Commercial cargo bikes

With the "flottes Gewerbe" project, the city of Aachen wants to support the commercial use of cargo bikes. The core of the project is a test format for commercial cargo bikes in order to raise awareness of the variety of applications for commercial cargo bikes and to test their use in a specific context.

Fast-paced trade

Contribution to climate protection

"Flottes Gewerbe" is carried out by cargobike.jetzt GmbH on behalf of the city of Aachen and is aimed specifically at companies and businesses based in Aachen. Regardless of whether they are an electrician, carpenter, bakery, gardener, social care service or sports club, cargo bikes have the potential to replace commercial car or van journeys in the city area and can thus make a contribution to climate protection. The advantages for companies: Traffic jams can be avoided, finding a parking space is much easier and even trainees are mobile with cargo bikes. Many transports can be handled with less stress.

However, it is currently difficult for businesses and companies to test different cargo bikes without obligation, to find the right cargo bike for their own requirements and also to obtain quickly available and reliable service and maintenance offers for the vehicles.

This is where the "flottes Gewerbe" project comes in. As part of the project, selected, interested businesses, tradespeople or companies - the so-called test pioneer companies - receive sound advice and are provided with a cargo bike that meets their individual requirements free of charge for a test period of five weeks. Because nothing is more convincing than a successful trial! Service, maintenance, insurance and logistics are all included, so the test pioneers don't have to worry about a thing.
