The Future Of Urban Delivery Is Electric Cargo Bikes

- DHL Express, the world's leading international express services provider, is piloting a new City Hub concept that will enable increased use of cargo bicycles for inner-city deliveries. The City Hub is a customized trailer which can carry up to four containers for the DHL Cubicycle, a customized cargo bicycle which can carry a container with a load of up to 125 kg (one cubic meter in volume). A DHL van delivers the trailer into the city center, where the containers can be quickly loaded on to two Cubicyles for last-mile inner-city delivery. It can then be reloaded for outbound shipments. The solution significantly reduces emissions by minimizing the mileage and time spent on the road by standard delivery vehicles. Each City Hub can replace up to two standard delivery vehicles, with an equivalent CO2saving of over sixteen tons per year and a significant reduction in other emissions
And in the UK the Post Office ditched its bikes in favour of small diesel vans for last mile type delivery - amazing foresight there. The bikes haven't gone to waste though - being re-fitted as the latest in practical cycling
Hell yea that sounds like a chill job. Easy to stay in shape!
Exactly. I'd ditch my well-paid office IT job at any time for this. When I think about it, maybe I should create a company that does this. Package delivery has always been a pain whenever I'm waiting for something or sending something.
Phoenix wow you must be a full blown idiot
@@anthonyi220 go watch some documentary about delivery guy of DHL. It's definitely slave job in modern times
@@tictactoe101 slaves never got paid and can never just quit a job if they did not like it. The only people equating this to slave labor are lazy and dumb fucks.
Outstanding! I can't wait to see this in my town.
for short run like pizza delivery within 5 miles... yep, those and similar size/power vehicles will be great.
I'd look into putting a weather protection shell on them so your delivery people don't get sick from riding the things in the rain.
F Huber a fairing would also make it more aerodynamic. 😀
They use this here in Frankfurt. Love it! Combined with the new dhl e cars.
Wow, I'm a truck driver. If I could work for a company that had these. I would quit my job in a heart beat and go work for the company that had these cargo bikes.
You must work for the department of redundancy department...
Be interested to see how it'd handle a 40 footer.......
Reminds me of the Suburba-car, which blueprints for exist in a mid-60's issue of Popular Mechanics.
These are common in Beijing. Have been since I first went there in 2010.
Yes, these are common in all China, I cant understand why they talk about future. thats a lie!
@Love All Why are you insulting ?
well, a soft roof to have better protection against elements would be nice. Especially when riding in more horizontal position like in those bikes.
Deliver post by bicycles for the last kilometers has a long tradition in Germany.
This has some quite substantial cost savings from taxes, fuel, maintenance. In summer teens could ride those to make them more efficient due to weight reduction. In future, it could be possible to automate it without a rider - just a moving smart-shelf which can be open by phone using NFC.
Other delivery vehicle ideas - the Organic Transit solar/human powered ELF as shown in my avatar. This has been used for light deliveries with zero emissions. And the new Arcimoto high speed electric trike with 2 wheels in front has a cargo version going into production soon as well as a pickup bed version. I placed my deposit a year ago and expect delivery early 2021.
Might be a while before that concept is acceptable in the U.S. I think its a great idea. Before retirement in early 1990 my department had police officers on bicycles patrolling. Great for stealth and tactical advantage, keeps officers in shape, less money spent on transportation and utilized in other budgetary areas.

Bike cops are nowhere to be seen today.
All cops drive SUV, even on a bike trail today.
I really like this concept. Very flexible for congested areas. I hope they are taking in the fact of more stuff on the vehicle the slower the driver/ rider can move. That big cargo box looks way heavier than Needs to be. I agree with a comment of a cab of clear plastic for inclement weather but removable in better weather. Would be a challenge on windy days. But, a very good concept
Impressive, smart, and good job!!!!!!!!
This is a life saver when you need one the most!
I need one bike like that !!
It's a very good concept, although I think the vehicles should also provide shelter to the cyclers against the elements, just like a regular van does. It can't be that hard to design a lightweight type of "cab" right? With or without doors. On hot days it could still always be removed.
There is a cap available just look up armadillo
As soon as these are open for public purchase, best expect a flood of CZcams videos on your feed with the title “My life living in an Electric Cargo Bike”. Not gonna lie... I’d watch them all.
The aluminium forward restraint doesn't look strong enough to prevent the load moving forward and striking the driver in the spine in the event of a head on collision with the rear of another vehicle.
I believe that city cars should be just as light and safe for others. 200-400 kg of weight with a battery for 4 passengers, length 2-2.5 m, speed controlled by a lever - 20, 30, 40 km / h, possibly similar to a golf car. Current cars weighing 1.5-2 tons, 4-5 meters long and with a speedometer of 250 km / h are not at all suitable for safe driving around the city.
OTOH, vehicles such as seen in this video, as well as the Dutch bakfiets, are useless when deliveries must be made to customers a hundred km away ... or in very hilly country ... or in sleet and ice. Those are the conditions which prevail in most all of Canada, and where some half the US population lives.
the driver needs a cabin you can take off in good weather
needs vitamin D
@@gabydewilde hhhhhh
And surround sound, and cup holders?
It is possible to have tricycle more comfortable as the Yokler but, as a minimalist vehicle, this one is quite good
@@chalocolina3554 also engine with fossil fuels?
Nice ! a removable rain shield is missing ^^
In Boston, there was a story in the Globe about how a single UPS truck got over a thousand tickets in the space of a year.
I have a friend who does inner city catering using a seatpost mounted trailer.
Pissing down with rain snow sleet
Yeah gonna love that job
В дождь кайф на таком ездить, но наверное лучше, чем идти пешком
Many bicycle courier companies in the states folded when companies like Amazon cut pay for deliveries and companies like eat 24 offered to take over logistics and declared bankruptcy dragging the companies they contracted with down with them.
Just think of how much cheaper the Velove Armadillo could be if it were manufactured here in America, or even Canada.
WTG DHL, maybe being such a big shipping company they can figure out how to sell more of these to the rest of us, larger production runs would lead to lower costs, for everyone.
UPS is soon to start using this type of system on a test scale in Seattle and Portland, using the Truck Trike made by Stites Design in Portland.
Bravo....! Congratulations....
Those are soo cool. I want one and turn it into a camper 👍
I started my job in a company and I transport stuff from bakeries to hotel on e bike with a cabin behind. 25 km / h is the max speed
The cargo box, and the weight, can be lowered at least 6 inches by lowering the rails the boxes sit on. I would not be happy if I had to ride one of these in the rain while being completely exposed. A windshield and roof at least would help a lot and not add more than 5 kilos. Other than those things, it looks great to me. I may buy one and make it into a camper.
I would like to have one of them!
Nice idea...👍👍👍
I live in Munich and i have never seen this version till date and this video was uploaded in 2017. I have sen UPS version tho
good job DHL!
buenas tardes soy de venezuela estoy por un prototipo similar pero de verdad me gustaria saber o mejor dicho q me orientaran en el conjunto de engranaje por mas q busco la manera de buscarle la logica de lo q es cargar peso y q no reduzca velocidad eso es lo que no estoy muy acorde es posible q me podria ayudar en este caso y bueno de verdad me gustato mucho el prototipo de ustedes el color llama la atencion mucho la combinacion y aparte de eso paca choque delatero se ve muy bueno me gusto bueno sin mas q decir me despido y espero su respuesta lo mas pronto posible
Europe = Ready for this
North America = That was a weird speed bump
different densities
Europe: I have to get one!
North America: Let's check out atomiczombie.com and get plans to build an alternative.
Lindo equipamento não existe no Brasil

