OUR MISSION To encourage widespread use of e-cargobikes as a last-mile delivery method. To offer to grocers and retailers an environmentally and financially sustainable alternative to fossil-fuelled vehicles when making B2C deliveries in high-density urban areas. To reduce inner city pollution levels by reducing the number of fossil-fuelled vehicles on the road. To raise awareness of the true environmental and social costs of the decisions we make, and to provide the means by which the public can influence the decisions grocers and retailers make on the products and services they offer. To promote the benefits of cycling and cycling proficiency. To show that a fairly treated and fully employed workforce is not a barrier to profitability. To increase society’s awareness of the environmental and social issues we all face, and to inspire the communities within which our hubs operate to contribute to solutions that address these issues. OUR VISION Following large-scale trials, we have proved beyond doubt that e-cargobikes are commercially viable and can deliver more for less. In the coming months we want to see the majority of delivery vans on our streets replaced by zero-emission e-cargobikes. Reducing pollution and congestion will bring health benefits and improved quality of life. We are starting with London, and will then expand nationally to other cities and towns with high-density urban populations. We are a socially responsible business. We will show that success is not measured by profit alone; and that doing the best for all stakeholders (our clients, our staff, and the wider community) and operating a profitable business, need not be mutually exclusive aspirations.
