“DPD and Electric Assisted Vehicles Limited (EAV) have launched a sustainable initiative that will see parcels delivered by the new Project 1 (P1) e-cargo bike in July 2019. Launched at the eBike Summit in Oxford, UK on April 10 [2019], the new P1 scheme focuses on neutralizing DPD’s carbon footprint through the use of e-cargo bikes in the UK.” (Parcel and Post Technology International).

The electric bike, devised in Oxfordshire, is designed to carry many parcels that can be easily accessed. Such a zero-carbon vehicle will be useful in the Ultra Low Emission Zone in London and help other UK cities reduce carbon emissions. They will also assist the UK to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
