle components are mounted. Last mile delivery vehicles are less likely to face issues with range anxiety as they are travelling shorter distances in urban environments. Many new entrants in this market are focusing on a particular segment, with last mile delivery arguably the current frontrunner.
