CargoBike study completed

This was demonstrated in a long-term study entitled "I relieve cities 2". After a project duration of  four years, the answer was a clear "yes". Both economic reasons and benefits for  people in cities, the climate and the environment speak in favor of using these vehicles.

Relieving congestion in city centers

For the project, DLR researchers accompanied more than 40 companies from the trades, commerce, and  logistics sectors. The companies used provided cargo bikes and light electric vehicles (LEVs) in their daily operations.  In total, more than 100,000 km were covered during the project.

In addition, the DLR team collected GPS trackingdata about its large-scale facility "MovingLab" and conducted numerous interviews with users. This  allowed them to gain detailed insights into when and why the use of these vehicles is successful – and what obstacles exist.

The DLR will present the results at an event and in a live stream on Thursday  in Berlin.
