DISCOVER THE LINKY CAMPAIGN

In the transportation and mobility industry, the term "last mile" refers to the distance from a transportation hub (e.g. station) to the final destination, and in even simpler words, the last short stretch of a very long journey (which can include national or international distances).
On average, the distance travelled to get around the city is only 7 km but the way of getting around the city is changing.
In fact, less and less people use public transport because often the distance between the point of arrival and the point of departure makes it inefficient to move, causing in addition a worsening of daily life.
These are the two main drivers of the growth of personal electric mobility (thanks to means such as hoverboards, folding bikes or longboards) that involves 50 million people.
In this sense, it is significant the growing interest of Italian and European politics that are working on legislation to regularize this type of vehicles, as already happened in California between 2015 and 2016.
