Amazon has announced plans to use electric bicycles as mobile vehicles for delivery. First, we will start using electric trucks and bicycles in Hackney, a special ward in London, England, and aim to use them to deliver 1 million pieces of luggage to customers annually. According to Amazon, thousands of traditional truck deliveries will be replaced by electric bike deliveries.
Please note that Amazon's carbon-neutral efforts will only take place in areas that are less than one-tenth of the ultra-low emission zone in London. This zone imposes toll payments on vehicles that do not meet certain emission regulations, but electric vehicles and bicycles are not charged.
The electric bicycle used by Amazon has a cover in the front and a loading platform for storing luggage in the back, and it looks like a pizza delivery bike. This kind of 'delivery vehicle designed to make an electric bicycle look like a mini truck' is becoming more and more popular among environmentally friendly delivery companies.
Amazon says it plans to expand the area of use for electric bicycles in the coming months. Amazon already operates 1000 electric trucks in the United Kingdom and plans to introduce a new Rivian electric van in the United States in the second half of 2022.
The use of electric bikes in delivery is becoming more widespread, FedEx is leveraging electric bikes in London, and Domino Pizza has partnered with Rad Power Bikes , a delivery service that uses electric bikes, for pizza in several cities. We carry out delivery. In addition, delivery companies such as UPS and DPD are using electric bicycles, and in New York, USA, most of the drivers who deliver food are using electric bicycles.
In Japan, Yamato Holdings has started a demonstration experiment of collection and delivery using a three-wheeled electric bicycle in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture from November 2020.
