European Cycle Logistics Federation (EU)
In July 2012 more than 30 companies from across Europe joined forces to form the European Cycle Logistics Federation. The group aims to improve urban delivery and will act as a lobby group to promote cycle based delivery solutions.
The federation has come about in wake of the EU-funded Cycle Logistics project, which gathers key players in the field to promote cycle based delivery solutions. According to research undertaken by the project, 50% of all light goods, and 25% of all goods could be moved by cycle. Similar studies in Breda (the Netherlands) have found that of the 1900 trucks that go in everyday, less than 10% of the cargo being delivered requires a truck and 40% of deliveries involve one box.
The Cycle Logistics Federation plans to meet on a regular basis to discuss how to get even more goods out of trucks and onto bicycles.
Information about the Federation will be available on the Cycle Logistics website. www.cyclelogistics.eu
