To make the city sustainable, La Poste is also working to reduce noise pollution in the last kilometre (engine noise, tyre friction on cobbled roads, etc.). In particular, it has replaced internal combustion engines with electric/GNV vehicles, or upgraded them to meet the latest European "Euro" standards. In 2023, 28% of routes will be covered by soft modes of transport (pedestrians, bicycles and all electric vehicles), which produce no noise pollution.
La Poste is also positioning itself as a partner to local authorities in monitoring air quality. It relies on its vast postal network (vehicles and locations) and solutions based on sensors (fixed and mobile), enabling air quality to be monitored in real time, through its subsidiary Geoptis.
Since the end of 2019, Geopost has deployed sensors across Europe on its delivery fleet as well as in its urban depots and Pickup points. This programme has now been deployed in thirteen European cities (Lisbon, Paris, Madrid, etc.). A total of 1,100 sensors have been installed.
