Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010064060A1] A parcel distribution system with special emphasis on a rational system avoiding delays e.g. caused by repeated sorting steps and reloading of trucks and containers. A hub-and-spoke topology is being used as the backbone of the distribution system according to the invention, which means that all sorting is performed in the hub or central terminal only. Containers to be loaded with the sorted parcels are oriented across the length of the truck bed for entering parcels from at least one lateral side of the truck bed.
