At PostNL in Ghent, they are fully committed to sustainable delivery. They now use three Fulpra cargobikes, while their location in The Hague already has two. The aim is to replace more and more delivery vans with these efficient bikes. Today, we visit this progressive location to see how they are tackling this transition.
Active in Belgium
PostNL is a familiar name in the Netherlands, but also plays an important role in Belgium. Every day, they deliver thousands of parcels across the country. The Fulpra cargobikes help them make these logistics operations even more efficient and sustainable.
Fulpra in Ghent
Inner cities are becoming increasingly difficult for vans to reach. This also applies to Ghent, where PostNL now uses our cargobikes. These bikes are perfect for the city's narrow streets and busy areas. They make it possible to navigate the city faster and without problems, leading to more efficient deliveries.
Scaling up briskly
Belgium's inner cities are fast closing their doors to traditional delivery vehicles. PostNL is responding by scaling up considerably with cargobikes. "The innovation of delivery vehicles is declining, while cargobikes continue to develop and improve," says a PostNL spokesperson. The challenges of congestion and parking problems in inner cities, as well as restrictions due to laws and regulations, make the switch to cargobikes a logical choice.
Space for Fulpra
There is still plenty of room for Fulpra to expand further in Belgian cities. Our cargobikes offer many advantages:
Sustainability: Reducing CO2 emissions and contributing to cleaner cities.
Efficiency: Fast and easy manoeuvring through busy city centres, leading to faster deliveries.
Cost savings: Lower operational costs due to reduced fuel consumption and parking problems.
Reliability: High loading capacity and quality vehicles.
"Fulpra was chosen because of the large volume the bike can carry and the quality of the vehicle, which gives confidence in the supplier," said a PostNL representative. With these advantages in mind, it is clear that Fulpra is a valuable partner for companies looking to make their logistics processes more sustainable. PostNL Ghent is a perfect example of this, and we look forward to expanding this partnership further in cities across Belgium.
