Last-mile delivery is at the heart of urban transport transformation. Faced with the rapid spread of Low Emission Zones (LEZ) and new restrictions on access to city centres, transport professionals are seeking alternatives to complement the light commercial vehicle. SOLUTRANS responds by dedicating a full space to cargo bikes, integrated within the Road Testing Village.]

Cargo bikes and urban delivery: a solution gaining real traction

Capable of completing city centre deliveries up to 1.6 times faster than a standard van, and with a significantly lower carbon footprint, cargo bikes have established themselves as the leading alternative solution tested and deployed by urban delivery professionals. For 12% of industry players, last-mile logistics is now the sector's top challenge.

The goal is not to replace the light commercial vehicle, but to pair it with a complementary tool, adapted to today's regulatory and urban constraints. A complementarity that SOLUTRANS highlights through a dedicated space.

Cargo bikes and urban logistics: a dedicated space within the Road Testing Village

The SOLUTRANS Cargo Bike Zone brings together around thirty specialist companies representing the entire two-wheeled cargo mobility ecosystem:

  • Manufacturers and builders of electric and manual cargo bikes
  • Equipment suppliers and accessory providers (cargo boxes, loading systems, safety equipment)
  • Fleet operators and rental solutions
  • Management software and urban route optimisation tools

Integrated within the Road Testing Village, this zone features a dedicated track where vehicles can be tested in conditions that closely mirror real urban use: slopes, tight corners, narrow lanes. Because a vehicle is never bought from a catalogue.
