THE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS

THE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS WAY TO GET ABOUT THE CITY

MAKING CARGO TRANSPORT AS EASY AS RIDING A BIKE. THE UM CARGOBIKE IS TOMORROW’S ENERGY-EFFICIENT TRANSPORTER.

Climate protection and carbon neutrality are the most important issues of our times. The online shopping boom, which intensified due to the coronavirus pandemic, has made them even more critical, both worldwide and especially here in Germany. The consequences of the growing delivery traffic in cities are rising carbon dioxide and noise pollution for residents and gridlocked city centres.

Environmentally responsible urban logistics

Cities and local authorities are looking for solutions to tackle the congestion caused by trucks and passenger vehicles in inner cities. This calls for new mobility concepts, in particular for transporting the continually growing volumes of parcel and food deliveries. The need for action is even more pressing due to the access restrictions barring trucks and diesel vehicles from certain streets in urban areas and the reallocation of car lanes to cycle traffic. But how are parcels to be distributed in cities and delivered to end customers?

Urban Mobility’s vision is a new mobile world, one that is environmentally friendly and sustainable. Urban Mobility GmbH was founded by experts from the fields of aviation, mechanical engineering and logistics with the shared aim of developing and producing environmentally friendly transport vehicles that are perfectly suited to urban areas.

Urban Mobility’s logistics specialists define the product’s applications and characteristics, while their engineers ensure excellent manufacturability, ease of maintenance and the required robustness.

The innovative UM CargoBike made in Germany

Every single part in the UM CargoBike is made in Germany with a minimal carbon footprint. The highly robust heavy-duty cargo pedelec has a long lifespan and is ideally suited for delivering parcels, part loads

and cargo on Euro pallets or quarter pallets. This makes it the perfect choice for commercial delivery services, shipments, and courier, express and parcel (CEP) services. Businesses that have already adopted the UM CargoBike include food retailers, beverage delivery services, chemists, and parcel delivery and logistics companies.

The UM CargoBike boasts an impressive 2.0-cubic-metre cargo volume, a 250-kilogram payload in addition to the rider, and a range of up to 100 kilometres. Thanks to its patented tilting technology and full suspension, the cargo pedelec is as intuitive and as comfortable to ride as a normal bicycle. The UM CargoBike’s technology makes cornering easy while providing excellent riding stability and improved safety. It has a maintenance-free electronic chain and is exceptionally energyefficient due to its regenerative brake, which employs a recuperation mechanism to recover energy during the braking process and store it in the battery.

Depending on the specific requirements, the UM CargoBike can be supplied with various cargo add-ons or as a pick-up. The heavy-duty 4"or 8" wheels are positioned under the load platform to provide access to the load area from three sides. With the selection of cargo add-ons, a wide range of goods, from tools to parcels and even furniture, can be easily transported. The items can also be loaded with a forklift. The potential applications are diverse. Delivery services and commercial transport operations are not the only businesses that can use the UM CargoBike efficiently in their daily work – other sectors, including the skilled trades and service providers, can also reap immense benefits.

The UM CargoBike is classified as a pedelec 25 in Germany. This means that it can also be ridden on cycle paths and the rider does not need a driving licence. Delivery transports that used to be made in trucks and Sprinter vans in cities will be fulfilled on cargo bikes in the future. Many environmentally conscious companies and local authorities are increasingly adopting cargo bikes in urban areas to make their services or courier deliveries environmentally friendly. Cargo bikes are an eco-friendly alternative to diesel- and petrol-powered vehicles. Around 400 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions could be cut each year by handling 80 % of urban parcel delivery traffic on cargo bikes. In addition, they are more flexible, more mobile and easier to manoeuvre than vans. Urban space could be used much more efficiently by adopting small, agile cargo bikes, and the resources consumed per delivery would be reduced significantly, resulting in real savings for users. Switching to a UM CargoBike cuts carbon dioxide emissions considerably, which means that the users help to make their companies and our cities environmentally responsible. The UM CargoBike combines a large cargo volume and a high payload with convenience and ease of use in a single product that contributes significantly to protecting our environment.