Cool idea.
Are they doing this anywhere in the USA yet?
One step in the right direction.
I would like to see this adopted in Canadian cities.
Nice. How long are you going to hide that battery production pollutes more than the use of oil?
I want one, the newest mini house
Yeah same
Exactly, that is the reason i been scanning the web looking for a company who builds 4 wheeled electric assist peddle trucks. And then i seen this but i don't know the company involved in building them yet. This could be easily converted into a electric assist peddle mini motorhome with solar panels, etc...
Just think of how many people wouldn't be homeless if we had these , no license needed, no insurance required, nothing. All those people who knows they will be losing their homes could just buy one for emergency.
I mainly want to do it to get the ideal out there. And to go camping with it. But it could save lives too. I could even use the truck as is for my business.
I could do my shopping in that.. and get slightly fitter while doing it.
what if i want to buy one for personal use
Pay more money to the couriers instead of CEOs. In my town they are under payed and consequently have low motivation.
But I love that everything is done to try and make the delivery better!
Realy cool!
Pedal-driven delivery van.
Fred Flintstone lives!
How it backward mechanism ?
Love this concept of this bike.
But it needs a over head fold away rooftop to keep the biker out of the rain .
Rain is not that big of a hassle if you have the right equipment, you can go even with snow. It's actually nice sometimes because it keeps you from overheating
Great design...good job👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
I think in parts of Canada this would be a great idea
What is the price of the bike and the shipping to big island hawaii maui
how do you stop people from stelling it?
It all comes down to reliability and ease of maintenance.
SO they need 4 people to do the work of 1? I am sure that will be fun with the temp is -20 or +100f
gary s good for future
@@yashtharma4645 good for communism and made up jobs for wealth redistribution
wow!!! I hope they come to Mexico City soon!
simply amazing
good health coverage and workers comp..I'm game...base pay??
I work at a "U", that's tried the bike delivery in mailing, in the past four months five 'drivers' have quit, that's the entire bike program, and base pay was a few cents an hour above Jimmy Johns, but with tips JJ you make more.
i've worked for Deutsche Post for two years but only once drove an electric bike :/ unfortunatly last year the bicycle district even got removed.
I wanna see these in my neighborhood 😊
We're can I get one of those
Actually and excellent idea .
Bagaimana cara membuatnya dan detail konstruksinya, adakah penjelasannya atau gambarnya
Wow!
Yo quiero una de esas *_camionicletas._*
very good
Dude, this has 20 years. You can see in big cities that all big companies deliver with electric mini trucks. I've seen that since 1995 in Santiago Chile and it has been since 2000 in Denmark with electric bikes
Europe is already ready for this. In my country we still fling parcels inside trucks.
I like that work
I want to know the company who built those electric assist peddle trucks.
Will my package still make it on time?
No Brasil Não Tem.. Quando Vai Chegar Quadriciclo Ou Trike - Triciclo Reclinado No Brasil ????
qnd impostos abaixar
gr8 idea
That have to be for local areas and summer time
Donde consigo uno de estos díganme. Saludos desde México
more logical for more hand held size deliveries
I remember when dhl came to the US.....then packed up and left 3 weeks later lol
Wesley Jackson DHL was founded in the USA ☝🏼
It's possible buy it?
I would to see them to do this on up hill streets like Dan Francisco.
Excelente 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🌎

Qual é o preço dessa bike?
I WANT ONE!

Super Idee!
Alguém sabe prfv me dizer o nome dessas bike top
El trabajo que yo deseo ❤️
I think it's an excellent idea.
OK for local deliveries, but not inter-city or rural.
Estou aguardando essa novidade aqyi no Brasil. Quero ser o primeiro funcionário!
Adoraria implantar no Brasil como posso fazer?
**I hope it improves DHL delivery time???

Kudos to DHL
