PostNL delivers parcels every day in historic city centres, including areas that are completely car-free or have very low traffic. In these parts of the city, the Fulpra replaces the delivery van on a one-to-one basis, operating across several shifts each day and being restocked via a city hub close to the city centre.

The challenge

• Historic city centres with car-free and low-traffic zones
• Vans are not allowed in these areas.
• The central distribution point is located 15 km outside the city.
• Delivery needs to run across multiple shifts per day

The solution

In car-free and low-traffic neighbourhoods, the Fulpra replaces the delivery van on a one-to-one basis. As the central distribution point is situated 15 km outside the city, the Fulpra bikes are restocked for the afternoon and evening shifts at a city hub close to the delivery area. This ensures that delivery capacity is maintained, even during multiple shifts per day.

Results

By using a city hub, PostNL maintains delivery capacity throughout the day in low-traffic and car-free city centres, without delivery vans having to enter these areas. The Fulpra completely replaces the delivery van in these zones.
