AB  - This article analyzes, in an empirical way, the consequences of an “uberization” of logistics, based on the case of the Île-de-France region. Our work is based on several in-depth interviews with some of the actors of this transformation, startups founders, firm directors, couriers, and also based on a database which we have developed about said actors. This approach enables us to understand both the current transformations and the actors’ logic which underpin these dynamics. We demonstrate that uberization dynamics are focusing on the most urban part of the logistic chains and the deliveries, while its impact on the part corresponding to the huge suburban distribution centers is very limited. This phenomenon would have social and sociological consequences which impact not only delivery drivers (the latter often being subcontractors) but also intermediary jobs and top managers. This dynamic would increase the territorial and social fragmentation of the logistics system between “ubered” logistics activities and more traditional logistic ones.
