"Let's replace the delivery of the city from a car to a bicycle!" Cargo bikes become heroes in a decarbonized society.
Became the leading role in a decarbonized society. What are bicycles and cargo bikes for carrying luggage?
▲Cargo bike races were also held at the Messenger World Congress (CMWC) held in Yokohama in September 2023, and athletes who regularly deliver cargo bikes gathered from all over the world to compete on the technology with various types of cargo motorcycles.
Rooted in Nishi Ward Tobe for 20 years, Crio City Co., Ltd. has been working toward the realization of a decarbonized society centered on the bicycle service business called Cycle Messenger.
Well, in fact, more than 10 years ago, Crio City has been using cargo bikes as a delivery bicycle.
Cargo bikes, which can carry a lot of luggage, can be replaced by the role of cars that require gasoline and electricity, and efforts are being made mainly in cities around the world, especially in Western Europe.
▲Cargo bikes vary in shape, but this type allows you to drive smoothly even if you carry more than 70 kg of luggage.
Is it possible to create a decarbonized town by making the city center of Yokohama a special zone for bicycle delivery?
Currently, Crio City operates daily cargo motorcycles from around Minatomirai and Yokohama Station in Nishi Ward to the Kannai and Yamashitacho areas in Naka Ward to deliver efficient and effective decarbonization instead of trucks and vans.
The area is densely packed with buildings, so you can deliver it by bicycle even if you are not a car. Also, in Europe's decarbonization promotion cities, we have set restrictions on automobile intrusion in the center of the city and are steadily switching from truck delivery to cargo motorcycle delivery.
If these activities spread from Yokohama to cities in Japan, they will naturally lead to the development of a sustainable solution to decarbonization and climate crisis.
