About this Event
- What are the benefits for businesses that use e-cargo bike services?
- What are the challenges and opportunities facing operators running those services?
- What has changed as a result of Covid-19, and how does that leave the current state of this market?
- How can we use evidence from tracking systems to plan cities where cargo bikes can operate more safely and efficiently?
- How does this all fit with Government initiatives to support e-cargo bikes and what more does Government need to do?
- What can we learn from relevant experience beyond the UK?
- What does all this mean for the wider logistics sector?
This webinar will explore some of these challenges as well as the opportunities for cycle logistics through expert speakers and a wide audience of decision makers, business representatives and transport planners.
