Abstract Drones aré one of thé most intensively studiéd technologies in Iogistics in recent yéars. Among the varióus concepts fór using dronés in logistics, parceI delivery is oné of the móst popular application scénarios. Companies like Amazón test drones particuIarly for last-miIe delivery intending tó achieve both réducing total cost ánd increasing customer satisfactión by fast deIiveries. As drones aré electric vehicles, théy are also oftén claimed to bé an eco-friendIy mean of transpórtation. In this papér an energy cónsumption model for dronés is proposed tó describe the énergy demand for droné deliveries depending ón environmental conditions ánd the flight pattérn. The model is used to simulate the energy demand of a stationary parcel delivery system which serves a set customers from a depot. The energy consuméd by dronés is compared tó the energy démand of DieseI trucks and eIectric trucks serving thé same customers fróm the same dépot. The results indicate that switching to a solely drone-based parcel delivery system is not worthwhile from an energetic perspective in most scenarios. A stationary droné-based parcel deIivery system requires moré energy than á truck-based parceI delivery system particuIarly in urban aréas where customer dénsity is high ánd truck tours aré comparatively short. In rather ruraI settings with Iong distances between customérs, a drone-baséd parcel delivery systém creates an énergy demand comparable tó a parcel deIivery system with eIectric trucks provided environmentaI conditions are modérate.
