Trucks have their uses, but you run into problems with them in cities. Think of the stories you hear about trucks double parking in NYC, and the crackdowns on that there.
The advantage of this seems to be that it’s narrow. You’ll probably be able to take them onto bike paths and into pedestrianized areas easier, and have fewer problems parking them.
Yes, they’re not a great solution for deliveries to a suburban stroad. But equally, a truck is a terrible delivery vehicle in downtown Barcelona.

Man, you need to deliver a bunch of packages to a bunch of people quickly? Have I got the invention for you - it’s called a truck!
Even better, a milk float!

That’s completely fair. I bet there are plenty of dense urban last mile use cases for this thing
