Amazon has teamed up with the City of London Corporation to reduce the number of delivery vehicles from streets in the Square Mile.
The final leg of Amazon’s parcel deliveries will be made by e-cargo bikes and people on foot to reduce traffic and cut harmful emissions.
The plan will take up to 85 vehicles off the roads each day according to Alistair Moss, Chair of the Planning and Transportation Committee at the City of London Corporation. This will mean 23,000 less vehicle journeys in central London every year.
Moss said: “We are determined to deliver better air quality and to improve road safety for our residents, workers and visitors. This commendable scheme delivers on both counts.”
