Today we are at DHL in Zoetermeer, where six Fulpra cargobikes are now in use. DHL wants to use more and more cargobikes to replace their vans. We are here to see how this transition is going and why they chose Fulpra.
DHL began deploying Fulpra cargobikes at their City Hub in a suburb of Zoetermeer. Although Zoetermeer does not have a typical busy old city centre, the cargobike proved to be a good solution here too. Thanks to the cargobikes, they can easily navigate through residential areas without the parking problems that vans often face.
Efficient in residential areas
In a city like Zoetermeer, without the cramped and busy streets of a historic city centre, the cargobike still offers advantages. Indeed, our cargobikes are not only ideal for busy city centres, but also perfect for residential areas. They are agile, environmentally friendly and save time by being easy to stop and drive on again.
Why Fulpra?
We spoke to Aron van Leen from DHL. "Fulpra was chosen because of its combination of high payload capacity and sturdiness thanks to high-quality materials," Aron explains. "The choice of automotive quality instead of bicycle parts also played a role. This makes for a more reliable and durable solution."
With comfort delivery
During our visit, it started to rain quite a bit in Zoetermeer, even though this is not clearly visible in the photo. The delivery driver was able to continue cycling comfortably thanks to the large windshield and the roof over his head. This made delivery comfortable, regardless of the weather. Moreover, the parcels are easy to load and unload, making delivery quick and efficient. "The bike is easy to use and the packages are quick and convenient to load and unload," says the delivery driver enthusiastically. ''I don't have to walk into the back of a van now''
DHL in Zoetermeer is a great example of how our Fulpra cargobikes offer not only a sustainable, but also a practical solution to modern logistics challenges. We look forward to further cooperation and expansion of this efficient delivery solution.
