New revolutionary project launched: E-bike Delivery
Packeta launches a new project riding the sustainable wave: delivery on electric bikes!
The main focus of this project is lowering the carbon footprint which is a huge topic within our sustainability mission. When delivering via bikes, we can also reach customers unreachable otherwise.
Parcel delivery via bikes is now a common standard in the world and we want to bring the same here. Bike delivery is an environmentally friendly way of parcel delivery that has proven excellent, especially for last-mile delivery. And what´s more, equipped with bikes we can reach customers unreachable by car—for example those who live in historical parts of towns.
Bike Delivery
In April 2022, we tested bike delivery for the first time.
☻ Compared to regular delivery by car, the e-bike daily saves 10,4 kg CO2e.
☻ The parcel storage box at the front of the bike has a capacity of 380 liters which stands for approximately 50 medium-sized parcels.
☻ The bike alone with an empty storage box weighs about 200 kilos.
Couriers on e-bikes
Our couriers have a full day ahead when delivering on our e-bikes because riding a bike and delivering parcels in a busy metropolitan city is not as easy as it might seem.
☻ Couriers on bikes can deliver between 60 to 70 parcels a day.
☻ They can cover up to 80 kilometers.
☻ Currently, we are using the e-bike delivery for last-mile home delivery across Prague 15 with expansion plans for June 2022.
