TL;DW: Vox details all the reasons why a large fraction, if not a majority, of urban deliveries can and should be delivered by cargo e-bikes instead of delivery vans.

Yes. Some solutions here are engine bad, human body good. My city delivered bikes to people that used carriage for transporting recycling material. If it wasn’t the city hall incentive and extra money in order to the change to be made, these people would starve themselves. They need to make physical effort all around town gathering materials and be in a position that they wouldn’t be able to carry the weight if they had a carriage. Thankfully, some mayor had good intentions with the people and the horses. Now take that into picture with how > distribution centers work, how much online shopping a town makes and how much a person would need to ride and carry weight, with sun, rain, etc. Just insane, dude.
