- Amazon is setting up a new concept in London.
- Around 5 million deliveries need to be made in London every year by cargo bike or on foot.
- The group also intends to use more electric trucks.
In London, the online mail-order company Amazon is launching a new concept of micromobility. Instead of using conventional delivery vehicles, many shipments have to be delivered using an unusually designed four-wheel electric bicycle with a roof. Foot delivery is also planned in the Hackney district, which is in a strict environmental zone.
Eye-catching e-cargo bikes look like shrunken vans and are approved as e-bikes. They do not drive faster than 25 km/h and depend on the active pedaling of the driver.

The group also recently purchased five all-electric trucks. The 37 tonnes will replace diesel trucks in the UK and help meet the company’s green targets.
